"A Million Little Fibers" is the fifth episode in the tenth season of the American animated television series South Park.
The episode focuses on Towelie and parodies the controversy over the book A Million Little Pieces, an infamous novelistic memoir by James Frey that was lauded by Oprah Winfrey on her talk show until it was revealed to be largely fabricated.
It was intended as season ten's "bank episode", meaning it was partially produced in advance to allow for time off during the actual production run.
Mobs congregate to protest wildly; Oprah invites Towelie back on the show, saying that he can explain that he wanted to make the book more relevant and easily understandable.
Towelie, using his inherent flatness, manages to free the hostages, as police open fire on Oprah, leading to the death of Gary.
Distraught at his death, Minge blames Oprah for not spending time with them before turning the gun on himself and commits suicide.
It was intended to be a spoof of the television series Intervention, with the people of South Park trying to get Towelie into rehab.
'"[4] "A Million Little Fibers", along with the thirteen other episodes from South Park's tenth season, was released on a three-disc DVD set in the United States on August 21, 2007.
The set includes brief audio commentaries by series co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone for each episode.
