I recognized the apology scene, obviously, but I'm pretty conversant in that story and they hit on little else related to it.

I liked this episode the throw back to Heavy Metal was great.
Loved Schindler Cartman - and the jewish music that would play.
They nailed the look of Spitzer's Wife.
Good to see a topical episode - gotta get me one of those flying Trans-Ams

I laughed a lot in this episode, and thought they handled the multiple plot lines well. The best of the season so far, and just a really great episode for South Park.

And it was good to see a Kenny centric episode. Is it just me or was he really easy to understand this episode? Maybe after 11 seasons I'm getting used to it.

The Oscar Schindler parallel is what won me over. Every time the Fiddler-on-the-roof-esque minstrel music played I started laughing. I really thought for sure they would have had Cartman at the end saying, "I could have saved more... this watch! This watch could have saved one cat!" Missed opportunity.

Yeah, Schindler is lamenting that he hadn't saved more.

Well, someone's enjoying the smell of their own farts this morning.

It was serviceable, like the other eps this season, but I didn't find it particularly funny. Seemed like they had an idea but didn't know what to do with it.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, I might have passed it while reading the thread.
But the root of the episode is a parody of a way to actually get high from feces and urine. Its called "jenkem " So this actually was a pretty current episode. That report was only from a few months ago.
The things they threw in from heavy metal and diary of anne frank really made this episode. Hilarious

I saw more Anne Frank references than Oskar Schindler, including Cartman telling one of the cats to write a diary. Definitely an improvement over last week.

Very enjoyable episode. Heavy Metal - Major boobage indeed. Never thought I'd see Anne Frank/Schindler and Heavy Metal references in the same show. And nice rip from current events.

The Spitzer stuff should have been as sharp or sharper than the stuff related to ancient cultural happenings. That's South Park.

I really enjoyed it. Just watched it again at southparkstudios.com. I thought it was better than endless cheap shots at celebrities. Of course, I'm a fan of the movie, so that helped quite a bit. I really don't think someone who had no idea what Heavy Metal was would get much out of it.
I was kind of surprised that Cartman didn't have some hidden agenda behind his cat sanctuary. Nice to see something a little different. I liked his exchange with Kyle at the end too.
