Overview

A few months back 2girls1cup mad a big hit on the net with its shocking video. It seems the lure of the site wasn't just the video, but the fact that people would go to the site knowing they were going to see something shocking without seeing porn or other things. I want to start by making one of these shock sites based around the Apples Video.

Progress

  • I know how to encode the videos and host them on a server myself. This means no 3rd party hosting.
  • I need to make the site look kind of nice.
  • I need a name for the site.

Videos

Discussion of Names

Think about why one name may work better over another.

  • Apple Video
    • WheresTheApple seems to have a catchy, yet innocent sounding title to it. That implies that more people may get "appled" so to speak.
    • 2Apples1Girl seems appropriate because it acknowledges the influence of 2girls1cup. However, it gives away the surprise ending and that's not all that shocking.
    • PussandApple This name captures the content well. It's easy to infer from the name that its something dirty. That probably doesn't matter, though.

Dead

This meme has kind of been played out. --JimShoe 15:24, 24 April 2009 (CDT)
