A Unicorn chaser is a concept launched by the webzine Boing Boing as an antidote to websites containing gross or shock images. The antidote contains a picture of a unicorn and was launched first in August 2003 as a reply to a picture of a rash that editor Mark Frauenfelder posted in an attempt to get readers to diagnose it for him. The text posted with the image came with the title And now, we pause for a Unicorn Moment. Recently it was also used as an antidote for pictures of a brain tumor, and a man who pumped up the skin of his face with saline solution.
