Brave New World--what's with all the self-spanking? Message Board

At the end of Brave New World the savage goes around spanking himself. What's more, he let's other people film it so they can watch it in theaters and laugh at him. I can understand him not wanting to be a brainwashed zombie, but was the best solution really to spank himself on the butt?
