The college students of America turned to Comedy Central last night with the return of the highly popular South Park. South Park kicked off its 14th season with an episode titled "Sexual Healing," which focused on the Tiger Woods storyline.
After the Tiger story breaks, the Center for Disease Control ponders why powerful and wealthy men like Woods have turned to affairs. In the end, high profile sex addicts like Tiger Woods, David Letterman, Bill Clinton, and Ben Roethlisberger find that a "wizard alien" must have cast a spell on men to compel them to engage in such acts, since they could not believe that their behavior played a role.
Check out the episode here. South Park posts all of their new episodes online for free, so you can check it out (legally) streaming on their site.

Welcome to Tiger Parking Slam.

The newest installment of "Tiger Woods PGA Tour" was released on eight consoles on August 28th.
