I once met John Waters at a videostore in California in 2002. My coworker was a huge fangirl and he treated us like we were some celebrity talk show hosts. John if you lurk here and happened to find our weird little corner of the internet I love you man.
There’s one of those egregious double standards regarding animals too because it was a chicken. If a cat or dog had been killed in that scene, people would’ve called for Waters’ head.
