Goregrish.com is a shock site website which presents its viewers with graphic uncensored images and video of accident victims, drug overdoses, suicides, murders, executions and war crimes. It also contains pornographic video and other adult content. It is billed as "adults only extreme viewing" not suitable for minors.
Contents
Goregrish.com and most other similar shock websites exist on the premise the general public should have full access to multimedia that mainstream media organizations would never publish. The vast majority of video and images presented on goregrish contain extreme graphic violence, some being arguably classed as snuff movies, with videos such as the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs and Luka Magnotta criminal acts of murder being freely available to view there.
History
The site is believed to be an offshoot of the now defunct Uncoverreality.com shock website, with many former members presently residing there. Since the Luka Magnotta murder case and the widespread mainstream media attention it received, goregrish.com and similar themed websites have achieved a new level of notoriety on the internet, with the staff behind the goregrish message board being the subject of various interviews with media over the debate surrounding the morals of allowing this material to be shown online.
Goregrish.com is currently banned from Google.de search results in Germany by order of the Bundestag. Whether this is due to the graphic nature of the multimedia freely available or Goregrish.com allowing anti-semitic sentiments to be posted in its "uncensored" forum topics is unknown.
Ngatikaura Ngati autopsy images
Controversy arose when the autopsy images of Ngatikaura Ngati appeared on goregrish.com and bestgore.com, which some have characterized as pornographic. Current New Zealand Children’s Commissioner Dr. Russell Wills said he was "appalled" at their use. Even though shock sites did not create the photos, the images nevertheless fueled a squabble between bestgore.com and goregrish.com in 2011, wherein one lodged an unsuccessful DCMA (copyright) complaint with Google against the other.
