There is currently a video going around the InterTubez that is so vile it made comedian and Fear Factor host Joe Rogan turn away in horror and some schmuck's poor grandmother blow sweet Nanna chunks. YouTube is littered with videos of people reacting in horror while watching it. It's the most disturbing visual experience since the Nick Berg beheading video, and we're pretty sure that, seven days after you've watched it, Mephistopheles himself shows up and yanks you straight into hell.

It's called 2 Girls, 1 Cup. In the cleanest terms possible, it shows one of two girls doing something in a cup. Then the two ... share it. There are things ingested that have already been ingested, then they're regurgitated and ingested again. Perhaps the most bothersome element is the swelling classical music score. (We're not linking the clip. There are some things you can't unwatch.)

And In a roundabout way, the man to thank for this scatological shocker is embattled former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez.

Dubya's favorite toadie not named Rove went to war against "obscenity," as he, the Prez, and their fundie friends perceived it. Not just obvious stuff, like kiddie porn, but so-called fetish videos of acts between (allegedly?) consenting adults, some of them featuring scat, bukkake, and vomit-play.

One of the targeted producers of this freaky fare was Danilo Simoes Croce, a native Brazilian who ran Lex Multimedia out of—where else—Orlando, Florida. Croce was busted by the Feds in 2006 for delivering titles like Toilet Man 6 and Scat Pleasures to his happy customers.

Croce reached a plea agreement [PDF] with the Government in June, 2007, and in that dryly-written doc is found the following passage: "[Croce will] provide the Government with all copies of films involving urination, fisting, scat, and bukake [sic] in the possession of Lexus Multimedia, Lex Multimedia, MFX or Dragon Films."

Since the first words seen on 2 Girls 1 Cup are MFX 1209 and the (now-defunct) URL mfxvideos.com is displayed on the screen, it looks like some of the scat slipped through the cracks.

Danilo Croce, it seems, created one hell of a "screw you" to outgoing Gonzales.

Radar was unable to locate a phone number for Croce, and e-mails to several addresses bounced back.

Any wonder he's tough to find. At one time, he was a federal fugitive.From a Postal Inspectors report from 2006:

"Danilo Croce, a Brazilian owner of Lex Multimedia, was arrested by Postal Inspectors in Orlando, FL, in September 2006 after disembarking from an airplane that arrived in the United States. A federal fugitive, Croce had fled to Brazil after being indicted in 2004 for operating several Web sites that sold obscene videos via the U.S. Mail. The Department of Justice's Attorney General Obscenity Task Force assisted the Southern District of Florida in prosecuting the case."
