Save That Bear

I use the whole 'Raping my eyes' thing here a lot, and I thought that I meant it until now. But internet has finally conquered me.

I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant here, but The Pron is angry and needs to vent.

I hope that the current trend of shocking one note video sites ends shortly. Porn is supposed to be a parallel to society, and if you go by that logic then the ratio is this:

2girls1cup is to all TV being reality TV during the WGA strike:ShakeThatBear is to America finally airing executions on television

Shake That Bear goes pretty much like this:

A women shoots a bear out of a tree
Once the bear falls, the woman and another man proceed to have sex on the bear
Apparently during this video the man tells the woman repeatedly to "Shake that bear.."
They finish, the woman has some whiskey and the dogs drag the bear away.

Below are some screencaps of this ridiculousness:






Now, I would recommend watching this video about as much as I would recommend relying on Perez Hilton for real news. But the sad part is that many people DO rely on him for news, and just as many people are going to watch this video. I realize that by posting this I have only piqued your curiosity and that no matter what negative things I have to say about this video it will continue to exist.

That being said, I just want to convey this message to you:

I've watched 2 Girls 1 Cup about 20 times now without ever flinching. I've posted about necrophilia, I've seen (and won't post) rape videos that were probably real, and I've seen videos involving animals that weren't cruel but probably aren't legal in any way.. all this without more than an OMG! reaction.

But Shake That Bear was horrible the moment the bear was hit the first time. After the first shot he starts crying out in pain. From that point on, the video isn't shockingly amusing. It's not even shocking. Humans being horrible to animals should no longer be a shock to anyone, particularly anyone with access to the internet. Nope, this video is just sad. So terribly sad.

And it's only going to get worse, what with the mass popularity of 2girls1cup. There is always going to be a race to see who is more over the top, and now the stakes are higher than ever.

Porn is a reflection on society, and what I see in the mirror sucks.

Sorry I couldn't be funny about this.

well, i watched 2girls1cup our of curiosity (as did many, im sure) and made myself sick. i guess i dont have the cast iron stomach youve acquired. yet. however, i refrained from this video purely for what you said. sadness. im all for people getting their rocks off..i mean, have at it. but at least in 2girls1cup they knowingly made the video and actively participated. what did the bear do? horribly sad... the photos made me cry. boo.. i hate that couple. and i think they should be shot. with that being said, i bid you adieu.
