Jennifer Lopez's Alleged Taco-Joke Firings

In 2003, Jennifer Lopez reportedly reacted angrily to her portrayal in South Park's "Fat Butt and Pancake Head," which featured Cartman's hand impersonating her and singing "Taco-Flavored Kisses." Five months after the episode aired, co-creator Trey Parker said friends working on one of Lopez's film sets told him that production assistants repeatedly called out, "Ooh tacos, I love tacos," whenever she passed. According to Parker's secondhand account, Lopez became so angry that she fired some of those involved, although other workers continued repeating the joke from a distance.
