The episode cuts to scenes of Tiger and his wife Elin physically beating each other up, which later on appears to be a level from the new game “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11”. They also turn the car crash that first brought the scandal to the world’s attention into an action sequence, and later transform the game into a Side-On-Fighter – similar to Street Fighter IV. Hilarious, yes – however it seems as if the guys at EA Sports don’t think so.
When our source at the company contacted us, he said that “soon after the airing of the episode the top beef were called in, even Peter Moore was informed of the situation” he continued to say that “before the episode aired the marketing folks were already worried, but now they have a lot more to worry about”. Our source later goes into details about a possible lawsuit, saying that “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”.
Fair enough I suppose, if they want to go ahead and sue because they feel their copyright has been infringed upon or brought into disrepute then that's their right. Still, I don't think it's a great move from a PR standpoint and is potentially far more damaging than South Park's parody.
