NATIONWIDE CNN, YouTube debate “GOATSE’D!!!”

***INDULGE YOUR DESIRE TO BE OFFENDED, CLICK HERE***
Best of Detales

(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 “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.


Goatse in top-right corner…

Though the image flashed only briefly, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were seen wincing at the image. Whether or not it was recognized remains unknown.

As of this time, it is unclear as to how many Americans witnessed the outrage, but there are reports of as many as 200,000 phone calls made to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) reporting the obscenity.

CNN has yet to make an official statement regarding the matter, but a top spokesman was reportedly overheard denouncing the incident as “despicable.”

  19. I would be highly, highly suspicious if this didn’t get allowed on CNN by CNN - on purpose. Look - the questions that CNN chose were watered down questions from the most outrageous and “slacker-looking” people. They didn’t tackle any of the hard issues, the whole thing was a sham set up so that CNN watchers would conclude that online activists are just “stoned slackers” looking for bit-parts in “Idiocracy.” They deliberately chose the worst submissions in an attempt to portray a straw-man counter-argument to the valid criticism that CNN throws softball questions and doesn’t actually report the news of the day.

    So I think it was deliberate.

  25. i got goatsed’d the other day using firefox browser, on wikipedia…it appeared in place of an image in the article. i was thoroughly confused for a few seconds, and when i refreshed it was gone. i never heard of it appearing in a video, though…doesn’t seem as though it’d be possible, so i’m a bit skeptical. saw the debates last night and didn’t notice it, anyway.

  42. whatever this tool thinks this is - a “blog”, an “artistic experiment” - it fails.

    if this is the best you can come up with, leave the “artistic experimentation” to people with actual ideas or even a tiny bit of intelligence.

    people that waste time with garbage like this and then use the cop out excuse that it’s somehow “art” are using tired ideas that the real art world got past 30 years ago.

    my guess - it’s a college kid or a recent grad/dropout that has no clue about the history of modern art and hides behind the “artistic experiment” excuse as if he’s come up with something new.

  62. I think some people have missed the point of this blog. The point is to challenge reality, to spark discussion–at least that was my interpretation–and in that respect (whether you love it or hate it) this blog is a success.

    The fact that this post got 60+ comments so quickly and spawned multiple discussions on other sites, was passed to me through IM throughout the day yesterday, AND has Digg users examining the submission and rating features of the site means it had fairly good impact.

    Since when are satire and humor not forms of art? Was it when so many were bamboozled and took it for real? The “fine print” of this site says “There will be articles, fake and real…”

    To me, the really provocative parts of this article are not within the article itself, but are the astoundingly clear examples of terrifying human behavior. The fact that many people (even though they watched the entire debate live and never saw the goatse image) believed it to be true. They took their own experience, their own FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE of the event and toss it out, substituting an internet claim for their own reality, swallowing the fake with ease. Some even claimed “I thought I saw something!” to cover the possibility that they might have missed it.

    The other is that people don’t take the time to examine a source. I came here, lured by the headline, and immediately clicked to find out more about this site. I want to know the who, what, and why behind the ideas presented to me. Doesn’t anyone else anymore? If you had read that when you first came to the site, would you have gotten so mad? How can you get mad when it says right out in the open what the site is about, what the purpose is?

    You’re mad because you were duped. You’re mad because it made you aware of how easily it can be done. You’re not mad because this site showed up on Digg. You’re mad because you or someone you know was caught being a sheep. You’re mad because you might have to start thinking independently instead of believing everything you read.
