The most disturbing YouTube videos part 2: 'Fark' edition

We thought we knew true evil. How wrong we were.
Last month, we presented a list of the most disturbing YouTube videos of all time: a terrifying collection of weird and warped clips from the darkest corners of the globe.
Well they terrified us, anyway. Turns out our readers are made of sterner stuff.
“Phht, you call these disturbing?,” asked one unimpressed sicko via e-mail. “Check out this video of a harlequin baby — now that’s disturbing!” [Link removed to protect your sanity.]
“If these disturb you, you're a pussy,” scoffed real shaman on the news aggregator site Fark.com. “Boring is the most apt description.”
In fact, the denizens of Fark — collectively known as 'Farkers' and 'Farkettes' — were singularly unimpressed with our patch-work horror show, as evidenced on the linked submission's comments page:
“Not a bookmark.” — Cagey B.
“If any of those rank among the most disturbing things you've seen on the internet then you're... Well, you're luckier than me.” — PenguinTheRed.
“The eye one was freaky but really only because I don't like eyes. The rest range from boring to mildly strange to annoying.” — Yeah right I can think of a good log in.
“Somehow, without a couple of girls and a drinking recepticle, this list is incomplete.” — stvdallas.
“What a bunch of sissies. You should all leave the internet now and leave the serious business to the big boys. …2 Girls 1 Cup? I have the directors cut.” — redsquid.
And so on.
Eventually, a challenge was issued to post ‘better’ videos on the comments page — and boy did the boys ‘n’ gals at Fark.com deliver. We decided to collect some of their nominated videos for your viewing, er, pleasure.
Warning: most of these videos should not be viewed by anyone, for any reason. We really, really mean it.
