  Chipoltaway!

  posted by matt | 10.28.09 | permalink | comment?

  South Park’s 13th season opened with an episode called “I See Dead Celebrities” in which Patrick Swayze, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Walter Cronkite, DJ AM, David Carradine, Bea Arthur, and others appear in Purgatory. It was the Summer of Death after all.

  Of particular note, however, was Cartman’s appreciation for advertising hero Billy Mays who is shown here hawking a product called Chipoltaway, which removes blood stains from one’s underwear after eating Chipotle.

  Set an open course full of urgency

  posted by jamie | 12.05.08 | permalink | comment?

  About ten years ago, South Park brought the song Come Sail Away by Styx to the forefront with Cartman’s apparent problem of not being able to hear the beginning of the song without finishing it.

  For years, Matt and I would bring this up and/or sing it randomly. Then one day I noticed Matt sang the second line of the song as, “set an open course full of urgency”. I had to correct him and let him know the actual lyric is “set an open course for the virgin sea”. Though, if you aren’t really paying attention, I can easily see why Matt would get it wrong.

  Here is the clip that started it all:

  It was the heat of the moment

  Among the many bands named after geographical locations (Kansas, Boston, Europe, Chicago), the band Asia scored big points with their catchy song, Heat Of The Moment. The creators of South Park noticed this, and paid tribute in their episode about Cartman attempting to get stem cell research legalized in order to save his friend Kenny.

  You have to watch the tender sappy moments before the song begins:
