BME pain olympics

The Pain Olympics is one of the events that occasionally occurs at BME BBQs, especially BMEFest. It is not endorsed in any way by the IOC but merely a contest to see who has the highest pain tolerance and stamina where the contestants come from a group of familiar people. Much like drinking games, these are performed at the contestant's own risk as a rite of passage, but unlike drinking games, it is often done by totally sober people.

Rites of passage involving pain tolerance have been documented from the earliest of human records[1] and as such, the Pain Olympics can hardly be called new or genuine. What sets it apart from other such rituals, like Kavadi or the Phuket Vegetarian Festival,[2] is that it is rarely done for spiritual enlightenment, but rather out of curiosity and sport. In addition, Pain Olympics are almost exclusively held by those people attending BME BBQs and are usually well photographed and video recorded for bmezine.com and there generally is no prize for winning other than notoriety.

There is a hoax Internet viral video entitled BME Pain Olympics: Final Round that has nothing to do with the actual Pain Olympics. It has been viewed by a large number of Web surfers and has been the subject of reaction videos on sites including YouTube. In the video, two men are seen performing genital self-mutilation set to the song "Livin' Like a Zombie" by Mortification. The original video, hosted on BMEzine, displays a message at the end confirming it is fake, however most of the other versions of the video on other websites do not have that message at the end. According to Shannon Larratt, the creator of the video, the two "competitors" used prosthetic makeup and contains no actual body modification.
