The AMB Phenom
It just started as a stupid college joke. Thanks to the power of the internet this "joke" has mushroomed into a major movement complete with its own Web-Ring, see Janet Reno pic.
Mr. T Started It
No, not really, but the original "Ate My Balls" site featured the former star of the A-Team.
In a recent interview, Nahal Patel explains how a late night act of Scratch-itti became such a global phenom.
No one is safe from the Ate My Balls movement

Janet Reno Launches Probe to Investigate "Ate My Balls" Websites
Washingtion, DC-- At a press conference today, Attorney General Janet Reno expressed concern over a new type of web site and its implications. "The Department of Justice has been following this trend for some time now. After a preliminary review, we decided to pursue this further."
"These viscious acts of cannibalism can no longer be ignored."The phenomennon of "Ate My Balls" sites began about a year ago in a college dorm. Initially, Mr T. was accused of consuming testicles. |

But now there are hundreds of web sites accusing everyone from Monica Lewinsky to the Biker Mice from Mars of eating balls. Given the barbaric topic of these sites, the legal system would take notice sooner or later.
"If any of these accusations are true, these crimes will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," the Attorney General promised. She continued, "Canibalism in any form is still illegal in the United States, certain parts of Pennsylvania notwithstanding."
The ongoing impeachment trial of President Clinton may also feel the effects of the Ball-Eating tidal wave sweeping the internet, as many prominent figures in the case, namely Monica Lewinsky and several others, are accused of gonad gastronomy.
No One is Safe

Even the music industry could be shut down because of this crisis. Recently, several Garth
Brooks fans came forth, acusing the country music star of "Eating
their Balls." "We had front row seats, we were so excited, but our excitement quickly turned into fear," said one concert attendee who wished to remain anonymous. |

"I was way in the back, but that wasn't far away enough to spare me from him," said another fan.
Spokespeople for Garth would not return our calls, wrongly assuming they were prank calls.
