In doing research for my post about George Clooney watching the 2 girls 1 cup video (if you really need to know about it, read the Wikipedia article), I found an interesting phenomenon on youTube: sons forcing their mothers to watch this mind altering video. There’s a whole bunch of videos of sons taping their mother’s reaction to watching the video (here’s one, two, three, four), which seems very passive aggressive to me. If you love your mom, why would you show her such a horrible thing? I’m guessing that Freud would have some interesting things to say about sons making their mothers watch 2 girls 1 cup.
I think one of my favorite reactions comes from this French grandmother (!), who appears to be around 90 years old; she acts like “been there, done that . . .”
