Own a Piece of Disgusting Internet History With Your Very Own Goatse Email Address (http://gawker.com/5958876/own-a-piece-of-disgusting-internet-history-with-your-very-own-goatse-email-address)
Internet nostalgia is having a moment. Animated gifs, AOL Instant Messenger (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/18/your-away-message-twitter-millenials-nostalgia_n_1893749.html), even the bracingsound (http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/06/the-mechanics-and-meaning-of-that-ol-dial-up-modem-sound/257816/) of the dial-up modem have all been fondly fetishized as relics of an older internet. Now a slightly more stomach-churning bit of online past can be yours with a custom Goatse email address. The most famous gross-out meme on the internet is back, in a way.
www.Goatse.cx (http://goatse.cx/) was the site, in the late 90s and early 2000s, of the infamous shock picture Goatse. (For everything you need to know about Goatse read Gawker's story about the history of the meme (http://gawker.com/5899787/).) Since 2004, it's lain dormant. But when the new Goatse.cx launches later this month, you will be able to get a [yourname]@goatse.cx email address, if you'd like everyone to think of a giant gaping asshole when you email them.

Is it awful that I kind of want one too?

Also, AIM is a relic... lol. I suddenly feel quite old.

AIM is a relic, I don't think I've had it on a computer in the past 8 years - mainly because its security has always been ridiculously bad.

Oh well if you haven't had it on your computer in 8 years it must​ be a relic.
