In the debut episode of the 14th season, entitled Sexual Healing, EA’s upcoming golf title is shown as a recreation of Tiger Wood’s arguments with his wife over accusations of infidelity. Even the car crash which brought the scandal to public eye is depicted as a level in the EA Sports game, which later transforms in a side-on fighter.

In a report by Daily Informer, a “source” at EA explained: “Soon after the airing of the episode the top beef were called in, even Peter Moore was informed of the situation... before the episode aired the marketing folks were already worried, but now they have a lot more to worry about”.

The source added: “While I personally found the episode quite funny, there are definitely a few copyright infringements in there that I’m sure will be dealt with accordingly.”

Ehh I'd say EA is going to get bad publicity for suing south park, more so than if they did nothing.

The people who watch south park (myself included) dont take it seriously, its all a joke.

EA should be flattered that a huge platform like South Park even poked fun at them....it is after all just a joke!

lol, pretty decent episode here, but, IMO EA has turned pretty douchebaggy - esp about dropping online support for titles.
