John Waters...

In Iowa... in a few short weeks... and badly needed, as a young Chinese woman and her white boyfriend were accosted in this fine town recently.

Some thugs calling out "Chink" and making monkey sounds beat the shit outta them.

For real! In Iowa in 2004! Faces broken irreparably in many places! Ugh!

Attendez! Attendez! Attendez!
