Do Not Watch This
If you haven't seen the popular viral video "2 Girls, 1 Cup" spreading on the Internet like wildfire, consider yourself lucky. I won't include a link to the video, or even describe it.
However, if you are curious, rather than watch the video, you can watch people's reactions to watching the video instead.
