pornography:

creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire

I'm disturbed that you find the goatse man sexually desirable. :)

I don't :-p

I was merely using the term as it had been used in the article/comments, and for lack of other terms coming to mind.

I suspect that 'obscene' is probably the word you'd want, legally speaking.

"Horrific"? I'd say it it's that. The problem with that word is that it carries less moral weight - children see horrific things all the time, and it's part of growing up. Hell, children *do* horrific things to each other all the time.
