Another thing, why is it important that this is the first episode with lice as important characters. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ssmeelink (talk • contribs).
I'm pretty sure that the soap-in-socks is a reference to a blanket party from I believe Full Metal Jacket. I'm not sure about this though. Of course, no blanket was used in the ep Nate1152 04:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The episode's title is more likely to be a reference to The Ice Capades than a reference to the word  poopscapade(which is probably also a reference to ice capades) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.81.27.7 (talk) 16:49, 21 March 2007
The episode title is most likely a reference to 'The Ice Capades', but a poopscapade is nothing more than a combination of the word Escapade and the word poop. NeoApocalypse 07:56, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I just changed the promo picture to an actual screen capture of the same scene as real pictures are obviously preferable to promotional pictures that were never in the actual episode. I took the screen capture myself. XVertigox 11:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Can we keep some of the references short and sweet (preferably with links.) If you are unsure about it, don't put it in. Also please keep in mind that not everyone is aware of previous SP episodes and references etc, so this information needs to be included. Gaijin84 16:12, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The matrix reference from the fly carrying off the lice is not in any way similar.  It is only LOTR, matrix just doesn't fit.  After all, Neo was dead in the end altogether and the way it all went down in teh episode is just near mirror to LOTR.  I am going to delete it, I hope you see.--WhereAmI 16:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Its a clear LOTR reference. I've also re-edited the synopis, it had some annoying over-elborate commas and bits that needed to be reworded and changed so it could be understood a little better. Gaijin84 17:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

text: May have been a reference to Final Fantasy:  The Spirits Within, where the Gaia theory is mocked by evil politician man asking if he could harm the Earth by firing his gun into the ground.

message: Anything starting with the words "this is the (insert number) time that (event or person) has happend/appeared..." is unneeded. It can lead to things like "this is the 4th time that Cartman has said the word (some word)." Waste of space. Ssault 00:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Im curios to know if that image was an actuall screenshot from the tv broadcast or just a promotional image,because it seems too high resolution to be from the television broadcast,yet it has the distinctive look of an analog sighnal (not to mension the logo not usually not found in promotional images,like the screen of the previous episode)Rodrigue 13:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Episode image 

message: In my opinion, the world being conscious is a clear reference to the Gaia hypothesis, specifically the one used in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. However, both references were removed. In the FF movie, the Earth was reacting to the presence of the Phantoms who were harming it as a life form. Dr. Sid theorized that the Earth was actually alive and nobody believed him, with apocalyptic results. The concept of pointing a gun to the ground and shooting actually "killing the Earth" was mentioned in FF, and in South Park the Vice President actually DID shoot the planet (Craig) and Craig got hurt a little. 
Thematically the concept is very similar to FF, which should be evident to anyone who has seen the movie. Even if FF is not mentioned, I say the Gaia hypothesis definitely should be. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.22.151.55 (talk) 17:08, 24 March 2007
"The "lice" were referring to the Gaia hypothesis when they hypothesized whether their environment was a living organism and whether the harm they were doing to their environment would end up harming them." In the very least, this should remain in, as that is clearly what Matt and Try were referencing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.212.252.173 (talk) 20:39, 24 March 2007
Agree.  It is defenitely a Gaia reference.71.246.149.92 13:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Gaia hypothesis and/or Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within 

message: The similarities to both moves have been added and removed at least twice. I think there is sufficient reason to believe that this episode was a nod to at least one or both of these movies. Trey and Matt are both big fans of Pixar, as they said in the Cartmanland episode's commentary. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.22.151.55 (talk) 17:11, 24 March 2007
That's speculation, which will be removed. --Ssault 00:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
