Glad to see another parkie at the Cafe...If you want to read more, and watch the 2 episodes "In the Closet" and "the return of chef" click on ScienTOMogy and spend 42 minutes of hilarity!!
The Chef killing episode of South Park was an absolute riot. If I'm not mistaken, all of Chef's dialogue consisted of clips from previous episodes.
Hayes decided to leave the show because of its intolerance toward religion. Anyone who has watched the show from the beginning knows that it's poked fun at religion since day one (Jesus v. Santa, anyone?), so Hayes' statement was ridiculous on its face. He obviously left because they attacked his sacred cow.
P.S. I believe the "Tom Cruise applied pressure on Viacom" explanation has been denied by all involved, for whatever that's worth. (Actually, Cruise's demand was supposed to be that the Scientology episode never be aired again).
As you pointed out he obviously had no problems with making fun of all those OTHER religions. I'm wondering if Issac wasn't pressured into leaving... by the cult. Hmmmm...
what I'd heard was that Comedy Central pulled it because Cruise had threatened not to promote MI:3 if they didn't. Parker and Stone were 'forbidden' to respond to it in public as well... So they took out an ad in Variety and said this:
"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."

Funny how he didn't mind the racial slurs and jokes....'chocolate salty balls, anyone?"
Funny how he didn't mind the Jewish slurs and jokes.....
Funny how he didn't mind the bathroom humor.....
Funny how all of a sudden he got upset about Scientology....
Funny how he's going to be giving up a bunch of money, regret his decision and come back.....

Ill agree Chefs argument was alittle thin since he has already taken on just about every religion.
I thought the best cult episode that they had was the one when they became David Blaintologists which definitely had TWI parallels.

Wouldn't it be funny if L. Ron Hubbard plagerized VP-then put his twist on it?
