Yes, that forbidden image on NS General, goatse.
When CNN and YouTube decided to pair up and merge the mediums of television and internet, neither companies quite expected to get all the baggage that comes with user-submitted, online-oriented content. This time, that baggage came in the form of a hidden online secret image, lovingly labeled “GOATSE,” based on the original website “goatse.cx.”
“GOATSE” refers to an image that began circulating the internet and infiltrating innocent users’ internet explorer windows as early as January 2000. But what makes this image so unique is its inherently offensive nature - portraying a man distending his anal lining with his two hands while providing a very clear image of his erect penis
And despite an extensive screening and thorough analyzation of the videos submitted on behalf of YouTube and CNN alike, the image still made it under the radar and into tonight’s debate
The incident in question came during a question about our nation’s healthcare system. The user who submitted the video was speaking innocuously into the camera when the image of “goatse” was flashed for the briefest moment in 1/24th of a second, ranging just above the framerate treshhold with which television broadcasts.
Sorry, I won't link to the pic. But I'm sure most of you have seen one before.
Apparently, Hillary and Obama caught sight of it, by the looks on their faces.

This reminds me of the time the BBC invited viewers to submit their own 'London 2012' designs, and a Goatse-a-like got in. I think this could be a new sport...
That was, and will be, the only good thing to come out of the 2012 Olympics.

Democrat Debate? Christ... Liberal Media at work. :rolleyes:
As to the "flasher", I'd say that the value of having a better debate format is more than payment for a couple pranksters, so I'd say that except for the poor eyes of the candidates, it's not a huge deal.
There is no escape from Goatse. Not even presidential candidates are safe.

It's a complete waste of time and money. Plus, as far as 90% of it goes, no one really gives a shit about it anyway.
It's also far too expensive, and a total rip off for most UK taxpayers.

I have no desire to see that particular image on national TV. *shudders* However, a judiciously placed lolcat or 'Aw Jeez' could be amusing.

Oh, and you can almost guarantee by the time its over, the price tag will be two or three times what they are saying now.
That's if southern england isn't underwater completely by then.

The BBC one? Regrettably no. There is a still here, however. Safe for work, obviously (http://www.idiottoys.com/pics/olympic-goatse.jpg)

Not that..
The debate.
You want to know what's really scary? The goatse guy is wearing a wedding ring.

What's really scary is you were examining the picture to discover those kinds of things...

This whole thing was a hoax, people. There was no such image aired during the debate.

Indeed.

Because straight men never enjoy anal play.
Speak for yourself ;)
Seriously though, would his wife know about the existence of this picture? Could you imagine the conversation over dinner? "Hey Mark, someone at work showed me this awful picture today... some guy completely stretching him up... and it looked like he was enjoying himself too..."

I am sure his wife knows the full extent of his abilities.

Hmm I've looked at the question on you tube and haven't seen it in there. And some sites are saying it isn't true.
Did Syniks come in to any of your minds when that guy on Question 38 - "Are our "babies" safe?" pulled out that damn big ass rifle or whatever the hell it was. LOL. The guy looked similar (from what I can remember).. but I don't think he's old enough to be Syniks. Would be cool if it was him though. :D
