Wired referred to Stileproject.com as a "shock site" in a 2001 article. The website assembled "vast visual libraries of any taboo or depravity that could be digitized." In the early 2000s, as "the Web's leading repository of crude filth – probably the most reliable source of tastelessness in the history of the Internet," its content was criticized for its shock value. Particularly, a video showing a Korean man killing, cooking, and eating a kitten was highly publicized and denounced by PETA, who sought a Federal investigation, which did not occur.
Open-source software and porn were "memorialized in J. Stile's hoard of erotic Linux Slut images". As the site evolved, surviving purported webhost troubles, a major hacking incident and by 2004 purportedly " grossing out teenagers anymore," the Stile Project's content grew increasingly pornographic.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“He that wants money, means, and content is without three
good friends.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Let us have a fair field! This is all we ask, and we will be content with nothing less. The finger of evolution, which touches everything, is laid tenderly upon women. They have on their side all the elements of progress, and its spirit stirs within them. They are fighting, not for themselves alone, but for the future of humanity. Let them have a fair field!”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
“In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
