Jane Austen's Fight Club

As an English teacher and lover of literature, I am not certain how to feel about all the things being done to Austen's works lately. Take Pride and Prejudice and Zombies or Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters as two examples.  I don't know why there is a modern tendency to mix Austen's era of manners with violence. 
But as someone with a sense of humor, I also find all these parodies immensely entertaining.  Today I discovered the newest addition to this growing trend: a faux movie trailer for something called Jane Austen's Fight Club.
My favorite part is when they are all dancing around the porch--rock on ladies!
