Open Wide! Goatse.cx is Back as the World’s Sickest E-Mail Address Ever

If this isn't the first time you've surfed the Internet, then I'm pretty sure you've already heard of Goatse.cx. You know, one of the web's most notorious URLs that shows you an image of a dude stretching his butthole to ginormously disgusting proportions.

The good news is Goatse.cx is dead. Well, sort of. The image site version is, but a couple of days ago, the URL was resurrected.

It turns out someone out there thinks that Goatse.cx would make a good email address. He's probably joined by a few like-minded people who'll eventually sign up for one when the service officially opens.

It's highly likely that people in the know (meaning, people who are of aware what Goatse.cx used to be) will find the address odd, gross, and reminiscent of the picture that probably burned holes into their eyes when they first saw it. They will also probably not open messages that were sent with the offensive email address. But then again, they might find the whole thing amusing and your messages will go through without a hitch.

It could go either way. If you're willing to take the risk, you can sign up at Goatse.cx for an invite when they launch the service.
