Halloween Jack (14), I predict that they would blog the test, interview the guy administering it, print their favorite blot on a t-shirt, and in general have such an interesting time that they’d never get around to answering the questions.

Better this than a “2 Girls, 1 Cup” ornament.

I feel so behind the curve. Or fortunate I am not sure which. I just do not get the Goatse reference though I gather it is on a par with 2g1c in its general inapropriatness. So I guess i am not offended by the ornament.

CarnyTrash: Better this than a “2 Girls, 1 Cup” ornament.

Yes. The prestigious “2 Girls, 1 Cup” label should be reserved for a line of soft-serve ice cream machines.

It would have been more convincing if the fingers were different lengths, and worst of all they forgot the ring!

Oh come on; this just isn’t fair.

Tubgirl needs to be represented too.

Not quite good enough, IMO. It needs to be one of those ornaments with the big shiny indentations to be true to the source material. (My artist’s misconception is at http://www.wendellwit.com/wp-content/uploads/goatsmas2.jpg ) But it’s still quite capable of being taken innocently.

Have the Boing Boing staff ever taken a Rorschach test? Just wonderin’.

i agree with Wendell. indentation needed.

that being said, i can only hope that the 2G1C meme lasts only a fraction of the time that freakin’ goatse has hung around. i am waaaay over goatse in all its high-larious forms.

Ug, you know the quickest way to killing a disgusting internet meme is to STOP PROPAGATING IT!!!

Seriously. It’s like Boing Boing has a fettish. It’s creepy and gross.
