Ghastly things from the uttermost deeps of the Web: Part 1

You know how it works...you run a search and something shows up that is so weird you just have to check it out. Or you're visiting a web page, and they link you to something else, and then there's that odd little link in the corner, and so on, and so on. Into the darkness.

You ever walk through an unfamiliar neighborhood in a city, and look around, and realize that you are not in a Good Place? Or hiking through the woods and you notice the sun has gone down, and the bushes and trees are developing very dark shadows? You hear an odd noise around the corner, or in the bushes, and you just GOTTA go look? Even though you KNOW you're not going to like what you find?

I'm not talking about those porn sites you get kicked into sometimes where dozens of new browser windows start opening up in rapid succession and the only way to stop them is to hit your computer with a sledgehammer. Everybody hits those once in a while.

No, I'm talking about things like this...

In the name of God, don't click on the "Fashion Page" link. As Pournelle says, I do this stuff so you don't have to.

The horror, the horror...
