Anyone else seen the offending episode? It's classic

by **DrAlex** on Sat Mar 18, 2006 1:31 pm

"There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends, and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins," Mr Hayes said in a statement. "As a civil rights activist of the past 40 years I cannot support a show that disrespects those beliefs and practices."

"This has nothing to do with intolerance and bigotry and everything to do with the fact that Isaac Hayes is a Scientologist and that we recently featured Scientology in an episode of South Park," said Matt Stone, who created the series with Trey Parker. "In 10 years and more than 150 episodes Isaac never had a problem with the show making fun of Christians, Muslims, Mormons and Jews. He got a sudden case of religious sensitivity when it was his religion featured on the show. To bring the civil rights struggle into this is just a non sequitur."

I love the episode. I always find it a bit disturbing as well when freedom of speech and the ability to satirise modern day culture gets restricted by those who can't take a joke!

In response to Tom Cruise having the episode pulled from the UK, and the re-run in the US...Trey Parker and Matt Stone released the following response:

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 bit to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!
—Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu.

Ooh, I've just found an interview with Hayes pre- the debacle. Look what he said:

"AVC: They did just do an episode that made fun of your religion, Scientology. Did that bother you?

IH: Well, I talked to Matt and Trey about that. They didn't let me know until it was done. I said, "Guys, you have it all wrong. We're not like that. I know that's your thing, but get your information correct, because somebody might believe that shit, you know?" But I understand what they're doing. I told them to take a couple of Scientology courses, and understand what we do. [Laughs.]"

That leaves me in no doubt that Hayes departed as a result of serious pressure from his church. Scientology's celebrity contingent is a major draw, and is like a cult within a cult. They've have leant massively on poor old chef.

Remember, kids, there's no such thing as safe sects.

"safe sects", ah, I love that. I had a religious education teacher in school who was obsessed with Scientology and not in a way they'd like. We basically researched the organisation for a whole semester and I've never had that much fun in my life. Anyone ever read Dianetic? It's pure class! Poor Scientology have tried to get a foot in the door in German for years, but people are just not buying it and they never managed to get the status of a religion (tay wise, that is). They must hate us...

Just so long as the Danish don't get a copy. They didn't do a very good job with the last cartoon they got hold of.

http://www.xenu.net has a download of the southpark episode in question. Enjoy. But please don't rape their bandwidth, share with friends only.

It's enough to make me completely paranoid about scientology. Not only are they a freaky brainwashing cult trying to milk people for every last cent, they're also way into trying to infilitrate hollywood and the government.

Everyone!
Get the new South Park episode now.
It is the most perfect parody about Isaac Hayes leaving about the scientology crap.

Out of interest, what makes scientology more of a cult than say, Christianity? Surely they can both equally be proven/disproven?

"South Park has exacted revenge on its former star Isaac Hayes by turning his character Chef into a paedophile and seemingly killing him off."

Because anyone can leave a Christian church - i.e. stop going to mass or whatever, and noone will chase them.

Leaving Scientology is an entirely different matter, as you can read about on websites quoted above.
