Good news! Put a fork in it, the writers' strike is over!
Our favorite tv shows will soon be returning. No longer must we turn to lesser quality outlets for our entertainment. Namely, the black hole that is the internet. You're probably saying, "How can she knock the internet? She is writing a blog, isn't she?" And you're right, nameless internet user. I enjoy using the internet and I love to communicate with people all over the world. But let's face it. We don't always surf the web with such noble intentions.

Case in point: the shock site.
Specifically: 2girls1cup.

You know you've seen it.
A video so revolting that our generation of unshakable and seen-it-all teenagers are losing their lunch at the mere mention of it. A video almost too vile that even a vague description here might cause you to run screaming out of the room.

For the uninitiated, let's just say that after you watch it, you'll never be able to eat chocolate ice cream again.

What's most amazing about the video is not that it's spawned two sequels (4girlsfingerpaint and 1girl1pitcher) or that other sickos have released their own videos (don't even get me started on BME Pain Olympics). It's the onslaught of reaction videos on YouTube which have proven that even the disgusting can be hilarious.

This shouldn't be news, though. Toilet humor has been around forever and you'd be hard pressed to find a kid who doesn't laugh at the sound of a fart.

But what does our sick obsession with the strange and weird really mean? Why do we forward these kinds of things to all our friends? Are we that masochistic that torturing ourselves is not enough? We must inflict mental harm on our friends as well?

Whatever the case may be, next time you open your email and see "Check this gross video out!" in the subject line, delete it right away. Or, if you're adventurous, watch it and make your own reaction video. YouTube users are waiting.
