2 Girls 1 Cup Too Much For Clooney

clooney.pngI’m fairly certain Cary Grant was never asked by an interviewer to watch internet scat porn so that his word-for-word reaction could be printed in a major magazine, but poor George Clooney lives in a different time. Presumably because there’s very little new to say about Clooney––he’s good looking! He’s liberal! He’s an Oscar winner prone to making casually derogatory gay jokes about Brad Pitt!!!––and yet, as there’s endless demand for his silver foxiness on magazine covers, Esquire’s AJ Jacobs spent a day with the actor. Surfing the internet.

Towards the end of their session, after Clooney confessed to a certain affection for a YouTube clip called “Monkey Smells Butt,” Jacobs decided it was time to move on to the harder stuff: the poo and puke internet porn sensation of late 2007, 2 Girls 1 Cup. The clip, which spawned a wave of reaction videos last fall, sent the one-time Batman running from the room in disgust. If only Jacobs had whipped out a video camera ala Joel Stein––not only would there be something simply cool about the idea of Everyone’s Favorite Movie Star participating in an online video meme, but I’m sure the document of Clooney’s squeamishness would have been a page view bonanza for the magazine. Alas. Excerpt from the Esquire story after the jump [Via Indie Eye].

At this point, I make a segue that seemed relevant at the time but in retrospect was probably a very bad idea. “You know,” I tell him, “I asked the guy who does the Esquire Website what I should show George Clooney, and he said, ‘Show him 2 Girls 1 Cup.’ ”

“What’s that?”

“It’s the most disturbing video in the history of videos.”

“Show it to me.”

“Really? I don’t know.”

“I can take it,” Clooney says. “I’m a grown-up. We’re all grown-ups.”

“It’s scarring. It’ll scar you forever.”

“Is it long?” he asks.

“No,” I tell him, “but it’s so disturbing. I saw it once and can never get it out of my mind. I can’t watch it again.”

“I want to see it.”

Well, he asked. After a bit of searching, I find the link. I click it.

After several seconds: “It’s not so bad,” he says.

Three seconds later: “Oh.”

Another two seconds: “Oh, my GOD! Oh, my God!! Oh, my God!”

Clooney puts his hand over his mouth like he’s going to throw up. He bolts from his chair and walks out of the room.

    Just when I’ve finally managed to cleanse 2G1C from my memory banks…

    I barely raised an eyebrow at 2girls1cup, but the pain olympics video (even knowing it’s fake) still makes me squirm.

    You people are pussies, 2 girls 1 cup is weak as hell. I watched right after dinner, and I didn’t even flinch. There’s way worse stuff on the internet…that was nothing.

    That is the worst thing I’ve seen so far.

    BME and 2G1C is tame compared to this.
    I know it’s not the same, but I get really queasy on the subject.

    MFX 1209 is just one of dozens if not hundreds of similar video shot in Brazil by MFX films. Actually 2 girls 1 cup is pretty standard and MFX has made vids much, much grosser than this one.

    Clooney needs to check out (2 girls 1 fetus) at the Urban Dictionary.
    Poor George a scat player himself trying to make like he doesn’t hang with scat sex - come on Clooney tell everybody the real truth. Captain George C. Pooper even posted some seriously hot scat pics of himself on the Internet unfortunately his face was covered with you know what all over it - sweet.

    Posting vulgar and insulting nonsense on the Internet is a reflection of having given up your fellow man. It also represents an unpleasent form of competition against authority, otherwise a form of subterfuge against established norms of commonly accepted morality. The primary key that best empowers progressive change in relation to people and governmnet alike is honesty a reciprocal of truth.
    Vulgar and insulting material on the Internet is a direct reflection of poorly thought out dishonest governmnet - I mean come on now, if government was honest and moral wouldn’t it then stand to good reasoning that a whole lot more people would begin doing the very same thing? (Sure they would) - and that’s the very message I’m trying to get across. Lets do ourselves a big favor and not put up with dishonest government anymore - then the garbage on the Internet will start to disappear - make sense to you?

  • Subterrainain Vampire said

    Wat up (halilou adaka) - Eu should watch (2 girls 1 CUP) again - not me because I’ve watched the vid at least one thousand times already.

  • Anon said

    Just watched the video. I lasted maybe 15 seconds (looking away half the time) then had to get out of there. The part where she’s chewing it like gum is what killed me.

  • Jack said

    It was fake. I knew it the second someone told me about it.
