Since 1996, Rotten.com has provided viewers with a collection of weird, controversial, and somewhat grotesque images. Each month, the website features galleries of men, women, children, and animals who have lost their lives in dangerous situations or have been seriously injured. The images presented often provide detailed descriptions and several slides of how the incidents occurred.
Not only are images of the deceased commonly seen on Rotten.com, but images of animals engaging in various sexual acts, gruesome automobile accidents, and humorous photos of celebrities and non-celebrities can be found as well.
The website distinguishes each gallery by placing them into categories or self-titling the most recent images. For example, an image found in the “Rotten Now” gallery is entitled “Hooker in the Morgue” and reveals photos of a prostitute’s corpse from the 1940s. Several parts of the woman’s body are covered in tattoos of sexually explicit positions.
“Suzuki,” another recent image, is that of a woman driving through what looks like a large puddle of water, but instead ends up being a sink hole full of water. Perhaps the most disturbing image in the “Rotten Now” section shows what would happen to human skin if left in boiling water over a long period of time.
Rotten.com also has permanent galleries such as “Celebrity Morgue,” which feature images of Edgar Allen Poe, Tiny Tim, and other murdered celebrities like Sharon Tate and Tupac Shakur. The “Viva Fidel!” gallery provides tattooed portraits of the Cuban dictator on a certain “area” of a woman’s body.
Other headings, such as “Animal Wrongness” and “Stinky Monkey Page” contain galleries that show animals in compromising situations and positions. The “Famous” and “Mugshots” galleries show celebrities at their worst.
The website does offer more permanent galleries, recent images, and other interesting tidbits for viewers that have not been previously mentioned. If anyone is interested in the bizarre or are just plain curious, then you might want to check out this website.
