I wasn’t sure how Abe showing Kyle a bunch of people who would have pretty good lives until they turn _forty_ was supposed to cheer him up (and apparently it didn’t). ---

[QUOTE=dwc1970] The movie was “300” according to what I saw on the [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_List_%28South_Park%29) article last night, but this information has since been deleted for some reason. As an aside, do Parker and Stone themselves post their own \*\*synopses \*\*of all the South Park episodes? No way an average fan could have this information ready to post so quickly. As for Kenny’s death (from the same aforementioned link): Bebe’s stray bullet flies through the window of Kenny’s kitchen and blows out the back of his head as he sits at dinner, to the great shock of his family, who are eating Pop-Tarts. This is Kenny’s first actual death in the show since “Best Friends Forever”, which happened two seasons prior. [/QUOTE] I’m pretty sure it wasn’t 300 as that wasn’t a conspiracy movie. Plus, 300 was already spoofed in the Spring installment of season 11. The Wikipedia article, on my last check, made no reference to the movie being spoofed, but did have a “promotional poster” image that seemed to emulate a conspiracy movie… of course, the way they are posed in that poster is also similar to Cartman’s Faith + 1 album cover… ---

Abe Lincoln was a good choice to put across the beauty-isn’t-everything message – his own ugliness was part of his political persona, and something about which he made jokes in his speeches. ---

I thought it was hilarious, Kyle thinking he was ugly–since all the kids look pretty much exactly the same. I also loved the vomitting at the end. Does this mean they’re back together? I also noticed the Honda, and was proud of myself, especially since I never notice cars in TV shows or movies.
