I'm not accusing the filmmaker of ripping off the game... it's entirely possible be came up with this design on his own. Still, the resemblance is worth noting.

They could easily have shown him holding a more appropriately phallic baseball bat. Wooden, no less. Either way, it's not like I'll actually see the film, but it's important to point out when Hollywood thinks it's being funny and falls flat. #3 the poster would make much more sense if the film was called Mr. Woodballs.

Certainly the “balls suggestive of massive testicles” gag couldn’t have been an original invention of the South Park guys, and what what visual would one expect from a movie about a coach named “Woodcock” (get it?).
