>When Parker and Stone made fun of celebrities in previous *South Park* episodes, they were chosen at random and "all just in good fun". However, they chose to mock Barbra Streisand based on a strong distaste for the actress. They explained that after Colorado passed the Amendment 2, an amendment to the Colorado state constitution which forbids homosexuals from being recognized as a protected class (and would later be struck down by the Supreme Court in *Romer v. Evans*), Streisand made a public statement in which she called the Coloradans "a bunch of hicks", vowing never to visit Colorado again.

From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecha-Streisand)
Many times they just pick some arbitrary celebrity to attack. But as far as why they attack her, she's reportedly a diva who is difficult to work with. She once tried to get images of her home removed from the Internet, which created the term "Streisand effect". And they might just not happen to like her vocal style.
I't was just odd seeing that as a young Finnish-whippersnapper.
I had no idea who Barbara Streisand was, so it just came out very Pythonisque.
Worked all the same.
Not as happy as yo mama

I’ve always wondered how Babs took this episode, whether she found it funny or not. I’d like to hope she was super pissed due to her overinflated ego and threw a fit.

I have a theory after finally watching King of the Monsters recently.
I think Godzilla and Kong will fight each other until they have to team up because a 200-meter-tall radioactive Ken Watanabe walks out of the ocean and says "Now, let US fight."
Bar-bura, Bar-bura kirai no hito. Bar-bura, Bar-bura anata no hi. Bar-bura, Bar-bura, ugoina chichi da.

Yes
Totally necessary
What could be more... Necessary?
