* HarsherInHindsight: Following Hurricane Katrina, the callous opening song number about New Orleans became more cruel, which is why Creator/Channel4 had to issue an apology for airing this episode around the time that Hurricane Katrina and its destructive path across New Orleans was in the news and fresh in everyone's minds. New Orleans residents at the time were not pleased about the opening song number describing New Orleans being a DenOfIniquity and the home to "pirates, drunks, and whores". [[WordOfGod The writers]] stated that this was a reference to the ''Theatre/SweeneyTodd'' song "No Place Like London" which gives unflattering descriptions of London.
