This is what they (Bush) don't want you to see (not for the squeamish)

The links below are to pics are NSFW (not safe for work). They show the bodies of people who perished due to the hurricane and it flooding/chaos that followed. A few links are provided here due to the fact that DU is traffic heavy ATM. If you don't get angry after looking at these, then none of us can help you.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I didn't say this earlier. This site is ogrish.com. Chances are your company/school/university has this site blocked if you are running on a corporate network. Please don't click on this link if you are unsure if you are allowed to be viewing this stuff. I don't want any of you guys to get into trouble. Sorry for not noting that earlier. This site is by "sickies"/for "sickies" but at least they don't censor their images. The truth is sometimes sickening.

4. Pelosi, Durbin and Reid need copies

They need to show exactly what this adminstration's screw ups led to. They need to tell america "Blame Game? The WHITE HOUSE DARES call this a game? This is no game, this is a direct result of this administration's policies on a whole range of issues. Mr. McClellan, this is no GAME. This is life and death."

5. ogrish.com is an underrated resource

and a wonderful humanity test... sometimes i go there just to make sure these things still make me shudder.

And they do.

6. ???? How did that site know my home town? Banner ad read:

"Find sexy singles in (my town)." And my town is not one you'd ID with a lucky guess.

:wtf:

11. cookies

you must have a cookie on your machine with your location on it. It could have picked it up when you got driving directions, or put your zip into a shopping site for shipping, etc.

You would be horrified to know that online advertising companies have a "file" on every single one of us with lists of sites we visited and tons of personal information.

Nothing online is truly private. Nothing.

[neoteric lefty]

13. its not even cookies

they can tell by your IP address. Your IP address is much like your phone number. Each set of digits signifies where ou are on the "Internet" (more accurately, who your ISP is) much like the area code signifies what area you are in. Chances are they are not reading it off any cookies or other files. Don't be scared because it is info that has to be given out in order to use the web. The server needs to know where to send the files when your computer asks for it.

15. Yoiks. Thanks, MizMoon and Neoteric. I didn't think of any of those...

... possibilities as "info leaks."

Thanks for the words of reassurance -- I needed that after seeing my hometown info displayed on that site! A real "yikes!" moment. :D

[neoteric lefty]

17. yeah, I remember a few years ago getting

the same thing and it freaked me out as well. Internet can be a scary place :).

[Mutley]

14. I don't now what state you're in, there's a town by that name near me.

:wtf:

[mattomjoe]

7. Sorry but that site is too Faces of Death-ish for me

Given the other links on the site, it makes me wonder if they aren't offering up those images for some sick fetish value

[Mizmoon]

9. There is no doubt that it's meant for sickies

That site is by sickies for sickies.

[neoteric lefty]

19. Well, I don't know the motives of this site

but they do show images that won't be shown by any "mass" media. Their motives, however, are not the point. The pictures are the point. Life is delicate yet so important, and these images of Katrina victims remind me that. Many of these people died because our country and its leaders turned a blind eye to a very serious and very real problem until it was much too late.

8. are there NON ogrish sites for this?

Ogrish is blocked by every corporate content firewall I have ever run in to...

sP

[freemen2005]

10. And the dont want media to take pictures

ITS BEEN A WEEK AND THEY'RE STILL IN THE SAME SPOTS THEY WERE LAST WEEK.

()*(^@#)(*^%*@#%

[BlueJac]

12. A little over the top....

but real!

[maxpower]

16. Words escape me

How can this happen in America. How many dead americans will it take to wake the sheeple up. I am speechless. Impeach the bastard now.

[CatBoreal]

18. I made myself look at each and every photo...

..so that the people who died wouldn't be forgotten.

God Damn! :cry:

[TankLV]

20. I did too. I want to NEVER forget what happened.

I want to NURTURE my anger and BUILD the anger into a giant force.

I would suggest others do the same.
