There is no sight more terrifying on earth than that of a human dressed in a pig mask.

On Friday night in the tiny town on Insjön, Sweden, two teenagers were playing Pokémon Go when they discovered a couple wearing rubber pig masks. The couple, dressed in matching 'King' and 'Queen' shirts, then proceeded to shoot the teenagers with green laser pointers. After one of the lasers hit a teenager in the eye, the two ran from the site.

"They wore rubber masks depicting pigs' heads and they started screaming and waving a green lasers," a mother of one of the teens told Dalarnas Tidningar, a Swedish newspaper.

Insjön is home to just over 2,000 residents, but the teenager's bizarre encounter has already made international headlines.

Shortly after the teenagers left, the couple decided to take the show a little bit further. They proceeded to have sex in front of the town's historic water wheel.

And yes, they kept their pig masks on. Keep that image in mind.

The couple caused a sizable traffic jam as drivers slowed down in horror (or delight?) to watch the couple have sex.

The teenagers remain unharmed. However, local police are taking the incident seriously, as assaults by laser pen can cause real injuries.

"Pointing at someone with a green laser can cause injury if it hits the eye," Officer Daniel Hagthorpe told Dalarnas Tidningar.

While most lasers are harmless, green lasers exceed FDA safety standards and can cause permanent retinal damage.

The psychological damage incurred by having to see "sex pigs" fornicate outside a Swedish waterwheel, however, remains unknown.
