The current sanitized internet of "unalive", "f*ck", etc. would shit bricks if exposed to all of the heinous shit of yestercentury

I mean, that shit is still around, just not in the corpo approved ad pages. It's only been, like, a year tops since I've seen a decapitation.

Lemon party, meatspin, various numbers of girls and cups, tubgirl and goatse. Links and emails and timed redirects. Any way someone could think of to get others to look at something they'd been tricked into seeing.

The children of today have no idea of the scars we bear.
