The Stephen King movie was "Children of the Corn" and not "Salem's Lot" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.0.143.133 (talk) 19:02, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Miss Saigon vs. Memoirs?
I thought the "Annie" gag was a reference to the more recent movie, Memoirs of a Geisha, in which a Chinese actress was chosen to play the lead. does anybody else remember this?

"Red Power" = ?
The way Cartman yells "Red Power!" seems to be more like the (southern US-accented) yelling of "White Power!" by KKK members in the "Chef Goes Nanners" episode (ep. plot: changing South Park flag). Also, Cartman shouting a slogan of hate and racial superiority would match the character's history better than Cartman shouting a slogan of anger and (possibly militant) uprising.

Then again, his position in the episode is as militant leader of a minority: more Malcom X than David Duke.

I personally think the trivia should be changed to reflect that the intent was more likely a "White Power" reference than a "Black Power" reference.

Perhaps the double entendre could be mentioned instead of just "white" or "black", pointing out the similarity to BOTH slogans and the different intentions of each.

The “Red Power” could mean the Totalitarianism of Communism, and not power by race or appearance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.7.227.144 (talk) 10:41, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
 * That strikes me as more than a bit farfetched. Zazaban (talk) 17:48, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Alleged RE4 reference
"Following Cartman's orders, the red heads abduct as many of South Park's children as they can, including Kyle and Stan, then bring them to their meeting place to throw them all into a pit of lava. These scenes may or may not be a parody of either the Resident Evil 4 video game and/or the Village of the Damned movies."


 * When did anything like that happen in Resident Evil 4? -- user:Cevlakohn


 * I'm just gonna go ahead and delete the RE4 reference for now. --the same guy

Ginger kids beatings in Canada
Nothing in here about the multiple incidents in Canada where ginger kids were beat up due to the "Kick a ginger day" slogan spreading around the internet inspired by this episode. Shouldn't information be added on this?

I hate to express my person opinion here, but no one was really beat up. They were playfully kicked...it was over hyped by Canadian media beacause Canadian media really doesn't have much to do. 68.199.27.226 (talk) 05:07, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, kicking people because they look a certain way is "playful" and not assault. O.o Anyway, Los Angeles 2009 also  24.29.92.243 (talk) 01:58, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Of course, if you playfully kicked some black kids and called it "kick a nigger day" then of course that would be treated with the same kid-gloves indifference right? Oh but that's DIFFERENT.

Kenny!
Did they killed Kenny or did he survivce???? /RooX94X (talk) 18:46, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It's ambiguous. Though considering it's Kenny we're talking about I doubt his survival. Zazaban (talk) 17:53, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Cultural impact
Some user erased the coppercap issue and the beatings from the news. The first is noticeable because the Suoth Park creators responded to it, and the second because the news addressed it. Both are important to mention because it's actually facts like that that justifies the existence of any article about a TV episode.

Btw, is there suposed to be an episode featuring the Coppercap parody??--20-dude (talk) 06:29, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Maybe the extremely violent music video of M.I.A. for the song "Born Free" has been influenced by this episode. It features red haired young boys beeing deported and killed by seemingly legit police force. no citation found for that, yet --78.52.228.234 (talk) 16:26, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

The wrong video is mentioned in the page, the video South Park parodied is "GINGERS DO HAVE SOULS!!" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.124.85.146 (talk) 02:48, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

anyone know why the section was removed? FM [ talk to me  |  show contributions  ]  21:52, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

This episode was really coool! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.135.200.236 (talk) 16:29, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

I added the reference to coppercab as "cultural relevance". Hopefully it will stay this time. Coppercab's video has over 29M views, which is prolly more than the southpark episode. If that doesn't stand then clearly there's something wrong with wiki. I had the same problem with "son of man" = technology/computers. Maybe this time I'll do better - but if it gets erased I'll just blog about it elsewhere rather than even trying to fight it here like I did for Son Of Man. Coppercab's gingers was bigger than southpark's episode. period.74.111.4.108 (talk) 00:19, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Fukin wiki suckes and is full of corporate lies - putting SP over coppercab on this theme is a complete lie and whoever erased the edits is a tool of the theives. I'm done with wiki-sucks. 74.111.4.108 (talk) 01:09, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Gingervitus or Gingervitis?
both are used in the article. 142.163.194.63 (talk) 15:26, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
