I like this. it hit me as a dark/twisted version of the song 88 lines about 44 women.
This kind of reminds me of the beginning of magnolia, or that Alannis Moorset song that doesn't make any sense. I liked it but in the end it seems like the only thing tying all these events together was for shock value and to stretch competitive limitations. It works though. I was definitely shocked by the content and impressed with the risk.
