(NNC) - When CNN and YouTube decided to pair up and merge the mediums of television and internet, neither companies quite expected to get all the baggage that comes with user-submitted, online-oriented content. This time, that baggage came in the form of a hidden online secret image, lovingly labeled “GOATSE,” based on the original website “goatse.cx.”

“GOATSE” refers to an image that began circulating the internet and infiltrating innocent users’ internet explorer windows as early as January 2000. But what makes this image so unique is its inherently offensive nature - portraying a man distending his anal lining with his two hands while providing a very clear image of his erect penis.

And despite an extensive screening and thorough analyzation of the videos submitted on behalf of YouTube and CNN alike, the image still made it under the radar and into tonight’s debate.

The incident in question came during a question about our nation’s healthcare system. The user who submitted the video was speaking innocuously into the camera when the image of “goatse” was flashed for the briefest moment in 1/24th of a second, ranging just above the framerate treshhold with which television broadcasts.

Goatse in top-right corner…

Though the image flashed only briefly, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were seen wincing at the image. Whether or not it was recognized remains unknown.

As of this time, it is unclear as to how many Americans witnessed the outrage, but there are reports of as many as 200,000 phone calls made to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) reporting the obscenity.

CNN has yet to make an official statement regarding the matter, but a top spokesman was reportedly overheard denouncing the incident as “despicable.”

Haha, not surprising at all.

I'll be real happy if they catch the guy who is responsible and prosecute him. In my opinion that is what should have been happening if you posted goatse from the very beginning.

I"m sure the perpetrator of this most heinous crime will get a 10 year federal jail sentence. More than most drug dealers and murders!

It is a disgusting photo (and I hope the guy who's ass it is is dead from shame), but is it really worse than some of the lying ass bullshit hillary clinton or some of the others spew out on a nightly basis?

If your ass were all over the internet yet nobody recognized you and it was used to disgust for almost a decade, would you be ashamed or proud?

I'd definately put it on my tombstone. You bet your ass.

"Here lies Daniel, the goatse"

and I'd have a picture etched on my tombstone, too.
