We apologize for not catching this yesterday but, frankly, our knowledge of the internet's degenerate history is shamefully lacking. Thank heavens an observant reader alerted us to brilliant photo detail in yesterday's Times piece on Google: Blogger and Movable Type geek Anil Dash seems to be sporting a GOATSE t-shirt.

For those of you who still have your retinas intact, goatse.cx was a particularly infamous internet shock site "featuring a man wearing a gold ring on his left hand (and nothing else), manually stretching his anus and rectum to a diameter roughly equal to the width of his hand. Below his gaping anus, the man's dangling penis and testicles are visible." Ah, just how the Times likes it.
