This statement: "This is the only episode to feature black voice actors other than Issac Hayes."

is incorrect. The actor who voices Token, Adrien Beard, is African American. See the following picture (Beard is on the right):

I'm going to remove the statement.

This episode has to be the single most disgusting thing I have ever seen on South Park — Mütze 20:23, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Me too, I stopped watching after seeing this. Embryonic stem cell research is NOT the same as killing grown babies, and portraying a guy like Reeve as not only a baby-killer but a kind of vampire was, as you said, disgusting. Parker and Stone didn't just kick a man when he was down, they kicked him when he was paralyzed. They have Gene Hackman telling Reeve to just accept his fate, but I doubt either of these guys have any idea how maddening it must be to be quadraplegic and being unable to do the most simple of tasks without help. Am embryo consists of 50-150 cells according to the entry right here in Wikipedia. It hasn't had time to develop a brain, let alone consciousness, so using one for research isn't "murder" at all, and you can hardly blame a guy like Reeve for wanting a cure for his condition.
I'll say it again; if Parker or Stone had to lie around staring at the ceiling all day, unable to read a book, or change the channel on the tv, or use a computer, or do anything fun, not being able to even take a dump in the toilet without somebody carrying them into the bathroom and positioning them, and they had to endure it day after day for years, they'd change their tune REAL quick.--Fingerknöchelkopf 06:29, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Really? Really? You watched people shove food in their asses and crap out their mouths, you were fine with Saddam Hussein having anal sex with Satan, a guy raping a chicken was okay, but a stem cell joke is out of line? Especially after "Conjoined Fetus Lady" had already been aired five years earlier? Did you miss the central point of the entire franchise? 71.246.76.223 03:36, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
This is exactly the attitude that South Park was satirizing. Of course medical conditions that might be cured by stem cell research are terrible, but this doesn't mean that the search for a cure outweighs any other consideration. The ends don't always justify the means. 203.221.19.133 10:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I read an interview not too long ago were Matt and Trey said they were pressured to make this episode by their producer, who's Catholic and didn't like Reeves. I'll try to find that article --ObidAlor 01:03, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Hehe, the producer can pressure them to make this? While allowing them to make episodes such as "Bloody Mary". Sounds strange if true. Peoplesunionpro 04:32, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
From http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2006/07/23/matt_stone_not_worried_about_south_park_ --- "For a long time we're like, 'Maybe that's not cool.' So we actually went through a whole season not doing it. The next season we were out of idea and we're like, 'We've got the Christopher Reeve sucking stem cells idea, but that's really too brutal.' It just so happened that he was on (CNN show) Larry King Live that night, and our producer, who is, like, our sounding board because she goes to church every Sunday morning, was like, 'You know what? F**k him.' He really was taking up this cause of, 'Everyone needs to help me out.' Right before he died, I think he started going a little crazy, but he started getting really weird about it (stem-cell research)." - Trey Parker Peoplesunionpro 04:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Black voice actors trivia

After I moved and removed several non-trivia bits from the trivia section it was left with only this:

  • On the creator's commentary, Trey Parker said that because no one on the South Park staff (besides Adrien Beard, Vernon Chatman, and Isaac Hayes who provide the voices of Token Black, Towelie, and Chef respectively) is African American, he had to go out into the street and find three or four black men to record the voices of The Bloods and The Crips.

I went ahead and took this out because 1) it doesn't seem particularly relevant, 2) leaving it in would mean a whole section for a sole bullet point (which I think is kind of awkward), and 3) we're not really supposed to have trivia sections on wikipedia in the first place. Feel free to put it back in if you disagree about the statement's relevance. --Ddawn23 08:34, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Soundtrack

I only came to this article to find what song was play at the Crips hideout, anyone wanna tell? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.16.97.49 (talk) 22:00, August 21, 2007 (UTC)

And does anyone knoe what song is played/sung at the end when the two gangs hang out together? -85.179.51.215 (talk) 02:18, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Hey guys, calling it "Pop-Culture References" or anything else doesn't make a trivia section anything but a trivia section. Also, all three trivia references were already mentioned in the plot summary as they should be, so I deleted the entire section. Don't add it back in, because it's all already in the article; I only removed a redundancy and a bad wikipedia habit. Professor Chaos (talk) 07:54, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
