Something You've Seen That You Wish You Could Un-See

Given the sheer volume of truly upsetting or down-right disgusting videos strewn about the length and breadth of the internet, the chance of stumbling upon something that really sickens or disturbs is all too high. Recently, when reasearcing recent propaganda films, I came across a short video (I'll not say from where or for what cause) that had at its core a montage of war atrocity footage. Certain sections of that film have haunted me ever since, and I do wish I could un-see the lot of it.
It used to be that folks had to actively - and usually at quite the expense - seek out such material. Now, one stumbles upon it either by accident, or after the briefest periods of time spent clicking through this or the other news site.
So, the discussion is - have you had similar experiences? Are there things you've encountered that you just wish you had not? I'd imagine there are quite a few of us in the same boat at this point.

I wouldn't mind being able to un-see 2 girls, 1 cup - that was beyond disgusting. A friend of ours also had a video of a bald guy shoving his entire head up a girls' woohoo. That was also something I could've done without. The internet is a great tool for learning and interacting, but it's also home to some sick, sick sh*t!

there's a whole thing of videos & photos not showing 2girls1cup but suposedly showing the shocked reactions of people watching it for the first time.

When the killer picked up the head of the person that was beheaded. I don't want to repeat the name of the innocent person but I would rather have not seen that. I can't believe the period of time we live in. It seems people who don't believe in the same things others do are going backwards in time and are more barbaric than ever instead of having the desire to co-exist with whoever thinks differently then they do. I feel sickened by this and feel like weeping, I can't imagine how the family of the victim(s) feel. This is really a deep and heavy first discussion topic for your first in MyLot. But anyway, hope you have good luck on MyLot. Take care.
