Do not fill this in!==Pop Culture References== ===Shout Outs=== Hooked on Monkey Fonics is a parody of the educational brand Hooked on Phonics, which gained popularity in the '90s for home-school parents. The brand relies on phonics, a method that teaches reading and writing of the English language through phonetics. When Kyle talks to Rebecca about young love and reaching a "flicker of light", this is a direct reference to the ''Star Trek'' episode "The Gamesters of Triskelion", when Captain Kirk sweet talks an equally sheltered alien woman named Shahna. The heavy metal band Dio performs its 1983 hit song "Holy Diver" during the school dance. The name of the school dance is "South Park Elementary Bay of Pigs Memorial Dance". It is named after The Bay of Pigs Invasion, a failed attempt on April 1961 to overthrow the new Cuban government of Fidel Castro by CIA-trained Cuban exiles and the US armed forces. Beaches on the real Bay of Pigs on the southern coast of Cuba were used as landing sites. ===Pwn'd=== When Mark rolls into Garrison's class in his hamster ball, Cartman says "Dude, what's wrong with you? Do you have some kind of John Travolta disease?" This is a reference to 1976 film ''The Boy in the Plastic Bubble'', in which John Travolta plays a boy with an ineffective immune system who lived in a sterile bubble.
