As with many South Park storylines, "Insecurity" began with a misunderstanding of Three's Company proportions as Ike mistook his parents' sexual roleplaying for his mother banging the UPS man; a simple slip-up, but one that would ignite an explosion of problems for Wolf Home Security -- and, in a more literal sense, for the aforementioned UPS man.
