Talk:The Ring (South Park)

Episode

please at least wait for the episode to end before writing the article this time people

Who wrote this article? It has more simple sentences than a fourth grade essay. Mr2b (talk) 04:57, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Conan thinks your article is weak. --32.147.203.179 (talk) 06:04, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

The episode ended about 4 hours ago...by Wikipedia standards, this article is late. I expanded and improved the plot summary, and I created the template for Season 13; hopefully now the article will be satisfactory to most people.--Antodav2007 (talk) 06:24, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

HiDef

Why does it say this was the first episode to be produced in high definition? A few years ago there was a HD version of Good Times with Weapons available on Xbox Live, and the entire 12th season is available on BluRay. 62.220.2.102 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:07, 12 March 2009 (UTC).

You dolt. They only ever said it was the first HD episode to be BROADCAST. BROOOOAAAD CAAAASSSST.

Yeesh. Calm down, friend. It's an honest mistake. 68.14.133.151 (talk) 01:28, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

It depends, however, if any season 12 episodes (or any others for that matter) ran in HD before Wednesday. Socby19 (talk) 20:48, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Fan Reaction

"I don't watch it either, but I did this one time because they would be on it. I will never watch that show again! Basically, all I can tell you was it was really, really disgusting. They made fun of them in sort of a subtle way. It made me extremely angry to see them portraying the fans as how they did, because we do NOT act like how they showed us. I'm not going to explain because its nasty. I think every one expected this... but I really, really hope the boys didn't see that episode."

This is a quote from the front page of http://the-jonas-brothers.com. I'd love to include this in the article somehow, or something about reaction from the Jonas Brothers fanbase. But I doubt this quote is notable enough or able to be cited. What do you guys think? --— Hunter Kahn _(contribs) 18:32, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

"I'm not going to explain because its nasty." I think a troll. Then again i also think this makes the episode that more funny. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.208.154.249 (talk) 19:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Valhalla Reference

Was the giant mickey in reference to something? The reporter mentioned that Mickey would return to Valhalla to rest and feed. Is this a reference to a particular mythological creature? I am not very familiar with Norse mythology. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.47.22.43 (talk) 17:28, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Not to my knowledge - I think it was just aimed at being funny. Richard BB 19:02, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

I think it was meant to compare Mickey to idol worshipped deities. Fractyl (talk) 22:22, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Foam

You know the "spraying hot foam" thing? IT'S REAL. WTF!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfgqEiXW-OU 71.59.101.148 (talk) 20:13, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

• Doesn't seem so, I've been keeping an eye out for it. — Hunter Kahn _(contribs) 00:59, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Wow, you mean they actually haven't sued yet? I would've thought this would've just been the whole scientology thing all over again.The Great Morgil (talk) 02:43, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Why nominate it so soon?

I didn't make an issue of this on the GA review page for this article, because I don't know how to do it properly, but this article is a bit biased. Check the theme section; it sounds as though the article is agreeing with the content of the episode. There's nothing wrong with quoting a journalist's opinion on the episode, but the article itself should remain completely neutral. There's no deadline to have this pass GA, so slow down people. --Whip it! ^{Now whip it good!} 03:40, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

• I nominated it because I feel it's ready right now, but in response to your concerns, I added some language to the areas you are discussing, and citations to the top section. If you still feel it's a problem, you can raise those concerns in the GAN review when somebody takes it on, which I understand will be soon. Either they'll be addressed or, if during the review it's determined that it isn't ready, then it won't pass and we'll move on from there. — Hunter Kahn _(contribs) 18:18, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Brent Bozell

His opinions should NOT be mentioned in this article. He's not a real TV critic, he's a blogger and an insanely biased one at that. On Obama policy articles, would we post the opinions of the KKK? Why are we doing it for Bozell? --208.38.59.163 (talk) 15:24, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

And knowing is...

Cartman says "And knowing is half the battle." I've heard something like this used in a MADtv skit. Most of the Krumpin ones have Noodles and Nippy saying "And knowing is half the Krump!" Now, knowing MADtv, this could be a reference to something else, but I'm not sure what. Does anyone know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.3.45.72 (talk) 22:32, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

it's from the old transformers cartoons in which nearly every episode would end with the sentence "And knowing is half the battle" Ultamatecharizard (talk) 19:01, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
