This is a screengrab I made of the infamous final scene of John Waters’ filthy 1972 classic, Pink Flamingos. This is the scene where the transvestite Divine, aka Babs Johnson, eats an actual dog turd. Yes, it’s for real. You can read more detail about this scene, which was included in a series on Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film about the most outrageous moments in underground film history. There’s also a fun documentary about the making of Pink Flamingos called Divine Trash, which was reviewed on Bad Lit a few years ago. Pink Flamingos is, of course, available on Amazon and Netflix.
