[edit] Butters and Tweek

In the trivia section it says:

While neither Butters nor Tweek were with the boys in the previous two episodes, they both go with Stan, Kyle and Cartman to the museum.

In fact, Butters was in the previous episode (The Return of the Lord of the Rings to the Two Towers); he appeared as Gollum. Was this meant that this is the first time that Butters and Tweek appeared together with the regular three, without the rest of the class present?--Cory Kohn 16:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another Trivia problem

The fact that a smoker was taunted after the end of the Tolerance Muesum tour and how no one paid no attenton to Chef or Butters in regards to Lemmiwinks also shows how hypocritical political correctness can be to itself. The camp master's comments on how "Intolerance will not be tolerated."

WHAT does this mean?? Someone, preferably the writer, needs to fix this up.--Cory Kohn 21:50, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

There are several examples of hypocrisy by the pro-tolerance people, but in this paragraph i only see two.

They do not mind intolerance when it is against something they don't believe in; in this case against the smoker. These people are quick to defend those of different races, homosexuals, etc, but they rarely defend smokers. I believe Matt and Trey (non-smokers) found this hypocritical.

The camp master's comment: The sentence itself is contradictory and in practice it is hypocritical. At least i believe that is how Matt and Trey feet. Certain actions (smoking) will offend others. That is their right; let them be offended. You cannot mandate or insist that everyone tolerates everything. Becoming offended the kids were offended by the Lemmiwinks incident is quite hypocritical; it is intolerant of the kids' right to be upset in order to be tolerant of Mr Garrison's sexuality.

The Chef and Butters detail was not really hypocrisy as i see it. Unless they were ignored in an intolerant manner, that is.

Perhaps the trivia could list the smoker incident and that quote, but it might take a section to describe the moral aspects of the episode. --Kevin L'Huillier 01:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

The examples of Chef and the smoker outside the museum are not really examples of hypocracy (although the reaction to the smoker is closer to it) so much as irony. It's ironic that Chef would be the one to report Garrison for outrageous behavior only to be told that he's the one that has to be punished, in the form of 'tolerance camp', because the audience has seen the actions of Garrison and knows that Chef is right in reporting him.
