Over the course of the GOP primary, observers have seen a lot of sides to Rick Santorum, many of them shocking to even those accustomed to his views on gays, women and religion. But nothing has been as distinctly memorable as the one making the Twitter rounds today: a composite image of the anti-gay candidate created entirely out of gay porn — hundreds of penises, muscular torsos and close-ups of anal sex. There are even tiny people having tiny intercourse in the middle of Rick Santorum’s eyeballs.

Where does it come from? As it turns out, it wasn’t even created by a gay person. A straight couple, Stephen and Vanessa, sent the image to the gay blog Unicorn Booty out of the goodness of their heart. Kevin Farrell, an editor at the site, tells Salon that the couple has “been getting a real kick out of the image garnering so much attention.”
