A bit of background. Goatse is possibly the foulest image ever put on the internet: a man pulling open his anus so wide that you could stick a child’s head in it. I’m not even going to link to it, but if you want to type w-w-w-dot-g-o-a-t-s-e-dot-c-x into your browser, that’s your own right. The image became famous after trolls — people who like to spend time running up bandwidth for stupid posts on message boards — started linking to it on every board under the sun. And that’s where b3ta comes in. One of their forums members has painted a version of the image, and submitted to his local paper and got it printed.
