Roethlisberger gets animated; interview still unscheduled

Ben Roethlisberger's battered public image took another hit Wednesday when the Steelers QB was lampooned on the season premiere of "South Park."

The 28-year-old appeared, along with President Bill Clinton, Michael Jordan and David Letterman, at a meeting for sex addicts in an episode inspired by the Tiger Woods scandal. After hearing fourth-grader Butters discuss how he could not keep his mind off a certain part of the female anatomy, the animated Roethlisberger responds, "I heard that!"

Later, when asked by the sex addiction counselor how to avoid getting caught, Cartoon Ben said, "Don't [have sex with] girls in the public bathrooms." You can watch the clip here (but don't do it at work).

A Georgia College and State University sophomore accused Roethlisberger of sexual assault following an early morning encounter in a Milledgeville Bar nearly two weeks ago. Milledgeville Police and the GBI have been pursuing a second interview with the Pittsburgh quarterback but his lawyers have not yet made him available.

Authorities also hope to speak with Andrea McNulty, who accused Roethlisberger of sexual assault in a civil suit filed last year in Nevada. The quarterback denied the allegation.

"They need information from us, and frankly we need information from them, so I will make a decision on how to proceed as the need arises," Calvin Dunlap, McNulty's attorney, told KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh.

Roethlisberger continues to lie low, skipping offseasons workouts with his teammates and withdrawing from an upcoming celebrity pro-am golf tournament, according to TMZ.
