A '''shock site''' is a form of [[screamer]] that uses disturbing imagery, commonly pornography, gore, and graphic content, to shock the viewer(s). Just like traditional [[screamer|screamers]], shock sites have a goal to shock the viewers with unexpected content. Some good example of shock sites are [[2 Girls 1 Cup]], [[Jarsquatter]], [[1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick]] and [[Goatse]]. These websites have gained a high level of popularity and are often used as a way to prank people. | A '''shock site''' is a form of [[screamer]] that uses disturbing imagery, commonly pornography, gore, and graphic content, to shock the viewer(s).

Shock sites slowly started to spread around the web in the late 90's. The first shock site to be widely spread across the web was [[2 Girls 1 Cup]]. This one-minute clip of two women performing a scat play made a huge success. Since then, more shock sites surfaced on the Internet. | Shock sites slowly started to spread around the web in the late 90's.
