As somebody who has spent over half their life looking at ridiculous things on the internet, I would like to think I’m pretty desensitized to a lot of the run-of-the-mill shock jockey tactics used by those desiring viral fame. I may cringe, even solemnly close my laptop and take a moment, but it’s not often that I truly find myself shocked. 

This all changed yesterday when I came across a video that has been disgusting viewers far and wide for the past twenty four hours. In an impressive and nauseating feat of trolling, one man decided to curse our eyeballs by making a meal in an airplane bathroom sink.  

The one thing we can compliment this wretched individual on is his ingenuity, as he showed the world how to make garlic shrimp and mash using little more than a battery and a sick bag (the irony is all part of the fun). It’s fair to say that I’m not alone in being horrified at this, and many people also questioned how he had got all of his kit through airport security. If you’ll excuse me, I’m now going to take some deep breaths in a darkened room.
