here’s an example of how governments make financially related decisions nowadays…
the latest episode of south park, titled “the coon“, is (obviously) a reference to watchmen – and i’d say it’s a good one. :)
cartman is doing an impersonation of rorschach (from watchmen), complete with journal-entry-type monologues, a deep “whispering loudly” voice and a racist name1.

in southpark season 8 ep 7 “goobacks”, the terms used to classify a time portal are in reference to three very popular movies. here’s what the news reporter has to say:
“alan, i’m standing at the time portal, which scientists say follows “terminator rules”. that is, it’s one way only and you can’t go back.
this is in contrast to, say, “back to the future rules”, where back and forth is possible, and of course “time writer rules”, which are just plain silly.”
the first 15 seconds of this clip had me laughing out loud, litterally:
i wonder how many english-speaking viewers heard “australians” the first time they saw it…
