CLOONEY'S CUP RUNNETH OVER 

I had a business meeting last week in which there was an honest discussion about whether the "Two Girls, One Cup" phenomenon was played out or not. I'll say no more. Apparently, though, it has not, as the internet meme has crossed over into the old-media world of Esquire magazine.

Karina Longworth reports over at SpoutBlog:

I’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, there’s endless demand for his silver foxiness on magazine covers, Esquire’s AJ Jacobs spent a day with the actor. Surfing the internet.


She goes on to write about Clooney's reaction and notes that he is part of a long line of viewers who have reacted violently to the noxious clip... although Esquire, apparently, did not have the foresight to catch Clooney on webcam.

I just want to say, I think this post is in very bad taste. This is supposed to be a family magazine!

obviously it's in bad taste. It's people puking semi digested feces into each others mouths.

I for one am glad this blog talks about this issue. I showed it to my girlfriend and she dry heaved and screamed, it was a riot.
