2 Girls, 1 Cup
The original 2 Girls, 1 Cup is a video of two girls performing coprophagia (the consumption of feces). The video is widely acknowledged as one of the grossest videos in the history of YouTube videos. When confronted with the video, George Clooney compared it to a rodeo, "See how long you can last."http://www.esquire.com/features/george-clooney-2-girls-1-cup-0408-3
The video was created professionally, and features in a fetish video called Hungry Bitches, a video originally released in Brazil, by MFX-Video. Company founder Marco Fiorito claims that some of the company's footage that seems to show excrement is actually filmed using chocolate.
