Slashdot was ripe with memes. One of the more sinister ones was posting a comment link to something mundane looking, but it was actually a link to a .cx shock site containing "goat" in the domain name. Later it evolved into Rick Rolling, but the goat thing predated that by long. I think the prank / meme became so widespread that at some point they changed the site code to spell out the linked domain name in text after the <a>.

  I fell for that one so many times that I became completely desensitized to the picture.

  The goatse meme lived on until 2012 when the bbc broadcast an Olympic logo suggestion based on it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YXyTn3-bluk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YXyTn3-bluk

    And instead we got one that's been described as "Lisa Simpson giving a blowjob". I'm not sure we did better.

      I used it a couple weeks back. A Hackernews tried to tell us Emacs was dying, so I asked him if Netcraft confirmed it.

My favorite Soviet Russia joke was 'in Soviet Russia, television watch you' but somewhere along the way capitalists decided this was a brilliant idea ¯\(°_o)/¯
