There is a hoax Internet viral video entitled BME Pain Olympics: Final Round that has nothing to do with the actual Pain Olympics, although similar things have happened during the festival.[citation needed] 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 self-genital mutilation. 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. After a recent schism between the owners, BME no longer provides many of the April Fools' Day Publishers Ring articles, including the one announcing this video as a prank.[6] Since the article is no longer hosted, neither is the video which, while very graphic and contains some real content, is not 100% authentic. Other April Fools' Day articles in the past have included identical twins swapping body parts and a couple biting each other's fingers off as a sign of commitment.[7]
The video of the two "competitors" seems to be taken from actual footage of EREBLI[8] and Kokomi.3k[9] but have been doctored to make them look more intense than they actually are.
The song "Livin' Like a Zombie" by Mortification is played in the video.
