message: Does anybody recall the name of the society in Zürich? I believe it was something like "European Society of Fecal Standards and Measurements," but I'm not sure. The name of the society should probably be included somewhere in the article.

replies: text: I just clarified that it was a fake site that was created after the airing of this episode, which in theory could keep it - however, i'm not exactly crazy about the idea of linking to some goofy site that some dude made up as a joke; however, one might make the case for keeping it as an external link that shows the impact of the episode. either way - whether it stays or goes - is all the same to me, but i would just make the point that it can't stay without clarifying that it's fake and was created in response to this episode.

replies: text: Well I'll be the "hardass" as I barely edit anything. The link doesn't have any sort of citation to let readers know it is not the "official" website of such an institute. If you were reading this article, you would click on that link thinking "Oh such an organization must exist." It's misleading and though I know very little about Wikipedia's standards, I'm fairly certain that the intention is not to mislead or misdirect.Olandir (talk) 19:41, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

text:  I have no personal knowledge of Katie Couric or her work, and upon attempting to find out, I could not: is there any reason in particular that Parker &or Stone would select Couric? Several of my friends had the same question, which I found out upon asking them for the answer. If there is an answer out there, it would make for interesting and necessary additional content for this article. A citation would be nice, but even a personal theory would also be appreciated, as it may help me in finding a citation. Cheers. Harlequence (talk) 04:35, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

message: I'm wondering if this is intentional or not, but the episode number, 162, is also the number of times "shit" is mentioned in It Hits the Fan, and the episode title may reference that fact as well.

message: Is the real life image of Bono really neccasary? It's hardly relevant to the article, and just feels out of place. I've removed it twice, but somebody keeps re-adding it. I'm going to continue removing it until someone gives me a good reason why I should not.--Swellman 21:10, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it is. It's relevant because Bono looks like this in the episode: he wears the same outfit. I would agree with you if it were any random picture of Bono. The current image of his charity in africa is not better and a tad unclear (small) and Fair use. If a free replacement is available, it's not fair use but infringement. (btw: I only placed the image twice, and will now do so for the third time) — Zanaq (?) 02:16, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is about an episode of an animated telivision series, that frequently makes fun of celeberties. Look at any of the other 160 south park episode articles.

message: :Image:1109.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title:  Detail Plot 

message: I would really like to know what drove the painters, authors or producers of South Park to make fun of the Swiss Feredal Insitute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich) (the building of the European Fecal Standards & Measurements Institute really looks like the main building of the ETH Zurich, I know that because I live in Zurich and I work at the ETH Zurich). Maybe somebody of the people involved with South Park had a bad experience there? Don't get me wrong, I'm not offended. I love South Park, I just would like to have some insight on the topic.
To Clarify: Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETH_Zurich and see the third picture down (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ETH_Dome.jpg). Then consult this screenshot from the episode: http://pds6.egloos.com/pds/200710/11/11/e0040411_470dc4906dcbb.jpg. As I already said, I live and work there, so I know the place quite well. It is stated in the episode that this building is supposed to be in Zurich, and there really are not that many buildings like that here.
Maybe this picture might be helpfull too: http://www.gmw06.ch/Vor_Ort/Bilder/Semper-Bau-Raemi-b.gif  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.162.206.14 (talk) 20:07, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, no matter how similar you think it is, it is still speculation. ≈ The Haunted Angel 12:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ok, I won't bring it up again. But I still don't think it's speculation, since the respemblance of the building is clear, the location is mentioned (Zurich), the name is very similiar (both have the attribute 'Institute', Fecal sounds like Federal, Standards & Measurements is easily connected to Technology), the guys of the "European Fecal Standards & Measurements Institute" do look like Professors and they speak English with a very distinguishable Swiss accent. So I really think they (the South Park guys) wanted to scoff at the ETH Zurich and it would be intresting to hear from them why. (129.132.248.82 (talk) 11:22, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  People, People 

message: There has been some speculation over whether or not the spelling of the measurement of fecal matter referred to in this episode should be spelled "Kuric" as Yukichigai (talk) has recommended "per the EFSM website" or whether it should be spelled "Couric."
If one were to view the clip Crap Verification s/he would find that at the 1:10 point of the clip the exact words that are used to define what the EFSM refers to as "the standard measuring unit for human feces" is "one Katie Couric is approximately 2.5 lbs of excrement."  This should be proof enough that the measurement should be spelled "couric" as opposed to "kuric."
Yes, Yukichigai (talk) does cite the EFSM website as the source for spelling the word "kuric", but as we can see from Talk:More Crap-European Fecal Standards & Measurements Board there is much speculation about this website being a valid reference source.  If one were to go to SouthParkStudios.com and conduct a website search for the words "courics" or "couric" one would find data on this episode.  On the other hand, if one were to conduct another website search for the words "kurics" or "kuric" one would come up empty handed on receiving any data on this episode.  Because Southparkstudios.com is the official website of this show I would consider it to be a much more valid reference source than that of the EFSM website which has already been looked at skeptically.
