BME Pain Olympics

Most people have heard of the viral interweb video commonly known as 2 Girls 1 Cup. Many people have even watched this video. Some were disgusted, some were destroyed and some simply enjoyed it. This is old news. Perhaps what I am about to tell you is also "old news". I don't know and this is not my concern. Last night, after reading an article my compadre the Lonely Hero passed along, I decided to do some research on the topic of Dimethyltryptamine. According to Joe Rogan, DMT is one helluva substance. Great. Excellent. Good for him. It was interesting for about 2 minutes but mind altering drugs aren't really my thing. I'm not Joe's biggest fan and, to be honest, he seems like the sort guy that I wouldn't work well with (although, I do love his work on FF), but I digress. As I mentioned, this DMT really isn't that important to me. It was merely a step along the path to finding, what I now believe to be the heinous video I've ever seen, the BME Pain Olymics FINAL ROUND (please note: I am not posting a link to this video and I do not recommend you search for it either. I do not take responsibility for emotional damage or psycological treatment if said search is taken).

After watching/listening to Joe's ramblings on 5-MeO-DMT, 4-HO-DMT and how we are all just "bacteria", I noticed a link to his reaction of the 2G1C (or TGOC) video. I remember enjoying these videos somewhat and after listening to Joe's ramblings I thought I could use some mindless, grotesque humor. I had no idea what I was getting into...

At the end this clip Joe insists that his friend, Brian, watch the PAIN Olympics. I thought, "what could be worse than poop and vomit and some tongue kissing?" so I started my search. It didn't take long. I watched it. Alone (which I also don't recommend). I will be brief with my description of what takes place because I feel my personal reaction is what I really want to get at. The video consists of 1 or 2 men performing acts of self mutilation which, from what I can tell, go far beyond repair (post-viewing I researched and found that the consensus feels this is all fabricated; I hope this is true). I felt sick. I gagged. I wanted to look away, but I couldn't. I dry heaved. I thought I would never be the same. I was puzzled with questions about why someone would do this to them self, what had brought me to a world that would allow this, how could anyone explain this to another human being. Then realized it was just a video. I have come accept that what I saw was fake. It has to be. Otherwise nothing is real. (It still makes me gag)


Something to clear your mind, or perhaps just mine.
