That's the disappointing thing for me with South Park. The creators are obviously very clever and funny and can create some brilliant satire. Unfortunately they're also obsessed with toilet humor and being offensive for its own sake.
A perfect example for me was they made an episode years ago that lampooned anime that I found (as an anime fan) absolutely hysterical, until some poor kid lost his eye and was dumped in a dog pound alone, where the dogs proceeded to pee on him. I had to leave the room my friends were watching the show in literally shaking with anger and revulsion.
A couple people at work have Stick of Truth and really like it. Cnet gave it an amazing review and said that in terms of game play it's like an old school RPG with the turn bases and needing to have the right equipment and clothes and that it ties into the series really well.
But it's South Park, which I liked when it first came out and then it's steadily gotten to the point where I couldn't enjoy it. Although not as bad as Family Guy which I just...I can't.

Romo shares his Panic with the fleet! That drops another civvie in Sector 4. Romo may then activate an RSV. Sector 4's getting a bit crowded now, better make some room.
Romo moves an RSV from Sector 4 to Sector 3.
Now for his regular action. I have orders from Romo:
Reveal Loyalty card: YOU ARE A CYLON
It should've been obvious, really. "Romo" was actually an acronym, "Rise Of the Machine Order". Morale falls by 1 as Romo destroys the previously spotless reputation of laywers everywhere! Keeping it all in the political family, he passes his other loyalty card to Apollo. He then moves to the Resurrection Ship, there to discard down to 3 cards and receive a Super Crisis.
That concludes Romo's turn. Hot Dog's cards are going out. Hot Dog, once Romo has posted his discards, please post your move and action.
BSG
That was quick. Romo's discards are:
Force Their Hand 0
Consolidate Power 1
Consolidate Power 2
Investigative Committee 3
Quick Thinking 0
Repair 2
Repair 2
Bait 0

Son of ...
That last check, I all but ruled you out, despite several suspicions from earlier. The 1 card played seemed to buck the evidence of the spike. Ugg. I *was* right... then I was wrong! Hate that.
That being said, then someone partially spiked.
Ugg. Clearly I'm no Sherlock Holmes! At best, maybe Watson.
BSG (Zarek)
Godsdammit. WELL, that means either Baltar or Hot Dog is the other Cylon. There were six negative cards in that check. 2 from Destiny, 1 from Romo, and 3 from either Baltar or Hot Dog.
BSG (Baltar)
Or Cally played a low green card to allow her to play a higher Purple or Blue. Or someone had non-Cylon reasons to want this check to fail.
Or Athena did spike with the Yellows she drew in the President's Office and/or the Greens that have been part of her regular Draw (way too quick to rule her out, Admiral Z)
BSG (Cally)
Or Zarek spiked it.... Let's not forget that option.
Yeah, lots of possibilities.
