Might someone be so kind as to explain the context behind this?

John waters is a subversive comedian/writer/director known for pushing the envelope and putting some shocking things on film, like a drag queen eating feces and Hairspray

I saw Cry Baby and loved it, and thought "Pink Flamingos is so famous, it must be great too!" I was disturbed. At what point are you just pushing the envelope for pushing the envelope's sake? Or was that just a documentary about Baltimore

The envelope only exists to be pushed.

And licked.
