I'd like to quote from "The Return of Heroic Failures" by Stephen Pile, published in 1988 by Penguin Books.
(Quote)THE LEAST SUCCESSFUL MEMORIAL
The building of a new staff canteen in 1977 gave the US Department of Agriculture the opportunity to commemorate a famous nineteenth-century Colorado pioneer.
Amidst a blaze of enthusiastic publicity the Agricultural Secretary, Robert Bergland, opened 'The Alfred Packer Memorial Dining Facility' with the words: "Alfred Packer exemplifies the spirit and fare that this Agriculture Department cafeteria will provide."
Several months later the cafeteria was renamed when it was discovered that Packer had been convicted of murdering and eating five prospectors in 1874. (End quote.)
How's that for an ironic twist to the story?!!! Fits right into the Troma/South Park spirit!
