Sissy-Boy Slap-Party

And no, I'm not whining again about Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest's schoolyard behavior...

Canadian art-house fave Guy Maddin (you might know him from the wonderfully retro Careful, Tales from the Gimli Hospital, or Twlight of the Ice Nymphs) made the minutes-long Sissy-Boy Slap-Party in 1995 and it recently showed up on the DVD extras for his film The Saddest Music in the World. The bizarre short parades out an assortment of gay stereotypes from cinema's days past, and then has them engage in a frenzied sissy slap-off that emphasizes the inherent homoeroticism of male-male violence. Think Fight Club meets Glee Club.

There's really very little more that I can say about it other than that it's pretty much the most insane four minutes of cinema I've probably ever seen. I'm posting a rather crappy YouTube version below so that you can see what it's all about, but I strongly recommend that you head over to iFilm to watch it in its high-res, slap-happy glory.

So what do you think? Hilarious? Offensive? Brilliant? Stupid?
