Popping Zits

[nfotxn]

This is a video of macro shots of a person or people popping their zits. Personally I find it fascinating if a bit gross. You might just find it gross. Here's the arty-farty rationalization for the human fascination with bodily functions:

At a certain point (it took me a number of minutes) you realize that you’re not seeing exotic, underwater life, but extreme close-up views of people squeezing blackheads. The dancing forms are filaments of pus released from under the skin, and their explosive appearance in the frame suddenly reads as grotesque and not pleasing. “I want to portray human beings as a kind of organic living being, that’s what they are actually, an organism,” Delvoye has said, and a number of his pieces use a scatalogical frame to articulate that organic nature

It's crazy how some of those black heads look more like moles before they burst.

The huge zit videos fascinates, same with botfly larval extractions.

That was sorta cool, in a gross way. I wish the lighting had been a bit less yellow.

i got through about half, and then felt queasy. ugh. and yet, i LOVE when i get a real juicy one that i can pop. if it hits the mirror, it's a bonus. but other people? and yellowish? and wet looking? nah.

For me, at least, there is something uniquely satisfying about taking out a nasty zit. A minor combination of accomplishment, healing and body maintenance. That vid was actually well done.

In fact, yes, that was quite fascinating.

As I plan to go back on a diet, that's really really helpful.
