It's an old video. And a terrible post. But I ask the moderators to hold off on killing it. Because for a few years I have wondered if there is a backstory to it and if anyone knows how the dude turned out. Perhaps someone here knows more.

Also, the end is missing in the linked video. It's supposed to end with him in the shower.

There is a longer version of him in the shower with a swollen and bright red face, complaining that he is in terrible pain and warning that people should not pour rubbing alcohol on themselves. I refuse to link to that video.
