Welcome to the internet, mainstream media!
(NNC) - 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 *Link removed By poster, Search it out if you're that much of a freak*.
“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.
It could not have been worse than what the candidates were sayiing.
Who hasn’t already seen teh GOATSECKS?
Did Edwards blush, or become excited?
Just wondering....
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
And yet you still label the analyzation “thorough”!

Ok so now ONE of the videos was a fake produced by Salon writers in L.A.
and NOW
another was a joke in order to flash a sexual obsenity.
I hope the republicans don’t do this Youtube nonsense.

“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”
I guess the author of this piece couldn’t just leave it as “an offensive image,” or even “an image of a nude man engaged in lewd conduct.” Thanks for the detail.
I just made the big mistake of typing GOATSE in image search.
I need to buy an island.
No kidiing...jeez
Which question was the fake from salon.com?
For some reason it’s cracking me up though.
Hey, you’re calling “portraying a man distending his anal lining with his two hands while providing a very clear image of his erect penis” an offensive sight?
Isn’t this the image supposedly millions of gay men find appealing, if not downright irresistable? It’s not like you can’t see this kind of behavior going on at any New Orleans “Southern Decadence” celebration.
What’s wrong with a little public sex education? The guy was out (literally) and most likely, proud.
Oh yeah, /sarc
