Bill Cosby invited the public to turn pictures of him into Internet memes using a generator on his website. The results were brutal.

The generator facilitates putting words onto the images he's offering and users can then share the results. But the generator has since been removed from the site without explanation, along with erased social media mentions of it from Cosby's personal account.

Initial reaction to the idea – which was sent out Monday afternoon to the legendary comic's nearly 4 million Twitter followers – seemed to be confusion, as well as dread over what might result, given the allegations of sexual assault by a number of women that have plagued the 77-year-old in recent years.

Cosby has been accused of targeting, grooming, drugging and raping girls as early as the 1970s and as recently as 2004. Since 2002, 13 women have come forward to make abuse claims against Cosby.
