Last Measure is a shock site created by members (specifically penisbird[1]) of the Internet trolling group Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA).

The main page plays a voice using the Flash plugin shouting, "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" at a high volume, while various famous shock site images move around in popup windows, bouncing off the sides of the screen. The voice in previous Last Measure versions was in the file fsckyou.wav.mp3 (fsck is a Unix utility that checks filesystems for consistency, but is used in this context as a modified version of the word fuck).

How it works

Last Measure abuses Adobe Flash to make it very hard to leave the website once the victim visits it, short of shutting down the computer or killing the process of the web browser. It spawns pop-up windows indefinitely, effectively making the browser a fork bomb. Previous versions used JavaScript to the same end, but the growing use of pop-up blockers reduced its effectiveness, prompting the switch to Flash scripts. The latest version of Last Measure, called Last Measure Unified, uses mailto links to open a large number of new e-mail message windows in the user's default e-mail program (in most cases Outlook Express or Mozilla Thunderbird). Due to the specifications of the mailto URI scheme, Last Measure isn't able to retrieve contact info from a user's contact list or send any e-mails, however, due to the proliferation of spam bots and the fact that these links are formatted in a way that they spawn several email drafts with the headers To: and Subject: and the body of the e-mail pre-filled, many users are tricked into thinking that Last Measure is actually trying to send e-mails.

The only way to stop the popups on Windows is to manually close the browser application in the Process List via the Task Manager (for instance, iexplore.exe for Internet Explorer or firefox.exe for Firefox).

Shock images included

Last Measure combines many other shock site images:

  • Tubgirl, a picture of a woman anally expelling an orange enema on her face (commonly thought to be feces)
  • Penisbird, a picture of a parrot standing on a man's erect penis. This initially appeared on Rotten.com.
  • Goatse.cx's hello.jpg, the infamous picture of a man stretching his anus.
  • Lemonparty, a picture of three elderly men lying on a bed naked, engaged in kissing and oral sex.
  • pillowfight.jpg, a picture of a man's genitals covered in feces.
  • spin.gif, commonly known as "Meatspin." An animated picture of transexual porn star Cristina Bianchini receiving anal sex from her male co-star. Cristina's penis is spinning in a circle.
  • Loopback.jpg (from Goatse.cx), a picture of a man looping his penis into his anus.
  • Christmas.jpg, depicts a picture of a man opening his anus with a table clamp. His penis and testicles are also visible.
  • pooped.jpg, a picture of a woman's face with feces on it.
  • rustina.jpg, depicts the wife of Rusty Foster, creator of Kuro5hin. Her face is Photoshopped onto a picture of a naked woman having sex with a black man with a large penis.
  • eww.jpg, a picture of a young girl, with two naked people in the background, with one of the people exposing his buttocks. The text The Fuck What?! in red is visible, with the man's naked buttocks circled in a red circle.
  • freak.jpg, a picture of a naked black female body builder.
  • Some versions contain weightlifter.jpg, a picture of a powerlifter with red trousers suffering from an anal prolapse. The intestine is seen through a hole in his trousers. Though originating at Rotten.com, a Snopes article features the same image.

At the bottom of the page is the text "Lastmeasure last measure last-measure nero institute", which is an attempt to get the page listed under Google. The title of the page is "Our lawyer has informed us that we need a warning. So, if you are under the age of 18 or find this offensive, please leave immediately", which is a takeoff on the text on the front page of Goatse. On two of the Last Measure pages, the text "Like what you see? Got a complaint? Email wrt AT forpresident DOT com", is visible.

The page at Zeikfried had the title "This is my LastMeasure, my FinalHope. Lovez and kissez from Zeikfried~!" The page at peoplesprimary.com had a wide, blank image at the bottom of the screen. Below it were the words "If you have a screen larger than this i'll eat my own shit. - this button shit is +1 insightful." The "+1 insightful" comment indicates a familiarity with the rating system at Slashdot, a popular technology news site.

Pressing Ctrl or Alt, under Internet Explorer on Windows, gives the "victim" an alert message with the same text. Pressing Del gives the user the "Credits".

The Last Measure site also has a script that automates the displaying of these things, which has recently been removed from the front page of the original domain.

Other Last Measure Projects

  • LMOS – The Last Measure Operating System, based on the Linux bootsector, and written in Intel x86 assembly; subsequently, it should work on any Intel-compatible x86 computer. The assembly core is small enough for it to fit onto a standard floppy disk. It boots up the computer and loops the "HEY EVERYBODY, I'M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO!" sound sample, while automatically displaying the images described above.

WARNING! These sites attempt to cause an incredible amount of undesired scripts to run; see text.
