an alright episode, but i don't think Trey and Matt really appreciate the fact that to a lot of people Christianity means more than "be a nice dude." (they made this same kinda mistake with "Red Hot Catholic Love.") and also the fact that *gasp* maybe certain Jews at the time (i'd say "majority" but i'm not really sure exactly) wanted Jesus's death, which is fact, not antisemitism, and does not mean that today's Jews are being blamed.

Why was my comment deleted? Seriously, he needs a sense of humor. Besides in the end of the episode the explained the purpose of the episode, that people shouldn't concentrate on why and how Jesus died, but concentrate on his teachings. 24.14.120.92 07:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- i watch and enjoy South Park a lot -- i just didn't think this episode was really that funny. Jesus's suffering and crucifixion are an integral part of Christianity. like they did with the "moral" of the Catholic episode, non-religious people like Matt and Trey want to strip out all the theology from Christianity and make it just about generic morals, "being a good person," all that. that's nice, but it's not all Christianity's about, and shooting a movie that focuses on Jesus's death does not detract from Christian morals.
- 'course, i guess you can argue that it was just too violent -- i didn't see it, so i don't really know. anyway i just didn't find the episode funny, both because it was too focused around this lousy message and because it just wasn't really that funny. Dr. Trey 08:53, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Baseketball
Trey Parker and Matt Stone didn't make Baseketball, they starred in it.
[edit] "This episode was re-aired 9 August, 2006 because of Gibson's recent arrest."
because of Gibson's recent arrest? How do you know it is because of it? It may be better to say, "This episode was re-aired 9 August, 2006 following Gibson's recent arrest." It also aired on the 13th of the same month. --Kalmia 03:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Qapla
I think it should be mentioned that Mel Gibsons charicter in Breavheart also says Qapla at the end of his big speech(the one where they can take there homes but not there freedom) befor the first main battle against edward the longshanks.BLaCk 00:49, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Editing
I've changed the sentence "The explicit use of the Swastika or "Hakenkreuz" as a nazi-symbol has been censored out in Europe, because the symbol is illegal in most European countries. It also has been censored in the USA in syndication." to "The explicit use of the Swastika or "Hakenkreuz" as a nazi-symbol has been censored out in parts of Europe, because the symbol is illegal in some European countries. It also has been censored in the USA in syndication." "Europe" is not ONE place. It consists of different countries with different laws and traditions. The swastika is, as far as I know, only illegal in Germany and Austria.
- It is illegal in France as well. But in Austria, the enforcement of it is inconsistent. user:Pzg Ratzinger
[edit] Really a goof?
I removed the goof stating that Gibson couldn't get out of the torturing table because the whole scene was full of similar cartoonish goofs (parodying Daffy Duck).
"When the show Kyle trying to conveince the Jewish community to apologize for Jesus' death, they are in rows, but in Synagogues they sit in a circle to represent all of them to be equal."
I'm not sure this is necessarily a goof. As far as I know, Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews have different practices for gathering in synagogues, one of which is a forming circle and the other sitting in rows.
A real goof, by the way, is the spelling of the guy who wrote this part of the article ("the show" for "they show", "conveince", etc.).... 200.213.42.15 20:03, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Based on the above facts, I just removed the sentence.200.213.42.15 20:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, but I believe this is also an important point. The goofs section claims the cinema in South Park charges $9 for a child ticket but this is disputable. The vendor states quite clearly that 'This is an R rated movie' and therefore it is likely that the only ticket possible to sell for the Passion of the Christ was an adult ticket even though they were clearly children. Please follow this up quickly we can't have this sort of blatant innacuracy on Wikipedia.
[edit] Instances of violence in Mel Gibson's movies
The long list of instances of violence in Mel Gibson's movies should not be here. At best, the comment from the DVD commentary should appear as a brief note under Miscellaneous. The entry on the episode should not contain facts that a writer puts in as support for Parker and Stone's views on Mel Gibson. That goes beyond the scope of the entry -- it's not from or about the episode. The Wikipedia entry itself should not itself be argumentative. In any case, such a long list is just disproportionate. If Parker and Stone mention it in the commentary, it's fine to make a brief mention of it here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.180.60.139 (talk) 08:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Qapla'
Would you please spell Qapla' correctly? It has an ' at the end, which is a letter in Klingon. Thank you. I'll let someone more plugged-in than me change the actual article. --Captain Krankor, Grammarian, Klingon Language Institute
