As a mocking reference to this episode, PAFCON T-Shirts have been made, bearing the image of a run-over raccoon.
At one point in the episode, Catherine makes a comment about being the victim of one of "gonzo journalist" Hunter S. Thompson's LSD flashbacks. The title of the episode, "Fur And Loathing" is a play on words on the title of one of Thompson's books, "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas."
