Flipping through some forensic science textbooks while cataloging them. Urk.
From a past relationship: I came home to find a half naked 13 year old in the closet, my boyfriend struggling to get his pants on, not going to go into detail.
And my husband wonders why I hve trust issues?
The Zapruder film. I had never seen it before until just recently. I knew the history, I’d heard the theories, I’d read about the players. I’d never seen the footage. I sobbed my heart out like it just happened yesterday. Now if I’m watching television and I recognise clips from it, Jackie reaching out… I start sobbing all over again. Not weeping, not crying, sobbing. I wish I had never seen that. I know, I know it’s all history to most of you guys. It’s all new to me, and horrifying. I didn’t need to see that.
LOTS of 9/11 images. Mostly the trapped people jumping out of the towers, willing to hit the pavement rather than being burned alive.
I read the book “David” by his mother Marie Rothenberg. He was the child whose father deliberately poured kerosene over him and then set him on fire. He lived, but the photos of him are awful.
I was visiting my mother years ago. The woman next door started screaming and I ran around to find her 2 or 3 year old son who had been run over by a coal truck in his own backyard.
I don’t know these words.
Then Google them…NOT :eek: 
Working for a vet in Atlanta, this asshat brings in a pit bull he was to cheap to pay for a tail dock on. So he wrapped a large rubber band around her tail about two inches from her butt. By the time he brought her to us, the tail was a dead skeleton covered with dead skin, and gangrene had set in at the base of the tail. And the poor sweet dog was trying to wag her tail!
The vet went in the exam room, looked at the dog, and told the owner: “You have two choices here. You can turn around, walk out of this clinic without this dog, and never show your face in here again. You other choice is for me to call the police right now. You have 30 seconds to make a decision.”
He left the dog. We did surgery (including a spay), got her healed and adopted out to a good home. But I will never forget that poor dog trying to wag that dead tail.
I’ve got a couple (and I’m usually pretty good with gory photos):
-
A picture of a guy lifting a heavy weight, and I think he had a prolapsed rectum. I didn’t stick around long enough to make sure. :eek:
-
A photo of a guy who was supposedly in a motorcycle accident without a helmet, though later on it was pretty much determined that he’d actually been hit in the face with a shotgun. The entire lower part of his face was bloody hamburger. The freakiest part was that he was still alive and his eyes were wide open. I can look at that one now without squicking out, but when I first saw it, it haunted me for a long time.
Neither of these pics should be hard to find if you want to see for yourself–I believe both of them are on Snopes, actually.
University of Central Arkansas?

The lotus-pod breast photoshop…thing. Gah.
As I’m sure many of you have done with your folks, I’ve walked in on my parents getting it on before. Definitely not something I look back on fondly, but not scarring or anything like that.
A couple of things on Rotten, though, HAVE disturbed me to the point I wish I hadn’t seen them. The first was morgue photos of Lisa McPherson (CAREFUL, the article has no objectionable pictures but has links to sites that do), a member of the Church of Scientology who died in the “care” of other members. I had seen her picture in a Newsweek article about her death, and the contrast with the postmortem pictures was jarring, to say the least. See, based on the condition of the eyes relative to the rest of the body, I’m not sure if she had been dead for a while before they took the pictures or if she had been alive like that (and that, friends, was my introduction to Co$).
The other one was a series of photos of a huddled corpse that definitely HAD been dead for a while, and his/her eyes were wide open. The photographer must’ve been a sadist, because in one photo it seemed like the corpse was actually looking into the camera. For several days afterward there were times when I couldn’t blink without seeing that face.
So I’m not a dog person, what with my massive phobia…what’s a tail dock?
A tail dock is a procedure where the tail of a dog is made shorter. It is common/traditional to have it done on certain breeds. One can argue about performing cosmetic surgery on pets, but done by a vet it should be less cruel than what this person did. See also the thread in MPSIMS titled something like “So I help vets mutilate dogs”–too lazy to make a proper link.
That was also the worst thing I’d ever seen. The sounds the man made as the knife moved through his throat… Horrible. Utterly horrible.
That made me start crying. Poor puppy!
I’ve seen a lot of disturbing stuff on the internet, stuff that puts tubgirl and goatse to shame. Anyone ever see the one of the guy cooking and eating the baby?

Did you know that was fake, or was it just the image per se that freaked you out?
I saw both of those and the second one I found particularly disturbing (by the way, it wasn’t a motorcycle accident as originally claimed, it was a failed suicide attempt). What bothered me about it is that the guy was concious and looking at the camera and I got the sense the picture was an exploitation by some creepy ER staffer.
Someone mentioned the Bud Dwyer suicide and I have to rate that second to the Russian guy. The amount of blood was just astounding.
Hey! I like that ugly frickin’ dog!
As for me . . . remember back in the ‘80s when Harry and Leona Helmsley were having all those legal troubles? One of the news shows had a clip of them on vacation in bathing suits, and I didnl’ look away fast enough. It’s still burned into my retinas.
Nope. Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania. The sad thing is, he is the third guy in two years to be charged with sex crimes and one of the other two was also a tenured professor; the third man was a police officer.
I really don’t want to be the university’s PR guy right now. It looks like the uni system doesn’t screen its people all that carefully, and I’m sure there are parents encouraging their kids to attend another college.
