One woman was so startled by the image that she called 911. “There’s an electronic billboard that is flashing a naked man,” she said. “It’s not actually an emergency; it’s just totally disgusting.” The billboard’s owner soon cut the power, and a group called the Assange Shuffle Collective, named for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, claimed responsibility. ”Ironically, we didn’t realize that Buckhead was an incredibly affluent neighborhood, which makes the whole thing terrifically good fun,” the group said in a Reddit post. “Burn the rich.” The group also claimed to be “BEHIND 7 PROXIES” on Reddit, saying that they won’t be arrested by the FBI.[/quote] Sources: [quote][url]http://gawker.com/fbi-and-homeland-security-respond-to-shocking-goatse-bo-1704768347[/url][/quote] [quote][url]http://atlanta.suntimes.com/atl-news/7/78/147697/fbi-investigate-pornographic-goatse-billboards[/url][/quote]

Meant for the title to say "Group" instead of guy, as apparently it was a group of people who did it.

[QUOTE=J!NX;47739924]so we should never call 911 unless we are being threatened to death? you've never heard of reporting a crime have you? we shouldn't call 911 over a stolen car? or a domestic abuse? or a man stealing? or a man running around naked screaming "ITS THE END OF THE WORLD"?[/QUOTE] I don't think what's essentially vandalism is actually considered an emergency that needs to be tended to [I]right now[/I]. If you see it, you should probably still report it, but you should use the police non-emergency line (or 311, hell 311 can sometimes work for "I want to report something to the police that isn't an emergency" and the operators will just connect you to your police's non-emergency line).

Since most people don't know the local police number, the 911 operator can redirect your call to that line if needed.

It's pretty disgusting. So I can understand why that woman called 911; she even admitted it wasn't an emergency situation-- it was just highly abnormal and disturbing. Funny, to those of us who aren't shocked by anything anymore, but stupid, and absolutely in bad taste.

PLUS, I doubt many places in America would really suffer from just an additional 911 call. Crime is not THAT rampant, let alone that rampantly reported in most places.

Didn't the goatse man die by sticking a watermelon in his pooper or something? Or was it a volleyball.

Hey this is in buckhead. I recognize it since i go to buckhead Atlanta to visit family every year.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;47740034]tbh the billboard could cause distractions and potential car accidents[/QUOTE] Just like any other regular billboard trying to get your attention so some company can try selling you sh-OH GO

[QUOTE=James xX;47739894]I know people say "Think of the children" as a joke sometimes, but honestly, think of the children.[/QUOTE] Yeah I mean Goatse is pretty fucking gross to look at already, imagine lots of people seeing it at once. It wasn't just "Fuck you ololol" in text, it was a fucking gaping Anus.

its comforting to me that this is still horrifyin people after all these years

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;47740049]Just like any other regular billboard trying to get your attention so some company can try selling you sh-OH GO[/QUOTE] Well there's a difference between an ad for some beer, and a huge gaping anus staring right at you and your family.

I could imagine being so disturbed that you couldn't think straight and called 911 without thinking of 311. I mean, that wouldn't happen to me because I'd be way too busy laughing my ass off.
