Parents Need To Know

Positive Messages
Any attempts at positive messages and redemption of the characters is overwhelmed by inappropriate attempts at humor. Some Asian stereotyping and jokes about disabled people.
Positive Role Models & Representations
Violence
An elderly man in a portable potty is kicked down a snowy hill. He emerges covered in excrement and freezes that way; deer come along and lick the excrement-laden man until he's thawed, and the deer have excrement on their teeth. Same elderly man falls from a tree.
Sex
Frequent crude humor, potty jokes. A woman has three breasts for no discernible reason other than to use the image as a recurring sight gag. Sexual innuendo. A drunk man who nearly gets into his car to drive home is prevented from doing so by the police; the man claims he's pretending to say goodnight to the car and engages in pelvic thrusts to the car's trunk. Two male police officers are handcuffed so it looks like they're in a sexual position. Reference made to a "morning erection." An elderly man's naked rear end is exposed, covered in thick white hair.
Language
Frequent profanity: "crap," "bulls--t," "bite me," "butthole." The lead character makes a joke at the expense of an overweight child; another joke is made about a transgender woman. Middle-finger gesture. Reference to a "morning erection." Sexual innuendo involving the word "melons."
Consumerism
In scenes set in a mall, all the stores are mentioned by name: Foot Locker, Sharper Image, Body Shop, and at least 12 others. Many of these store's mascots come to life and offer advice and wisdom to the lead characters.
Education Value
Ease of Play
Privacy
Lead character frequently abuses alcohol, resulting in disorderly behavior, interactions with the police, and near drunk-driving. Joke referencing crack cocaine.
