bestgore.com (stylized as BestGore.com and abbreviated BG)[2] was a Canadian shock site active from 2008 to 2020 and owned by Mark Marek,[3] which provided highly violent real-life news, photos and videos, with authored opinion and user comments.
The site was launched on April 30, 2008, by Slovak-Canadian Mark Marek,[4] and hosted explicit, real-life, photographic and video material of events such as murders, suicides, torture, open surgeries, mutilations, traffic collisions, leaked government documents, live assassinations, CIA and FBI files.
In a 2017 interview with GQ Australia, Mark Marek insisted that running BestGore.com costs more than it generates in revenue and said, "No company with a reasonable budget would want to advertise on a website that exposes police brutality, government abuse of citizens, war profiteering and similar anti-people activities.
"[8] Marek claimed that he would receive positive testimonies from readers and that viewing the website's content had sometimes convinced people to avoid taking risks in their everyday life including speeding, darting between traffic on motorcycle, horseplay with forklifts, and even persuaded some not to commit suicide.
Or more recently, when the whole world was revving about Muslims being slaughtered by Buddhists in Burma (Myanmar)[20]—the propaganda fooled everyone, except us on Best Gore because we recognized the lynching video from Kenya,[21] the earthquake in Tibet and the tsunami disaster in Thailand which had been used in unrelated context.
