I thought it was hysterical, very outrageous. Most of the time I was too shocked to laugh. The bear was pure genius.
Reminds me a lot of Water's Pink Flamingos (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069089/), which was probably the most outrageous and funny movie I had seen up until Borat. Great movie, also has good shots of Baltimore 30 years ago.
