It’s just not a contest until you see a goatse

October 6th, 2007

As I’ve mentioned here and here, we’re holding a logo contest for Webmin’s tenth anniversary. We’ve gotten a ton of fantastic entries, and we’re coming down to the final hours of the contest. We are feeling really good about quite a few of the entries, but today the entries finally achieved what all great contests should aspire to: an unintentional goatse troll.

The finest goatse logo troll of all time, of course, appeared during the BBC Olympic “Lisa Simpson doing something naughty” logo coverage (pay attention at about :29 on the clock). But, now we’ve got one of our very own:
