Lesson plan
Ogrish.com
Ogrish.com was a shock site that presented uncensored news coverage and multimedia material based for the most part on war and war crimes, industrial/machinery accidents, and executions. Much of the material depicted was graphic, uncensored, gory videos and images. The content was depicted as a means to challenge the viewer, with its catch line being "can you handle life?", but later changed to "uncover reality" after the site received a major design overhaul with aims of becoming more open to the general public and become a respected "alternative news service". From November 2006 to May 2021, Ogrish.com redirected to LiveLeak, which was registered in October 2006. LiveLeak featured mostly user submitted videos and allowed the embedding of media on other sites. LiveLeak became ItemFix in May 2021, which Ogrish.com now redirects to.
