*WARNING: This article contains explicit images of Kim Kardashian's bare bottom*

Kim Kardashian put her famous derriere on the cover of a US magazine and got exactly the online reaction she wanted.

Within hours of posting the image of her oiled-up, Photoshop-enhanced behind, the internet went to town on creating their own versions, from centaurs to docking stations.

Kim may have wanted to "break the internet" but it seems she united the online world in finding the most comical way of parodying the lewd cover.

Kim Kardashian looks so much like a centaur in Paper Magazine, I figured I'd take it one step further. pic.twitter.com/Sh70yV43gE

— Kelkulus (@kelkulus) November 12, 2014

Twitter user @KelKulus was reminded of a mythical creature when he saw the Paper magazine image, tweeting his own version with the caption: "Kim Kardashian looks so much like a centaur in Paper Magazine, I figured I'd take it one step further."

Kim's rear becomes the rump of a horse, turning the reality star into a centaur, who certainly wouldn't have been booted out of the Forbidden Forest.

The wife of Kanye West was then given the capital treatment by @AngryBritain, who joked that the Barclays Cycle Hire Docking Stations have been given a bootylicious makeover.

"@MayorOfLondon unveils new style Boris Bike rack coming to the streets of the capital soon," the parody tweeter posted with an image of Boris Johnson parking his bike between Kim's cheeks.

@GeneralBoles killed two celebrity birds with one stone by photoshopping Russell Brand's face onto Kim's derriere with a speech bubble exclaiming "PARKLIFE!"

There goes the day #BreakTheInternet pic.twitter.com/5usd0ZG783

Food items has also been another way to describe Kim's glistening rear; from peaches and potatoes to glazed donuts the internet went to the market on comparisons.

"Krispy Kim" proved to be an apt nickname for the reality star, and her rear was even replaced with two pieces of Aero chocolate.

Pippa Middleton wearing that bridesmaid dress at her sister's Royal Wedding was also used as a comparision, though really the Brits behind didn't really 'do it better' than Kim.

Another tweeter highlighted the mother-of-one's gravitational pull by surrounding her derriere with asteroids.

The user also gave Kim a surrealist makeover by Photoshopping her bottom onto her face for quadruple the cheeky impact.

One user even compared the image of Kim to that of a Barbie doll, as @SarahKhalegh pointed out: "Kim Kardashian literally looks like a plastic &unrealistic Barbie doll. Look at her waist in comparison to her body."

It does seem the magazine have done their best to Photoshop the reality star's waist to oblivion and make a behind look bigger than James's Giant Peach.

Just under a fortnight ago, Kim stepped out looking far curvier as she joined her husband Kanye at the 2014 LACMA Art + Film Gala honouring Quentin Tarantino and Barbara Kruger.

Of course the rapper, who only follows Kim on Twitter, tweeted his approval of the cover with the simple hashtag #ALLDAY.

However Kim didn't get exactly what she wanted... the internet seems to be working perfectly fine.
