A shock site is a website which aims to offend as many people as possible, generally by showing offensive images. It is used often as a form of attack during message board invasions. The following is a list of sites thought to be shock sites.
- Goatse.cx is one of the most well-known shock sites, and perhaps the most infamous. The image which appears on the site's index, hello.jpg, depicts a man stretching his anus with his hands. The site was taken down by the NIC .cx authority in January 2004, but there are several mirrors of the original site.
- Lemonparty.org contains a picture, lemonparty.jpg, of three elderly men lying on a bed naked, engaged in kissing and oral sex. The site was defunct for a number of years, then restored. It once had a link that stated "click here to wash your eyeballs", which led to a picture of a kitten. In addition, the background has turned gray and there is another link below that leads to Bottleguy.
- Penis Bird is an image of a Scarlet Macaw perched on a man's erect penis. The page contains a note from a Slashdot reader asking that the image be relocated (if not removed) because Slashdot trolls are using hyperlinks to send unsuspecting users there. The page also mentions a crude ASCII art version of the penisbird, which appears from time to time on Slashdot. External link: smoke.rotten.com/bird
- Tubgirl.com was a redirect to a picture, tubgirl.jpg, containing a masked, naked woman lying in a bathtub, buttocks raised with her legs over her head, projecting a fountain of liquid from her anus. This liquid was originally thought to have been feces, but after it was revealed that this photo is part of a series, people thought it was orange juice. Before the launch of tubgirl.com, this image was featured in a rotten.com story "Fecal Japan" claiming that the subject matter is allegedly popular in Japan. The image displayed on tubgirl.com is marked as having been previously posted on consumptionjunction.com. The url address www.tubgirl.com now redirects to Consumption Junction, and displays the image with a "rate me" box, where viewers can rate the image from 1 to 10.
- Last Measure is a shock site that utilizes flash to spawn endless pop-ups featuring many well-known shock pictures as well as NSFW audio. It also attempts to forward the site's address through your mail application. Previous versions utilized javascript.
- Honkee.org was a site containing violently anti-semitic and homophobic posts, along with images, animated .gifs and short .avi movies on the same theme. The site went offline in 2004, apparently due to lack of funds.
- Hai2u.com features an image of a woman vomiting while performing fellatio on a man sitting in a lawn chair, taken from a photo shoot by Max Hardcore. The actress uses the stage name Catalina and is featured in several of Hardcore's films. The site has the text "HAI2U!!!1 :)" in bold at the top of the page. The page is written in w3c validated XHTML 1.0 Transitional markup for officialness, and contains a link visible only in the Internet Explorer browser to make it your homepage. It was at one point highly ranked on a Google image search for "blowjob". External link: www.hai2u.com
- Fuck.org features a picture of a black man having sex with an inflatable purple penguin, with a mysteriously serene expression on his face. This page formerly consisted of single different images in the past such as circuses, bold texts, etc. External link: www.fuck.org
- CherryCake.org contains a picture showing the remains of a man who put a lit firecracker into his mouth. It is not yet known who he was. The name was chosen to trick people into going to the site, as the gruesome photo makes the victim look like an oozing cherry cake. On February 16 2006, the front page was updated to show a picture of a fetus which appears to be suffering from a serious case of Harlequin type ichthyosis, followed by the original picture of the man's face after 2 seconds. External link: www.cherrycake.org
- Klerck.org was a website that had several images. The former webmaster of the site, Klerck, was found dead in the bathroom of his boyfriend's apartment on the morning of 8 March 2005. He posted a suicide note on his LiveJournal, which has since been suspended. A mirror of the suicide note can be found here.
- Bottleguy.com is a picture of a man with a large glass bottle in his anus. External link: www.bottleguy.com
- Teletorrents.org contains a picture of one man's hand immersed in a second man's anus. Large text below the picture reads "Surprise, asshole!". The domain of the site is purposely misleading, indicating that it contains BitTorrent files. External link: www.teletorrents.org
