• Gawker Does A Primer on Internet Grossouts. 'Cause That Makes Sense.

  Huh. Apparently part of the new world order over at Camp Denton's flagship site, Gawker, is to assume that its readers have just discovered this magical new thing called "El Interweb" and therefore need a rundown of the legendary grossout perv memes like Two Girls One Cup, tubgirl, and goatse. Which maybe they do, but... no, actually, we're pretty sure they don't. Don't get us wrong: we love that someone put together a one-stop shop for historic internet nastiness, if only for posterity, but isn't Gawker's doing that the same thing as, like, Page Six taking a moment to describe what a nightclub is? As in: it says more about what they've forgotten about their readers than what their readers ever needed to learn. But hey, maybe we missed something and Marco Fiorito just moved to NYC, therefore putting it all squarely under the Gawker portfolio... Oh, wait a sec. We think Gawker have removed anything referring specifically to NYC from their header, which we're pretty sure used to refer to "New York media" or something and now reads simply: "Media gossip and pop culture round the clock." Oh good, 'cause there's no where else to get that. Whatever. We're just happy we were able to use that 2G1C illo again. We worked on that for, like, 6 hours.

• "Two Girls, One Cup" Auteur Identified -- Just In Time For Oscar Season!!!

  For all y'all kids who put yourself through the unforgiving retinal and psychic violation that is "Two Girls, One Cup" and then cried yourself to sleep every night afterwards asking who in God's name you should hold responsible besides yourself, the mystery has been solved. Marco Fiorito, this is your life! The 36-year-old Sao Paulo resident became interested in cinema in 1994 and, two years later, began a fetish film business with his wife. "When we started, the only films that we made were about feet fetishes," Firotio recalled in a court declaration, a copy of which you'll find below. Fiorito would move on to more revolting fare, with his videos often involving excrement (as the "2 Girls, 1 Cup" video shows). That film was produced by MFX-Video, one of several Fiorito companies that included his initials in their name (an exception, of course, was the firm Vomit Brazil). We don't know what we like more: that any company was ever called "Vomit Brazil," or that The Smoking Gun seems to think that "2G1C" is cinema. Whatever the case, let's please not anyone else actually go watch the thing. (But if you have, let us know what you thought!)
