	Pink Flamingos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pink Flamingos is a 1972 film directed by John Waters.
		In 1997 the film was re-released, with an improved stereo soundtrack (which, unlike the original, was made available to the general public, on compact disc), and after the end of the original movie the new version contained a brief video commentary by Waters, plus a few scenes cut from the original release.
		The Funday Pawpet Show holds what is called the "Pink Flamingo Challenge", in which the ending to the movie is played to the audience while they eat a (preferrably chocolate) confection.

	Plastic flamingo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the most famous of lawn ornaments along with garden gnomes and other such ornamentation, the pink flamingo is an icon of pop culture, as well as a statement.
		It has even spawned a lawn greeting industry where flocks of pink flamingos are installed on a victim's lawn in the dark of night.
		If pink flamingos were the ultimate in bad taste, then people were sure to place them on their lawn to bug their neighbors.

		At this moment, the pink flamingo population is flourishing and numbers are estimated at 15 - 20,000.
		Flamingos are "filter feeders." They stand head-down with their bills upside-down in the water and then use their tongues like pistons to push mud and water through lamellae (tiny, hair-like projections) on the inside of their beaks.
		Flamingos live 20 or more years in the wild, and in captivity, they are reported to live more than 40 years.

		In retrospect, Waters' 1972 breakthrough, Pink Flamingos, defines his style -- not just because it initiated his popularity or because it ends with arguably the most shocking scene in cinema history (if you don't know by now) -- but because of the badge of low-culture from which it took its name.
		Pink Flamingos was a movie that was made to make fun of hippies.
		And although his budgets have increased over the years -- Pink Flamingos was made for $10,000, Serial Mom cost $13 million -- he says that the process has remained more or less the same and brags that Serial Mom would have cost $20 million if it had been made by anyone in the Hollywood system.

	Pink Flamingos (1973)
		While Pink Flamingos and Female Trouble are certainly not for the squeamish or the easily offended, both films are outrageously funny and shockingly subversive.
		Pink Flamingos is obscene, as Waters even admits in the commentary, but it's also very funny if one's sense of humor skews towards the bizarre.
		On the Flamingos disc, he tells very amusing stories about his own paranoia regarding curses (he's especially concerned about his nail clippings and teeth), why his parents should never watch the film, and about how Baltimore's Harbor Place was much better before gentrification, when it was full of rats and lesbian bars.

	The Wild Ones: Flamingo
		Flamingos live in lagoons, or lakes, where there is lots of mud and water.
		Flamingos use a variety of habitats: mangrove swamps, tidal flats, and sandy islands in the intertidal zone.
		A flamingos worst enemy is man, who destroys the bird's habitat, directly by using the land for other purposes or indirectly by changing the natural processes that occur on that land (water depth, water quality, salinity).

		They get pink from the huge quantities of shrimp they eat or from the blue-green algae they drink - depends on which resource you use, but the more reliable one’s say it’s the shrimp.
		Flamingos could be seen as vertical, color enhanced swans - elegant and graceful, instead, they’re seen mostly as – well, yeah, plastic lawn ornaments.
		But, I think a couple of cute plastic flamingos might perhaps show the world that the house’s owners are mates for life and although born white, acquired a tinge of pink because of all the scrumptious shrimp and – okay, that part’s a stretch.

		On the surface "Pink Flamingos" could easily be dismissed as a nostalgic piece of shock cinema.
		The purpose of "Pink Flamingos" is to not only put a hilariously depraved spin on the fascination with celebrity but to also provide a cautionary tone to the dissolution of society itself.
		The performances are all top-notch; especially the ever-dependable and over-the-top Mink Stole, as heartless Connie Marble; and scene stealing Edith Massey, as Edie 'The Egg Lady'.

	The Straight Dope: Are flamingos pink because they eat shrimps?
		Flamingos are in fact pink because they eat shrimps, which contain a red pigment.
		Depending on formulation, they impart a red, pink, orange, yellow, or even green cast to some plants and to the higher links in the food chain by which those plants are consumed--and thank goodness, because it would be a dull world otherwise.
		Wild flamingos are pink because they eat carotene-containing brine shrimps (one species) or blue-green algae (another species).

		Waters has (perhaps unnecessarily) tacked on a 10-minute epilogue, in which he introduces a few lost scenes he says were recently unearthed "in my attic." "Lost" scenes usually end up that way for good reason, and these new tidbits add little to the overall impact of the film.
