Goatse.cx is an infamous Internet shock site and well-known Internet meme. Its front page contained a sexually explicit and extremely graphic picture, hello.jpg, featuring a man wearing a gold ring on his left hand with no visible clothing (although his entire body is not visible) manually stretching his anus and rectum to a diameter roughly equal to the width of his hand. Below his anus, the man's dangling penis and testicles were visible. The site was commonly linked to by Internet trolls in order to shock unsuspecting users with the image.
As of January 14, 2004, the domain goatse.cx is no longer online. However, many mirrors of the site are still available and the image itself has been posted at many other websites. The most common mirror was goat.cx; however, goat.cx was, like its predecessor, taken offline as of February 22, 2005. As of February 27 of that year, the domain goat.cx, like goatse.cx, were suspended by the Christmas Island Internet Administration, but the domain as of April 2005 appeared to be back online, showing only the message "eat my goatse'd penis!" In May 2005, there was an image on the site showing a pumpkin with some hands around it as if it was stretching its anus. Christmas Island Technology Corp has registered goats.cx as of May 24, 2005 with obviously nonexistent name servers, presumably in an attempt to prevent another mirror of the original goatse.cx. In July 2005, goats.cx displayed the text "SIRS! WE HAVE A PROBLEM! ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO GOATSE.CX!"
A mirror that closely resembles the original exists at
http://goatse.ragingfist.net/ but it lacks less known content. The Internet Archive has the original site preserved as it was before it was shut down. [1].
