Filmed in colorful Colorado back when Trey Parker was a mere CU student like myself. I recommend watching the DVD commentary, because everyone involved with the movie is basically there, getting drunk and talking about Trey Parker's ex girlfriend who cheated on him with a guy from an a capella group.

Wonder if Trey was inspired by the student grill, named after the only convicted cannibal: Alferd G Packer.

Right wing whack jobs follow a man who once said "eat me" more or less to make a point. Packer took that point too far. When he was sentenced, the judge said

"Stand up yah voracious man-eatin' sonofabitch and receive yir sintince. When yah came to Hinsdale County, there was siven Dimmycrats. But you, yah et five of 'em, goddam yah. I sintince yah t' be hanged by th' neck ontil yer dead, dead, dead, as a warnin' ag'in reducin' th' Dimmycratic populayshun of this county. Packer, you Republican cannibal, I would sintince ya ta hell but the statutes forbid it."

So there you have it: Republicans are not thugs, but cannibals. 'Splains a lot.
