* RealitySubtext: While Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone say their pot shots at celebrities are mostly in good fun, Creator/BarbraStreisand is one of the few they openly dislike. Her portrayal in this episode was due to her criticizing the entire state of Colorado for passing Amendment 2 by a slim margin. This would have forbade gays from being recognized as a protected class, though it was later overturned by Colorado's Supreme Court. Streisand lashed out by calling Colorado "a bunch of hicks" and publicizing a boycott of the state. Despite being pro-gay activists themselves, they felt her reaction was unjustified which says a lot about how much they hate her.[[note]]It's food for thought that, of all the corrupt politicians, high-profile criminals and even ''murderers'' they've depicted, Streisand is the person they hated the most personally... [[FelonyMisdemeanor for being rude]].[[/note]]
