*The term "ManBearPig" has become a [[political neologism]] that skeptics on conservative political blogs frequently use in place of "global warming." Sometimes "ManBearPig" is also used as a substitute for Al Gore himself.{{fact}} ManBearPig is shown above Gore in [[Al Gore's Penguin Army video scandal|Al Gore's Penguin Army]], a video posted on [[YouTube]] and presented as an amateur effort, which was later proved to have been made by [[DCI Group]], a Republican marketing firm tied to [[ExxonMobil]]. It is unknown whether the makers of South Park authorized DCI Group to use the image.
*The boys visit the [[Cave of the Winds (Colorado)|Cave of the Winds]], which is an attraction near [[Colorado Springs, Colorado|Colorado Springs]]. This is the second episode based around a visit to a real-life Colorado ___location (the first being "[[Casa Bonita (South Park episode)|Casa Bonita]]"). It might be noted, however, that the real Cave of the Winds entrance is near the rim of William's Canyon, with no sizeable rivers uphill. (The nearest is Fountain Creek)
*The crisis of the boys getting trapped by the cave-in, as well their appearance at their own funeral, is reminiscent of the events in ''[[The Adventures of Tom Sawyer]]'', where Tom and Becky Thatcher are lost in a cave. There is also gold hidden in that cave, the stolen property of Injun Joe.
