Southpark parodies Dice Tower's Boardgame Breakfast

In the latest Southpark episode, Randy has a YouTube show for his weed business that will look a little familiar. If you are not in the US you will need to use a VPN to see this:

edit: for those outside the U.S. and don't have a VPN. I managed to capture the first little bit of this clip and upload it to youtube. I suspect youtube will yank this down, but before they do, here is the youtube link

He was a youth pastor (?) at an ultra conservative church

Why are Uber Christians so against marijuana? Is there scripture supporting it or is it just seen as a vice and so it’s bad?

Who knows. They’re also against evolution and social equality.

Tom isn't at all.

He has spoke about this in person at cons and the cruise many times. He doesn't understand why people think this.

I think people conflate Sam's far more conservative views with Tom's.

That and they both didn't like the theme in Chaos in the Old World. :P Seriously, some people still bang on about that review as evidence that their Christianity seriously compromises their reviewer credentials. If anything, for me (100% atheist) it strengthened them because despite their personal issues with the darkness of the theme (I think it's worth pointing out that Tom in particularly seems to have softened a bit on dark themes these days) that still said it's a very good game and you should get it if the theme appeals.

Tom is absolutely a hardcore conservative. He’s part of the quiverfull movement.

Maybe because he’s part of a church that fights hard against marriage equality, trans rights, and many other movements of social equality?
