Even the name of the website, [tubearoo.com](http://tubearoo.com), is vaguely quease-inducing now.

Do you guys want to know how much of a masochist I am?

Too bad, because I’m telling you anyways.

After trying on and off for the past day to see the dang video and still getting timeouts on the original link, I went and Googled for “spider bite video” so I could find the thing on a different site. Yep, that’s right. I took a proactive role in my ongoing desensitization to disgusting and squickworthy things.

Oh dear Og. Why did I have to go and do that?

It loaded.

:: shudder ::

Well, actually, it wasn’t that bad. It must have been something of a relief to have the pressure gone.

I’m just glad it wasn’t smell-o-vision.

Cheech and Chong had a routine on one of their records about zits.

> Hey there, groovy guys/ Got a big date tonight but have a zit in the middle of your forehead? I’m talking about the big juicy kind, you know? The kind that looks like a third eye? Well, if they’ve been calling you ‘Cyclops’ don’t get uptight! Now there’s new Hickey-Off Pimple Pads from Brillo. Hey! Hickey-Off not only gets rid of those zits, it rips them out by the roots! And for those big Moon-sized craters you’re gonna have in your head, there’s Hickey-Off Plastic Filler. Comes complete with a putty knife and sandpaper and flesh-tone paint for all the rough spots…

You must be referring to this: [Disgusting back drainage](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH3xYYKlIWQ&feature=related)

That was part of a series of videos a doctor visiting in Africa posted on YT. It seems like some of them are gone now, but I did find these companion videos:

[Draining a child’s leg](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_uSA_RLM9A&feature=related) (Thank god they turned off the sound so you don’t hear the horrifying screaming of this poor kid in the original video)

[Adult leg drainage](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD9IRy8I0ns&feature=related) [and here’s Part 2](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nLtrG8omQI&feature=related)

**Warning: Very gross & disturbing videos. You have been warned.**

Oh, DUUUuuuuuuuUUUUUuDE. You can see it moving, presumably from his breathing as a man says something about the lungs being involved. Ugh. Wow.

From the related feature of **Johnny L.A.**'s link to the spider bite vid: [pene amputado](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmZqKHfr594) (amputated penis) done at Mayo. :eek:

(Thread chorus) “Oh, c’mon, don’t be such a baby…”

No, not really. The video made me a little sad. Sure, there are worst things in the world, but that’s got to rank right up there in the personal tragedy department.

(oh, and I get a reading fail for saying that video was filmed at a Mayo clinic/hospital–“Dos de Mayo” is the hospital. Not the same thing at all.)

I’ve been known to wile away and hour or three at [popthatzit.com](http://popthatzit.com) and youtube but I’ve gotta say, that was one of the grossest things I have ever seen.
