I have watched that show for years and still Tivo old episodes so I can have a good laugh after a crappy day at work. I totally agree that they have been making fun of Christians for a long time, and Judiasm especially. Think of all the streotypical Jewish jokes about Kyle. Suddenly they poke fun of Scientology and he gets mad.

I suspect that he was talked into this by others more than he really cared himself. If the show aired last fall, it was created last summer, but yet he takes until this spring to quit over it?... hmmm, sounds like he had a bunch of people in his ear talking up the situation to get him to quit 6 months after the show was created (and he probably willingly participated at the time).

Sorry about the rant, but that is sad he is quitting once his religion got made fun of on a single episode after all the crude jokes about other religions throughout the years.

I agree.

in best Chef voice Awe, what's wrong Isaac?

South Park will not be the same

so it turns out they've pulled the episode
------

While the "South Park" creators didn't directly comment on Comedy Central's decision to pull the episode, they issued an unusual statement to Daily Variety indicating the battle is not over.

"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!"

The duo signed the statement "Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu."

I figured Matt and Trey weren't gonna drop the issue with just that odd press statement, and if you saw the new season premiere tonight, things obviously got pretty brutal for Mr. Hayes' former character and the thinly analagous "club" he joined. As much as I enjoy South Park's lambasting of this shady, manipulative organization, the real beauty is how the satire of tonight's episode clearly aims at the cult without mentioning them in any way. This is important because the Church of Scientology has always used accusations of slander and libel to keep critics in check, but South Park and its creators are untouchable from tonight's episode because all their satire has "plausable deniability". They never said the words "Scientology", "Church" or "L.Ron Hubbard", and the voice fragments they edited to create chef's appearance tonight are the property of the show so Isaac Hayes can not contest their use. Despite equating these lunatics with what is usually considered to be the most reviled figure in society, the pedophile, and writing an ending that allows them to lambast both Hayes and Scientology for as long as the like, they are completely bulletproof. You can rest assured that the mindwashed masses at the celebrity center are so pissed they're eating their own faces by now.
Super Sweet.
