Such is the power of Goatse. It's actually quite amazing. You say things like, "I'm sorry you saw Goatse." other people say things like "I wish I could go back in time and not see Goatse." The message couldn't be more plain. YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU LOOK AT GOATSE.
And yet others will come, read those comments, be curious, and actively seek out Goatse. Goatse is a power that can't be stopped. Almost like a black hole. Once you have heard the mention of Goatse, you have crossed the event horizon, and nothing you can do will keep you from being sucked in.
