''' | {{Quote|A famous website referenced in popular culture on TV and by celebrities|Lemonparty.org}} | ||
'''Lemon Party''' (domain: '''lemonparty.org''') is a [[shock site]] that leads to an image, entitled "lemonparty.jpg" of two elderly men on a bed kissing each other, with another sucking on the penis of the one lying on the bed performing oral sex. It is commonly used as a bait-and-switch link by trolls in discussion forums and imageboard communities. This is one of the [[PenisBird|earliest]] [[Goatse|shock]] [[Tubgirl|sites]] that only shows a single image. | |||
The site was possibly intended to lead people to believe it was about the [[wikipedia:Lemon Party|Lemon Party of Canada]], a Canadian political party from which the name was supposedly derived. This site was originally hosted by Eric Johnson,<ref name="Interview" /> but was later passed on to other sellers who bought the domain. The Lemon Party (Parti Citron in French) was a satirical Canadian political party founded in 1987 and active until the mid-2000s, which advocated making Canada the world's lemon-growing capital. To do this, the party ironically embraced global warming and agitated for policies such as the abolition of the city of Toronto and the merging of the Great Lakes.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20071018033129/https://www.cbc.ca/canadavotes2004/analysiscommentary/columns/danbrown190604.html</ref> It is unknown whether the Lemon Party and lemonparty.org are connected. | |||

However, this link was removed shortly, on an unknown date. In 2003, the site just showed an image in the center of the page without the watermark and the link. Beginning in the late 2000s, the shock site was mentioned in several TV sitcom and talk show programs. including a comedy sketch on FOX late night program Talk Show with Spike Feresten, an episode of the radio show Opie and Anthony, an episode of E! TV show Chelsea Lately and NBC sitcom 30 Rock's Season 2, Episode 9 "Ludachristmas" and Season 4, Episode 18 "Khonani," as well as in animated TV series like Archer, The Simpsons, The Cleveland Show and American Dad. | |||
Edited versions of the image, including one of a man named Keith Boadwee squirting blue paint from his anus, began to appear on the site by the 2010s. On December 27, 2013, [[wikipedia:Buzzfeed|Buzzfeed]] reporter Joseph Bernstein interviewed the original owner of the domain, Eric Johnson.
