With this episode being eco-focused, I found this parallel incredibly interesting and further drives along the Randy/JFK comparison, particularly with the Japanese toilet being environmentally friendly:
Also, Randy's suit is VERY similar to the one JFK wore during his climate crisis speech😮
heres a small art dump because i haven't really drawn anything worthy of an actual post recently because I've been having severe art block lmao. but yeah sorry for taking hundreds of years to post.
Harriet: Scudworth! Hey, this is my boyfriend Confusious, and this is Confusious’s boyfriend, JFK.
Scudworth: …oh! W-wait. What’s the situation?
Harriet: What do you mean?
Scudworth: How does this work?
Harriet: Well, Confusious is bi and he’s bi for me and also bi for JFK. And JFK is bi for Confusious. And I'm just friends with JFK.
Confusious: It’s not that complicated.
JFK: Nope
Scudworth: Oh. Yeah. Sure.

Scudworth, talking to Mr B later: The thing about “youth culture” is… I don’t… I don’t understand it.
South Park's most controversial episode now is...about...toilet paper (and they make a point!?)
Summary: Stan's dad, Randy, gets a super deluxe Japanese toilet (bidet and the works). And it SEEMS to start off as his dad is bragging to the town about it. Saying he is setting a standard like the Kennedy's. Then slowly, but STEADILY leans into 'bidets (and similar toilets) have been literally proven cleaner, cheaper, safer, and better than toilet paper in every way, the world health organization refuses to do any real studies into it, let alone studies into the damages or limitations of toilet paper because it's a billion dollar industry and they control the world.' Randy gets shot...akin to JFK. When Stan goes to look into it, the entire conspiracy is unleashed, even using the real symbols of the companies guilty. In the end, Randy retracts his statement, looking at the camera, making the entire town apologize, almost as if the real creators would be killed over the episode by big toilet paper....
Randy, when told we can't just back down goes 'Bro, I got fucking shot!'
Day trip: Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation.
I've never been, and I'm trying to do more stuff I've never done in my home state.
Weiner mobile, Rosa Parks Bus (no sign indicating which seat she sat in though, the attending employee will tell you if you ask), Lincoln assassination chair. The blood is really still there. It was so much blood.
McDonald's sign, Lamys Diner, a cool blue car, JFKs presidential limo, the Reagan Presidential limo got rid of the convertible top and opted for 2 person sunroof,
Fokker Arctic exploration plane, Wright Brothers first successful plane. A half clay half metal car I thought they only made for commercials. They have so much racing history it was cool.
Food from Ford's Garage (not associated with the museum or Ford, just smart capitalization), and I got to see the sunset at a lake.
The museum has two restaurants. Lamys Diner. A traditional train car diner (love) that I did not know was really serving food until I heard clinking plates. I wanted to dine there, but it was too late by the time I realized. Also I don't eat in restaurants, cause panny.
And my punishment for enjoying myself? nails in two tires. This is why I don't go anywhere.
