First Goatse

Boing Boing has a major hang-up with "Goatse." Entries on said topic are typically and frequently posted by Xani Jardin. To see examples, click here. Excluding this fascination, she is an interesting gal.

Ok, end of digression. I tend to skip over these posts b/c they are not that interesting. But this post by Mark Frauenfelder caught my eye and it is surprisingly funny.

If you are not familiar with term or concept, please I beseach you, do not investigate. Put simply, and this is all you need to know to enjoy the above link, "goatse" is the image of a person's outstretched butthole. It is so very 'outstretched' that it looks not only painful, but life threatening. Interest in the image is sort of a cult thing on the internets.
