First Goatse

For the last couple of years, my friend Laszlo Toth has been conducting a cruel experiment. He shows his friends Goatse and then takes a photo of their reaction.
Want to play along at home? When you Goatse your friends, just tag the photos “firstgoatse” and add it to the “First Goatse” group.
UPDATE: I documented a First Goatse with our own John Law.

This is perhaps the greatest idea ever. Period. Screw peace, love and ending world hunger. This is WAY more important. Goatse horror RULES!

I’m not sure what’s worse, Goatse or the upskirt view of this chick:

Goatse isn’t even the best pic to get reactions… A few summers back we did this with tubgirl. Now go find tubgirl. Your retinas will (not) thank you.

OMG tubgirl is sick. Maybe you should have a side by side comparison of reactions. Which is sicker.

Ah Scott, I love you.

What about a firsttubgirl set (see http://www.tubgirl.com for “the” example)
on Tuesday, January 10th, 2006 at 10:57 am
Because that’s the computer they had on hand. Why the fuck do you care?

Euuuuuuu.
Now - i’ll never be able see the LAUGHING SQUID logo without thinking of Goatse.

TubGirl is so much more horrifying. He should do a social experiment where he surprises the same people another time with TubGirl and compare reactions… FOR SCIENCE!

Laszlo Toth? about 66 years old now? still hammering on marble religious statuary?
on Tuesday, January 10th, 2006 at 3:17 pm
Those photos are posed for. They’re fake.
on Tuesday, January 10th, 2006 at 3:40 pm
That was the 3rd time I’ve seen Tubgirl (blame my “friends” over on Tribe… mutter, grumble) and it HURT just as horribly much as the first. WHY do I click?!

Doesn’t the name, Laszlo Toth, tell you something?

Yes. As I was going through the Flickr images, I noticed a trend to these Goatse images … they are all being shown on Apple laptops and cellphones (or are those digital cameras?) Anyway, I guess there’s just something innocent about the Apple line of computers that puts people off their guard. :) I mean, shove a Windows laptop in someone’s lap with Goatse and I doubt you’ll get the same reaction. Well, yeah, you probably will. I guess this is showing that all of the innocent people on the internet use Apples. Now that they have been exposed, they will switch to Windows or Linux laptops. :)

FYI, Laszlo Toth is a pretty common name in Hungary.

I heard Goatse and Tubgirl were goin’ out.

Someone should create an app for the macbook pro that displays goatse and uses the builtin camera to take a picture of the persons reaction 1-2 seconds later. you could even set up a quick slide show with tubgirl and lemonparty and watch their facial expressions change. you could then create an animated gif of their expressions!

You need to get enough of these photos to make a giant mosaic of Goatse. i would proudly hang that on my wall.

I decided to remain a GOATSE-virgin and NOT LOOK (should I ever be confronted with it)!
(and, no, you can’t have my email address and ‘make me’ — how dumb do you think that I am, anyway?!? ;-)

FYI tubgirls vagoo is blurred out. Yes I noticed. And yes I came.
on Monday, June 4th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
It’s sorta vile, but still nothing compared to funnelgirl. Light up them search engines if you haven’t seen this one yet boys and girls.
