[edit] Live 8

Live 8 was July, this episode aired in March so how could live 8 be the inspiration for the show?

" Live 8, the world wide concert that aimed to eliminate poverty in early 2005, can also be named as an inspiration for this episode. (Like Live 8, the hippy's concert to show the corporations that they don't need them failed to reach its aims)."

  • Good point, something like that can be deleted, like I'm about to.

[edit] Merge

I suggest we merge this article with Die, Hippie, Die because they are both articles on the exact same episode of South Park. --123fakestreet

[edit] The Core vs Armagedon

isn't it a parody of The Core and not armagedon?

this episode resembles Land of the Dead --66.218.11.8 03:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Ignoring that Land of the Dead comment, I have to agree, I've seen a good few times and until I saw this page, I just assumed it was a parody of The Core and hadn't even thought of Armageddon. I mean, the fact that they have the drill to go through the crowd and the "black man to sacrifice himself in case anything goes wrong" were both, in my opinion, directly based off The Core. 24.114.252.226 11:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Just a +1 from me. The guys getting on the shuttle may have been based off Armageddon, but the rest of it was surely The Core. Chutz

[edit] Yoism link

It seems to me that the link to the video excerpts on the Yoism site is for promotion. I would have no problem with it if the site was satirical, but it seems to be mostly serious.

[edit] Churchill excerpt

I rewrote the part about the "little Eichmann" phrase by Ward Churchill (which is actually first attributed to John Zerzan). It was clear somebody just wanted to write a POV piece about Churchill without regard to whether it was relevant to the episode.WallyCuddeford 03:11, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

just out of curiosity, does anyone know if real songs were used for the music at the festival? I feel like that would be an interesting addition to the page.

[edit] Gotengo Reference

I think the Gotengo reference is overstretched. Other than having a big drill at the nose, the Driller used by Cartman does not seem to resemble Gotengo at all. I think that should be removed. 78.21.254.29 (talk) 02:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cult Refs

The cultural references section is chock full of speculation and unverified fancruft. I say delete it all and start over. Lots42 (talk) 03:28, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Drilling machine

Am I the only one to have noticed that the drilling machine in the episode is terribly similar to the one in Sonic the Hedgehog videogame?
