South Park Spoofs Election Chaos

In less time that it has taken to recount the votes, South Park has put together an episode parodying the chaos that erupted in Florida last week over the presidential election.

The Nov. 15 episode focuses on an election for kindergarten class president that is too close to call, so a recount begins to determine the winner. "When you put this same situation in with kindergarteners, everyone's actions make a lot more sense," co-creator Matt Stone told the New York Post.

With the help of 70 animators, computer engineers and actors, the show was expected to be completed early Wednesday morning. The show airs Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. ET and repeats Thursday at 12:30 a.m. ET and Saturday at 10 p.m. ET.

This is not the first time Stone and co-creator Trey Parker have assembled a show so quickly. In April, the South Park team rushed together an episode in the wake of the Eli�n Gonz�lez raid.

Akira, probably the most famous Amine, at least in the US.

I saw references to 2001, Akira, and Terminator. Any others I may have missed?

Don't forget the 2001 reference, with Cartman as Hal.

Uh, I mentioned 2001. Right before I mentioned Akira.

Matt & Trey seem to be throwing anime references and in-jokes into recent episodes of SP, what with last night's ep.(which was really funny, BTW), BLU(when Cartman goes "super-Saiyan" and opens a can of whup-ass on Saddam), and the Chinpokomon ep...

Just wondering if there was a Dragonball Z/South Park crossover fanfic follow-up based on the movie...

I wouldn't be surprised. I've read a SM/SP x-over fic titled "Sailor Park". Quite strange.

When the Trapper Keeper was saying "We are Trapper Keeper" it reminded me of the episode of Star Trek with Nomad......"We......are.....Nomad"

Apparently not too long, considering the Elian inspired Ep.

The first time we see the Trapper Keeper of the future, it looked just like the Master Control Program from "TRON". BTW, way back in the "Jewbilee" episode, Moses appeared over the campfire looking like MCP as well.
