Description

After watching the opening ceremonies of the recent Olympic games, Cartman is sure that the Chinese are just days away from invading America, but he can't get anyone to listen to him because the entire country is haunted by the tragic rape of someone near and dear to them. Only Butters will stand with Cartman as he confronts the Chinese.

Pop Culture References

• The entirety of the episode is based around the poor reception of the fourth Indiana Jones film "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (2008), at least from Indy fans. Since in the general terms, the film received mixed reviews.
• The rape scenes involving Indy, Lucas, and Speilberg are allusions to the films "Boys Don't Cry" (1999), "The Accused" (1988), and "Deliverance" (1972).
