[edit] Trivia Error

"Notice that when Cartman is walking through San Francisco in his anti-smug suit, none of the bystanders seem to notice him" He is actually noticed by one passer-by, who looks at him while he's walking 'round a corner(may be a few seconds off, don't really remember it). -Hage098 Hage098 14:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3/4 View

Is this the first episode where we see a character from a 3/4 view? When the news reporter is explaining the smug clouds to Stan, we see a 3/4 of his face. It's probably happened before but I've never noticed it... so if it is would it be something worthy to add to the trivia? Shivers 18:44, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Nope. They've definitely done it with Cartman before. Alas, my memory isn't too sharp as to when. I was within the last few seasons though... ----Bobak 21:44, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

When I first saw the South Park movie, not having seen any episode before, I thought that characters appeared only from the front, behind, right or left. Seems I was wrong... I think Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society featured the boys in 3/4 (only their faces) when they were acting like cavemen.--Orthologist 18:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Episode Picture

Which picture would be the best for this episode; the current (low-resolution) picture, the one where Cartman is outside San Francisco or the one where the Broflovskis move into their new homes? --Evil Eccentric 01:37, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gerald's License Plate

From what I saw, it did not say "1 million miles per gallon". To do that, it would have to say something like "1MLNMPG" or just "1MMPG". I thought it said something along the lines of "1TMYMPG" (want my MPG?). Can anyone provide a picture to verify this? --Tokachu 02:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

You're correct: http://skew.org/tmp/1tmympg.jpg

[edit] Can't this article be hosted on another wiki?

Does the Wikipedia really need a bunch of articles about Southpark episodes? Wouldn't these be more appropriate on their OWN wiki, where they didn't clutter up the namespace? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.186.134.102 (talk • contribs)

Mcasey, you just made my day. Why can't all talk pages talk like this instead of wasting time with stupid conversation?Chef Brian 02:36, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Background on Clooney's speech

Director Spike Lee has criticised George Clooney for highlighting Gone with the Wind (film) actress Hattie McDaniel's Oscar triumph in 1939 as an example of Hollywood's "forward-thinking".

While accepting his Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor earlier this month (05MAR06), Clooney fired back at critics who claim Hollywood is out of touch by citing McDaniel's win.

Lee says, "To use that as an example of how progressive Hollywood is is ridiculous. Hattie McDaniel played MAMMY in Gone With the Wind.

"That film was basically saying that the wrong side won the Civil War and that black people should still be enslaved.

"C'mon! I like George a lot. I'm not hating on him. But I don't think he really thought it out.

"How many years was it between Hattie McDaniel and Halle Berry (winning an acting Oscar)? Sixty-some-odd? C'mon!" 1 - Mcasey666 07:43, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Hollywood helped create the sterotypes against Vietnam vets after the war with Apocalypse Now and First Blood; i.e., any vet who isn't Ron Kovic or John Kerry is a drug addict, sadist, or fuckup, and he's going to talk about how they break stereotypes down? A lot of people got hurt by those movies. No offense, but George's cherry-picking of intel sounds like another George I know...Chesty95 00:29, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

McDaniels win was 78 years ago. If Clooney is using it as an example of foreward thinking, Hollywood must be 78 years out of touch with the rest of the world (except San Fransisco)

[edit] cartman replacing kyle

he tried to replace kyle in bebe's boobs destroy society with bebe, but they decided to replace cartman instead

[edit] Trivia v Cultural Refrences

Would it be easier to split up the trivia section? It is rather cumbersome, actually larger than the main body of the article. While some facts are relevent, some are just pointing out jokes. So, would it be easier to split them up into different categories or remove some of the more "useless" ones?

Just a thought. Greggykins 10:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I think in the case of individual South Park eps, the trivia's relevant - however it might be an idea to reorganise this and other trivia sections on South Park as "Episode Notes" or similar? 90.240.73.253 23:37, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name that Song!

What is the name of the big band song they play in the beginning of this episode? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alexanderdavis (talk • contribs) 03:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

I'm pretty sure it's "Begin the Beguine" as recorded by Artie Shaw. I've added it to the end of that sentence.66.15.179.18 16:54, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Episode Pic

I think a more appropriate picture would be one of Kyle's father in his car with his eyes "smuggingly" closed. What does everybody think?--Orthologist 22:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

l agree, it fits the episode much better.
