Though now it's long buried in internet folklore graveyard, there once was a popular shock image (and an associated website) called "goatse". (If you never heard of it, you better NOT google it).

For awhile, people had been spotting goatse in several logos.

Better question is why was the goatse guy wearing a wedding ring.

Hmm. I gotta say I do see these though. Especially Claude...

Good news! Cornholio.ai isn't registered by anyone as a domain name, so someone with sufficient motivation and a love for Beavis and Butthead could totally instruct an LLM to make a satirical AI-butthole-logo themed website.

Bonus points if it has affiliate links to Amazon or other online stores selling TP (for the bunghole, of course).

> There are also examples of US people being offended by scenes considered harmless in other cultures

I’m not going to be able to find this, but I remember some piece of news having to do with a woman and a photograph of her with naked breasts.

Someone found examples of how it had been reported in the US and a European country. Both used the same picture and only censored one area: the face in the European country, the breasts in the US.

I refuse to believe that at this point the AI companies are not doing that deliberately.

You can just as well say the logos look like flowers, suns, plasma balls, retinas. If you choose to only see anuses on all of them, that's really on you.

squints not sure if a joke or not….
