A shock site is a website that is intended to be offensive or shocking to most of its viewers, containing shocking material which is considered distasteful and crude, and is generally of a pornographic, scatological, or extremely violent nature. In most cases, a shock site displays a single picture, some shock sites also show animations or galleries of images, shock sites are often passed around via email or disguised in posts to discussion sites as a hoax in an attempt to trick readers into following the link to the website.
Examples of shock sites
[edit] ******.cx
Main article: ******.cx
******.cx, [1] was one of the best-known shock sites that existed, featuring an image, hello.jpg, of a man stretching his anus with his hands. This same image was formerly called the "shock3r" , and has been featured on various hacked sites. The link to these sites was primarily spread through IRC.
The original domain ******.cx was pointed to www.blackraven.cx (masked in an HTML frame) by the NIC .cx authority in January 2004, but several mirrors sites are currently up and running hosting the original content[2] (including ******.ch, ******.fr, as well as ******.cz which also manages to preserve some of the original phonetic appeal).
[edit] Tubgirl.com
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 orange/yellow liquid from her anus onto her face. Before the launch of tubgirl.com, this image was featured in a rotten.com story "Fecal Japan"[3] claiming that the subject matter is allegedly popular in Japan. The image displayed on tubgirl.com is marked as having been previously posted on Consumption Junction. 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.
[edit] Other shock sites
One item on Rotten.com contains 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.[4] The page also mentions a crude ASCII art version, which appears from time to time on Slashdot.
[edit] Former shock sites
Rustina.org contains a falsified picture of Rusty Foster's wife having sex with another man, as well as a fictional account of the story behind the picture. It is the picture that caused Rusty to temporarily shut down new user sign ups on his website.[5] The site was taken down as of December 2, 2006.[citation needed]
ShrewsburyCollege.co.uk was a site containing a photograph of two men, one being anally penetrated by the other with what appeared to be a bicycle pump. In addition, both were covered in feces. The name of the site was taken from the Shrewsbury College of Arts & Technology, which used to be known by the acronym SCAT. The website has now been replaced by the actual Shrewsbury College website. This shock site was perhaps the only one to have appeared in a print newspaper, featuring in a front-page article of the Shrewsbury Chronicle on 8 December 2005. In the aforementioned article, the MP for Shrewsbury & Atcham, Daniel Kawczynski, mentioned that the site was brought to his attention by a fellow Member of Parliament. The visitor logs of what are presumably the reporter that wrote the story, and Kawczynski are available to view online. [6] [7]
From my own personal experience, I can honestly say that these sites, like ROTTEN and STEAK AND CHEESE
f***** up my childhood! It is amazing how easily accessible they are. All I had to do, at the age of 13, was click that I was over 18, and hey presto! Instant access to hondreds of the most shockingly disgusting pictures. A couple that I can still recall with vivid accuracy, were a man who had had his face grinded in my a motorcycle tyre running at full speed. You could see every part of the inside of his face, and his tongue was lolling out. My God, it gave me nightmares! he was even alive, that's the scary part!
And a man with his head up a womans' ***. (I'm sure it was real...)
I would avoid them at all costs if I were you, unless that's the kinda thing that floats ur boat...
