2 Girls 1 Cup

No, before you say it, I'm NOT reviewing this movie...

You know what it is, and if you don't - trust me you don't want to know what it is. So if you want to continue to not know, just cover your eyes for a few seconds and go, "Lalalalalalalala," okay?

"2 Girls 1 Cup" is a pornographic, and I do mean graphic, video clip that has been virally circulating the internet for almost a year now. About two to three minutes long it features themes like lesbianism (which by itself is not a bad thing), copraphagia and emetophilia to name a few. I myself watched it a total of twice. Once just because, and a second time to make sure it was real. I'm still not sure. Either way it made me gag. And having worked in a video store for several years that carried a wide selection of adult movies I had seen some things approaching this gross-out level, but never this bad.

But the video clip itself is not the point of this entry, the YouTube phenomenon that followed is. "2 Girls 1 Cup" can't be shown on YouTube -even though it's the first place many of the uninitiated looked for it- but something else popped up there related to it.

Folks were getting other people to sit in front of a computer and watch the clip while they filmed the unknowing victim's reaction. These reaction clips number in the hundreds and it's what you'll find if you search on YouTube. The first time you watch one, you're mildly amused, but after that it's all the same. And yet, even a year later I still get emails saying, "You have to check this out." Sorry, I don't get the fascination, please stop.

Of course as with anything, sometimes there's a diamond in the rough. One reaction video features Kermit the Frog, and is as hilarious as it is wrong and just as disturbing as the "2 Girls 1 Cup" clip.

Just wait, give it a year or two, but I'm sure there will be a Hollywood-ized behind the scenes version of the "2 Girls 1 Cup" phenomenon. Maybe I'll review that.

And um, no, there are no visual aids included in this blog entry.
