Or is that GTA IV?

If you were to assemble mainstream culture’s naughtiest elements and make them stand together in a corner, GTA and South Park would be sure to meet. Both are superficially-but-not-really for children, after all, and both are hysterically obscene.

The two paired up in last night's episode of South Park. The plot satirises the beginnings of Christianity and Hitler’s rise to power, with Randy Marsh deifying the economy and Cartman denouncing the Jews (Kyle) in order to obtain a copy of Chinatown Wars – or GTA IV as he erroneously calls it at one point.

This isn’t the first time South Park has featured handheld gaming. During the episode 'Best Friends Forever' Kenny is killed by God after he reaches level 60 on PSP game Heaven versus Hell so that he can help fend off Satan’s armies.

Blasphemy and handheld gaming? Amen to that.
