In response to my previous post,
octopoid_horror posted a link.
He mentioned that there were no photos until the very end - and even then you have to click on the links, so you can't see anything by accident. Up until that point it's just text.
It turned out I'd read the article before, but was unable to resist the urge to read it all again.
I didn't, however, click on the links. You'd have to pay me quite a lot of money to make me do that.
Which has me wondering what kind of threshholds other people have...

Good Lord!
I have to admit, while I've seen more revolting things than I can easily recount, it's largely been images. But that's probably because I was going through that whole phase when the internet couldn't do movies...

Date: 2008-02-18 11:56 pm (UTC)Then I read the text. Page four of the text, the description of the film, actually made me gag, despite the fact that the stills had provoked no reaction.
I wonder what that says about me?

I didn't gag, though. I did the Roger Moore / Mr Spock thing with my eyebrow. And the "ahh well" again.

Oh, except vomit. But if there's a fetish involving vomit, I just don't want to know.
God, there is, isn't there? There must be. I so wish I hadn't even thought of that.

Date: 2008-02-19 10:38 am (UTC)Because I have been on the internet long enough to know that there are things to wish you hadn't seen. So I have yet to see this, or 2girls1cup, and intend to keep it that way.
