The anti-smoking ads have got nothing on this. It’s absolutely disgusting - and utterly compelling to watch.

We’re told it’s footage from a camera in a sewer in North Carolina. It went up on YouTube two days ago and has been viewed almost two million times. The guys who posted it are UFO watchers and they reckon it’s some form of alien life. I’m sure there’s some proper explanation for it.

Can anyone explain it?

      Maybe it’s an anti smoking viral?

      This is what the insides of your stomach looks like after 20 years of smoking…

      pfft, tubifex. That is exactly what the aliens want you to think it is… I for one welcome our new sewer tumour overlords.

      I believe that may be a group shot from the COAG meeting in Darwin smile

      It is tubifex, but if you watch the video closely, there are edits between the shots of the worms and the shots of the sewer tunnel, indicating there might be two different videos, mashed up to look like they’ve been found in a tunnel.

      What’s more important is that I saw this on 4chan.org two days ago, which puts The Punch right on the cutting edge, given that funny pictures of cats usually take upwards of a month to disseminate from the Internet Hate Machine to mainstream blogs.
