Editing Die Hippie, Die (section)

===Pointless Observations===
Butters' mother is apparently an engineer (although we have previously seen her working at a telemarketing office in "Jared Has Aides").  There's also a flashback of Stan's parents circa 1969, attending the acid-soaked Woodstock Music Festival.  This is the first episode where we see Stan playing guitar, although it looks as if he's still learning the chords.  He will master the process in "Smug Alert".

A wealth of information is revealed about hippies.  They usually live in colonies, have no money, and are deathly afraid of "the corporations."   More specifically, they come in three types:  "Giggling Stoners," a pretty common form usually found in attics; "Drum Circle Hippies," which usually form colonies if not treated; and worst of all, the "College Know It All Hippies."  Cartman states that he's been keeping the town free of hippies since he was 5-1/2 years old.

The bumper sticker on the hippie's car reads: "My karma ran over your Dogma."  There's also a modified Jesus Fish with two little legs sprouting from it, labeled "Darwin." 

Finally, we learn that Chef (who speaks newly recorded dialogue for the last time in this episode) is a member of South Park's city council and is responsible for public safety. 

The hippies regularly call Cartman "Little Eichmanns." It's a nod to University of Colorado-Boulder professor Ward Churchill, author of a paper asserting that the US provoked the 9/11 attacks.  He called the victims Little Eichmanns, after Nazi holocaust architect Adolf Eichmann.

When Mayor McDaniels realizes that signing a permit for the concert unleashed a hippie holocaust, she presses a large-caliber handgun to her head and fires, splattering a nearby wall with blood and brain matter. But a few scenes later she's back on her feet, sporting a head bandage covering still-bleeding entrance and exit wounds.
