Even before I saw this spoof trailer, all I could think about when I saw the original ads for 300 was "omigod check out the repressed homoerotocism!!!!". Oh and "Battle rhinoceri? I don't remember Herodotus writing about battle rhinoceri in the Histories!"
Herodotus,
Though the best of philosophus,
Ignored the contribution
Of the war-rhinocerus.
The Spartans, pumped full
Of war-lust and testosterus
Thought the Persians were silly
To include the rhinocerus.
The vengeance wreaked
By the war rhinocerus
Was truly unprecedented,
Not to mention disasterus.

Noice, TimT.
Poor old battle-rhinoceri of little brain.

I so want to see this. It just look so wrong! But in a good way.

Although it's more amusing that way, that last comment was actually me, I didn't realise Harry's login details were still there. He's already seen it I think.
