Do not fill this in!==Behind The Scenes== ===Where Did The Idea Come From=== The episode is inspired by reenactments of the Stations of the Cross (the depiction of the Passion of Jesus Christ) Trey saw as a child. He and Matt thought it was funny that young children at church watched and reenacted these events, especially the crucifixion of Jesus. Also, crucifying Cartman was a concept Matt and Trey long wanted to do. It was an idea they dreamed up even before <i>South Park</i> debuted. The plot element involving flatulence comes from Trey's serious belief that holding in farts can cause humans to spontaneously combust. He has seen people light their farts and create enormous fireballs, so he wouldn't be surprised if spontaneous combustion from pent up gas turned out possible.
