Transcript

[Cueball and Megan, both wearing headsets with antennae, sunglasses and jetpacks, are hovering.]
Cueball: Darling, let's put on our best fake accounts, connect to the core ForumSpace, and trick people into looking at a picture of a man's distended anus!
Megan: Oh, it'll be just like old times!

Discussion

I think theyare talkin' bout the goatse man -- ‎134.93.76.3 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Yes, exactly. This is a direct reference to goatse; whoever created it sure knew about shock sites but apparently not about goatse (or didn't want to go that far). In any case, it seems important enough to put in, which I have done. --Quicksilver (talk) 20:30, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
