That's a guy from one of the "I'm a Mac" ads. After the Mac guy trots out his home video (some supermodel) the Windows guy says "I made a movie too" and this guy in drag walks out.

Alternatively, Skankphone is supposed to be the old Springboard. If you don't boot it as such (at boot time instead of as a plain old application), it shows like that.
