Title: An examination of bad taste
Review: "Advocate cannibalism. Eat sh*t."That quote is from the wonderfully grotesque woman named Divine a.k.a. Babs Johnson. [...] I never thought I could be so repulsed by an American movie. Especially one from the early 70's. But man, I nearly lost my turkey dinner.Pink Flamingos has some extremely graphic depictions of incest. Some cannibalism thrown in just for fun. Plus a sex slave/baby ring. But what takes the disgusting proverbial cake for me is the sex scene involving a live chicken. Director John Waters reply to the outcries from animal rights advocates was something like "Well, chickens get butchered every day. This one got to be in a movie, get laid(again), and then become lunch for the film crew". Somehow I doubt they agreed.This campy movie is filled with other outrageous examples of bad taste. But it also has some great character development and quotes. A raucous good time.
