So today Josh, Andy and I decided to be brave and watch the Pain Olympics video. Of course, us being the narcissistic freaks that we are, we videoed ourselves watching the video. How very postmodern and self reflexive! And now, you can experience our experiences by pressing “Play” below. Don’t worry, it’s not the ACTUAL video - I wouldn’t force that upon anybody. Well, except my house mates. Who have already been forced.
Now, I must admit I wasn’t expecting the clip to be that disturbing - as you probably guessed from my calling Andy a “wimp” right at the start. But oh my god - surprisingly the sight of somebody castrating themselves was pretty damned disgusting - even though I don’t have a penis of my own to shield protectively, I was still grossed out beyond belief. I think it may have had something to do with the .. erm .. “things” that came out when the testes were forcibly removed from the body.
Then, in yet another stab at procrastination, I got Josh to watch the “2 Girls 1Cup” video, which I’ve heard all about but never actually seen. I only managed to get through this one by telling myself over and over again “It’s okay Serena, it’s just chocolate ice-cream”. But then the vomit thing happened and all my illusions were lost.
You’ve got to ask yourself though, what sort of person DOES these sorts of things? I just can’t fathom the motivation - I can sort of understand the Jackass-type stunts, but when things go to this extreme .. What’s in it for them? I know I personally wouldn’t chop off my penis (okay, don’t have one, but still) or eat another girl’s bodily secretions just for cash. And I can’t imagine that the internet fame that one would get from this sort thing is the sort of internet fame that starts you on the trail to your dream profession …
Now, I suppose the most important thing out of all of this is: Should I be worried about my dear and darling boyfriend Josh’s lack of reaction to this? Or is he just so darned manly that watching another man chop his own balls off doesn’t really faze him that much? Or perhaps he went and cried in the shower afterwards - cupping himself as he hysterically mumbled “Oh god, not the family jewels!”
