What's with the godawful trivia? I mean, most of that is really really obvious and even opinionated

The scene where Randy is running through the field yelling at the boys to run...the scene and even the dialoge sounds familiar but I cannot think of the movie it comes from for the life of me...anyone know what this is? I think it deserves inclusion. Oh yeah, if you think the trivia is godawful how about you do better?? Also sign your damn posts...--Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY 22:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Anyone notice the name of the old folk's home? Shady Acres is the old folks home off of GTA Vice City (referenced in several other games) and also in this episode; surely it's worth a mention in the Trivia section? Also, slightly less obvious is the layout and script of the mansion under attack scene is very simmilar to the opening of the game Resident Evil. Just thought i'd let you know...

Hippies
What does Newt from Aliens have to do with hippies? Did I miss something? And people, people, Trivia sections are to be AVOIDED. Please. Lots42 10:07, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

 * The title of this episode and many of its scenes are a parody of the 1984 movie Red Dawn. Specific examples include the AARP troops parachuting into the town while Mr. Garrison lectures his class on Genghis Khan and sees them outside the window and the townspeople being rounded up and held inside a prison camp, with Stan's dad talking to the boys through the fence and shouting "Avenge me!" Red Dawn, like South Park, takes place in a Colorado mountain town.
 * The restaurant that all the elderly eat at is named Country Kitchen Buffet, which is a combination of the names of two similar restaurants; Country Kitchen Restaurants and Old Country Buffet.
 * The topical reference of this show is George Russell Weller's fatal car accident at the Santa Monica farmer's market in July 2003, in which he killed 10 people. The car Weller drove, a Buick LeSabre from 1992, is also featured in the episode, as the car which killed a man who was fishing when the car was driven off a bridge. This scene also parodies the movie Jaws, using the theme music from the movie.
 * Cartman says "Mostly hippies go to farmer's markets... mostly". This is a reference to the character Newt from the movie Aliens. Cartman has spoken in this manner before in the episode "Cat Orgy".
 * The sequence where a convoy of elderly drivers are seen approaching (with Randy shouting for the boys to get off the road) references a sequence in John Carpenter's 1983 film adaptation of Stephen King's Christine, with similar staging and music to this scene where Christine chases a victim at a slow pace before running him down.
 * When the boys are playing hockey, Cartman is wearing a shirt similar to the Colorado Avalanche design with the number 33 on it, referencing goaltender Patrick Roy who retired from the Avalanche the season before.

I dont see how you can source the Cartman jersey any more? He is playing the same position with a jersey similar, yet legally different for copyright reasons, with the number of one of the most famous goalies of all time that plays for the team in their area. Its like saying any character that wears a 99 on a hockey jersey isnt referencing Gretzky.
 * Well, it's possible. Up until now I had no idead what Gretzky's number was. Lots42 (talk) 12:22, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * How can it be sourced any more? It wasn't sourced at all when I took it off the article page. You can cite it with a reliable third party source. Alastairward (talk) 15:48, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
