How to Go Viral (2G1C)
It’s very difficult for an online video to go viral these days. Here are two ways of doing so:
- Deploy various conscious strategies (as explained here: The Secret Strategies Behind Many ‘Viral’ Videos)
- Create a video so horrible, disgusting, and unwatchable, that it’s a genuine watercooler moment (as can be seen here: Two Girls One Cup – click at your own peril).
I’m quite intrigued by the former, but even more by the latter. I’m actually pretty unshockable so I’m going to watch it some time this week, and see what happens to me.
Actually, I should watch it while filming myself doing so, then uploading it to youtube. This is the current ‘craze’ and, as an online specialist, I like participating in shit like that (excuse the pun 
)
that video is weird. Weird that anyone would think it up and weird that anyone would act it out. Weird also that the girls seem to have no reflexive aversion to the act – which suggests they’re either insane or high on something.
I still haven’t watched it, but I imagine they would have been high, maybe on cocaine or MDMA (= loving everything, even shit!)
i’d really advise you not to watch it. It doesn’t tell you anything you don’t already know, you just feel depressed about the human race; and if you’re like me, you start praying for the end of the world to hurry up.
actually I watched it tonight, and I don’t think it’s real. They’ve just blasted some chocolate ice cream up her backside and it’s squirting out again.
I watched it twice and I’m pretty sure. It’s not as shocking as I thought it was. Plus, the whole story they make up about it on the page (background story to the film) – it’s just discursive and intended to make you think along the scat-lines.
