Cartman Joins NAMBLA/Trivia

Trivia

 * This was Dr. Mephisto's last speaking role to date; since then, he has only ever appeared as a background character, with Randy Marsh taking up his former role. Trey Parker later commented that by this point he and Matt Stone simply didn't find the character funny any more, and that in retrospect they should have made him a member of the real NAMBLA and written him out permanently in this episode. His only speaking role since is in 201.
 * A picture of Cartman with Bill Clinton is seen hanging above Cartman's Computer.
 * This is the 3rd/4th episode with Cartman's name in it. (Depending whether the Cartman's Mom Is A Dirty Slut episodes count as one or two)
 * The ride The John Denver Experience, is a reference to the death of John Denver in a tragic plane crash.
 * Cartman's username is "BigBoned".
 * This was the first episode in 2000 (Season 4), not to have '2000' in the name.
 * The song playing during the chase scene is Page d'écriture by Yves Montand.
 * The music playing during the "North Park Funland" commercial is the same music from the commercials for "Wild Wacky Action Bike" and "Alabama Man" on the season 3 episode, "Chinpokomon". Cartman took over the same theme park in "Cartmanland", a future episode.
 * This is the first episode about man-boy pedophile organization. Such organization will return in "Red Hot Catholic Love" and "The Return of Chef".
 * Cartman was a model before in the episode "Roger Ebert Should Lay Off the Fatty Foods".
 * The web site name that the two NAMBLA's fight over in the episode is nambla.com but the real NAMBLA has nambla.org as their site.
 * After Eric begins typing on the man-boy chat site, on the ensuing responses, when slowed, some responses can be read. Some include, "this is gay", "tits", and "get a life," which isn't the response Cartman was supposedly supposed to receive.
 * One of the names in the chat rooms says Amir. This could be the Amir from "Over Logging" who Shelly met in a internet chatroom.
 * Aside from this episode Pedophilia has been a subject of South Park "Red Hot Catholic Love", "The Return of Chef", "The Jeffersons" & "Le Petit Tourette".

Censorship

 * The British satellite channel Sky One has banned this episode from showing due to the strong pedophilia references in the main plot (and the subplot being centered on Kenny killing his mom's unborn child). The digital channels Paramount Comedy Channel and VIVA, and terrestrial channel "Channel 4", however, have aired this episode and it does appear on the UK DVD release of South Park's fourth season.

Goofs

 * In the opening scene where the boys are playing the Bill Kurtis-themed version of Monopoly -- Bill Kurtis' name is spelled correctly on the board, however, it is spelled incorrectly (as 'Curtis') on the box for the game. This game is seen again in Up the Down Steroid.
 * Throughout the episode, Carol McCormick's shirt constantly changes from "I'm With Stupid" to "God Bless America".
 * In the sequence with The John Denver Experience, the soundtrack makes it sound like everyone was screaming, but the McCormicks were the only ones reacting to the bumpy ride.
 * When Kyle and Stan arrive at the NAMBLA party, the man Kyle is with has on a plaid jacket and gray undershirt, yet when he is sitting at the table, his shirt is black.

Kenny's Death
Kenny is killed by an ambulance that is rushing Stuart to hospital after he was molested by the pedophiles.
