[edit] Michael Jackson

Can someone cite a source where it says that this Michael Jackson comment was cut? It seems more to me that the "cut" was intentional by Matt and Trey (ie: Michael Jackson was never mention, but implied,) similar to "cutting" in a later episode where Mr Garrison says "Well at least we got rid of all them damn n-". The cut is an implication, rather than an actual cut. Orichalcon 11:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't think he ever said Michael Jackson, it was just widely assumed that he said this since the cut is so abrupt and it's such an easy conection for people to make.

Actually, I once saw an airing about half a year or so ago where the announcer did say the whole thing, which included a mention of Micheal Jackson. Unfortunately I wasn't able to record it, but I do distinctly remember seeing that on TV. On my Season One DVD though, the line is cut. X-pert74 00:07, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

You're wrong. It's NEVER said "Michael Jackson". Orichalcon is correct, The whole joke is that the implication is strong enough and the name doesn't need to be said. I recall being a member of a South Park mailing list running in late 1997 and upon one of the first reruns of the episode, the topic of this "cut" came up. Many users chimed in to confirm that it was missing in the very first airing. The only reference for the cut Michael Jackson comment comes from user-submitted and non-referenced sources such as Wikipedia and TV.com. 203.217.32.251 23:29, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
