I tried to protect you, Cindy. I tried.

Thank you, Hec. You know, I wouldn't want to see that, but the explanation was actually milder than what I was expecting, when I read ita say she wouldn't even white font it.

How'd it get the name?

---

I have never linked to a photo of goatse Hec

ita, I really feel there should be a comma between "goatse" and "Hec."

Though, come to think of it, the comma-less version is correct, also.

---

Sophia, that's your brain's way of protecting you!

except now I have seen it like 100 times!

---

Thank you, shrift. I appreciate it. At least I knew enough not to click on pictures (or ita's links).

You know, I've changed so many diapers, and seen so many varied events while doing so, that I'm pretty sure I'll forget that explanation with little to no trauma.

Por favor!

Hisss!

More backstage Hugh just for Scrappy:

Asked what it was like to run the gauntlet of the red carpet, he said that this year, he had it lucky - he followed Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie through the press obstacle course. He said he was like "an old plastic bag… I just let them tow me along in their wake."

And he said it’s no less crazy to win a Globe a second time (and no, he hasn’t figured out how to display the pair of statues in his home, he admitted).

"There is no way to prepare -- someone asked me if it would all be run of the mill now. It is sort of like your second parachute jump. You can’t be blase about a second parachute jump and start lighting a cigarette on the way down…. It was really a very exciting thing, still is."

Grey's Anatomy backstage weirdness:

The weirdest moment of the night was when the “Grey’s Anatomy” cast came backstage to talk about their best TV drama win. Someone asked about whether stars T.R. Knight and Isaiah Washington had made up, and as show creator Shonda Rhimes was in the midst of speaking, Washington grabbed the mic abruptly and rather angrily it seemed, and said “No, I did not call T.R.”’ a homosexual slur. “Never happened.”

OK. Let’s just say the mood was not festive on the stage. If anything, the look on Patrick Dempsey’s face was downright icy.

The explanation in absolutely no way does justice to the trauma of the actual photo.

---

Ailleann, you poor poor thing.

---

I forgot the first time. I've never forgotten since. As tommyrot says, it cannot be unknown. It's like tubgirl that way.

Cindy, Hec did frame it quite...politely. The page was about a guy substituting this reknowned grossness for a picture of his that was being hotlinked all over, especially myspace.

That did occur to me with the provocateuse sites, but I ended up just cutting off all hotlinking instead.

---

Yah, see, I won't give that, not even in whitefont.

Bless you, ita. It's why as disturbing as your links can be, I still click them. Because there are places that you won't go to.
