Editing Rainforest Shmainforest (section)

==Bonus Factoids==
===Public Reaction===
This episode stirred controversy in Costa Rica on February 2007 over the vulgar comments Cartman made about the living conditions of San Jose and Costa Rica, even though the episode debuted several years prior in the U.S. and Latin America. Costa Rica's Tourism Minister Carlos Benavides stated “We should look at [<i>South Park</i>] as the trash that it is. It’s a program of that nature on a network designed for people with a lowly upbringing and bad customs." 

Many environmentalists have also condemned this episode, saying that it had inspired many people to feel apathetic about the movement to protect rainforests.

===Pointless Observations===
* This is the second time Kenny survives an episode. 
* Kenny's stint with Kelly is his first taste of love. He doesn't find a girlfriend again until he meets Tammy in "[[The Ring]]"
* Throughout the episode Kelly says Kenny's name wrong numerous times, calling him Johnny, Benny, Larry, and Lenny. It is implied she has trouble understanding Kenny's muffled speech.
* Mr. Mackey speaks almost fluent Spanish, m'bien? And while Cartman doesn't know how to speak Spanish in this episode, he speaks competently in "[[My Future Self 'n' Me]]" and "[[D-Yikes!]]". 
* Cartman smacks several animals to assert his dominance. He hits a squirrel monkey, a three-toed sloth and a coral snake. Squirrel monkeys and three-toed sloths are native to Central America and therefore Costa Rica. However, the coral snake is native to North America.
