Goregrish.com and most other similar shock websites exist on the premise the general public should have full access to multimedia that mainstream media organizations would never publish. The vast majority of video and images presented on Goregrish contain extreme graphic violence, some being arguably classed as snuff movies, with videos such as the Dnepropetrovsk maniacs and Luka Magnotta criminal acts of murder being freely available to view there.
History
The site is believed to be an offshoot of the now-defunct Uncoverreality.com shock website, which itself was an offshoot of the defunct ogrish.com shock website (now called liveLeak.com), with many former members of both websites presently residing on the goregrish message boards. Goregrish began in June 2008 under another name, pwnographic.net[2] until it changed its name and domain to Goregrish.com in 2010. Since the Luka Magnotta murder case and the widespread mainstream media attention it received, goregrish.com and similar themed websites have achieved a new level of notoriety on the internet, with the staff behind the goregrish message board being the subject of various interviews with media over the debate surrounding the morals of allowing this material to be shown online.[3]
Goregrish.com is currently banned from Google.de search results in Germany by order of the Bundestag.[4]
Ngatikaura Ngati autopsy images
Controversy arose when the autopsy images of Ngatikaura Ngati appeared on goregrish.com and bestgore.com, which some have characterized as pornographic.[5] Current New Zealand Children’s Commissioner Dr. Russell Wills said he was "appalled" at their use.[6]

Ngatikaura Ngati died after horrific abuse by his parents. Children's advocates are appalled that pictures of a young Auckland boy killed by his parents were posted on a pornographic site featuring beheadings, impalement and necrophilia.
