What a hypocrite.

3/13/2006 8:02:06 PM

they've brainwashed him, too.

3/13/2006 8:07:00 PM

i hate scientologists more than i hate herb sendek

3/13/2006 8:08:05 PM

Scientology is going to be the end of all goodness in this world.

Chef goes nanners

What a fucking chump.

I didn't see you complaining after the mormons episode, jackass. Or the three catholic ones (that come to mind).

Or Jew Camp. "The Catholic Boat" as well. I think that was the same episode where they insinuated the Catholic Church was controlled by a Great Talking Spider inside the Vatican.

And, of course, Red Sleigh Down, where they actually kill Jesus.

3/13/2006 9:05:50 PM

Also, the episode that started the fucking show, with the wrestling match between Jesus and Santa.

3/13/2006 9:27:11 PM

Also, the Super Best Friends.

Also, basically, the whole fucking show.

God damn I hate scientologists.

""South Park" co-creator Matt Stone responded sharply in an interview with The Associated Press Monday, saying, "This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology... He has no problem — and he's cashed plenty of checks — with our show making fun of Christians.""

Quote :

"Stone told The AP he and co-creator Trey Parker "never heard a peep out of Isaac in any way until we did Scientology. He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin.""

pretty much sums it all up

gg trey and matt

3/13/2006 9:30:56 PM

gg indeed. I'm glad they didn't resort to the par for the course tongue holding that is expected from the entertainment industry.

Ideally they should keep Chef on the show and have him be voiced by an incredibly femme man and make him the laughingstock (relatively speaking) of at least one show.

ISAAC HAYES PUTS THE HIP IN HYPORCITE

[Edited on March 13, 2006 at 9:49 PM. Reason : remember when they made a joke comparing finding the clitoris to finding Jesus]

3/13/2006 9:49:02 PM

Tom Cruise probably threatened him

3/13/2006 10:00:57 PM

its gonna be great where there are two hollywoods

and the religious right steps in

because i think they'd rather live in a world where homosexuality is promoted more than THETANS

3/13/2006 10:06:25 PM

I seem to recall reading that Hayes was fine with them poking fun at scientologists a while back.

3/13/2006 10:17:58 PM

i don't recall him being in that episode

3/13/2006 10:21:58 PM

I think Scientology probably corrected his error

3/13/2006 10:22:17 PM

more like

that was the thetans speaking

3/13/2006 10:23:12 PM

you know, whatever

isaac hayes wants to quit, that's cool

i've enjoyed the chef character for a good long while, and i wouldn't hold a grudge against him for feeling uncomfortable about having his faith being made fun of

3/13/2006 10:23:20 PM

Superfly Soundtrack = GOOD
Chef leaving Southpark cause he's a religious pussy = BAD

3/13/2006 10:26:09 PM

PLEASE

IF ANYONE FROM SOUTH PARK IS READING

BRING HIS PARENTS BACK TO TRY AND FIND HIM

HIS PARENTS ARE THE BEST SHIT EVER

I NEED ABOUT TREE FIDDY

3/13/2006 10:26:14 PM

TREE FIDDY

3/13/2006 10:26:46 PM

Well Aren't You Crackas just as cute as the dickens?

It'd be different if he just came out and said, "I'm tired of them talking junk about my religion." I don't watch the show much at all anymore because I've been offended myself. But to claim that this is all in the interest of some high level of religious tolerance is obviously crap.

3/13/2006 10:41:18 PM

it's what he has to say though

he can't say, "well, it's ok to make fun of other religions, but mine... no sir"

yeah, he's a hypocrite douche, but who isn't?

3/13/2006 10:43:18 PM

I hope that they do another episode about scientology after this.

3/13/2006 10:44:02 PM

oh, you can bet they're going to make some kind of episode about this

they just HAVE TO

3/13/2006 10:44:45 PM

some of the stuff i've laughed most about with south park mocks my religion

3/13/2006 10:46:29 PM

if he doesnt like it he can just walk on by...foolish pride...is all that he has left so...

3/13/2006 10:54:49 PM

The question is...will there be an episode parodying this?

3/13/2006 11:00:46 PM

i would guess there would but who knows

those crazy SP creators

3/13/2006 11:01:14 PM

Terrance or Philip quitting their show because they wanted to make fun of belching.

3/13/2006 11:07:33 PM

Cutris Mayfield did the Superfly soundtrack.

3/13/2006 11:11:14 PM

That monster came up to me

oh yeah....and what did it say

he said, give me tree fiddy

dont give no damn monster no tree fiddy woman

3/13/2006 11:13:01 PM

and then i noticed this girl scout was a 3 story tall crustacean from the mesozoic era

and i said "HEY, DAMMIT MONSTA, I AIN'T GIVING YOU NO G'DAMN TREE FIDDY"

3/13/2006 11:15:20 PM

^^^yeah i noticed i had fucked up then posted some lyrics to "Walk On By"

3/13/2006 11:24:40 PM

those scientologists are some crazy motherfu--
--SHUT YOUR MOUTH
...i'm just talking about thetans

3/13/2006 11:26:28 PM

I cannot get over how fucking sad this is.

3/13/2006 11:29:04 PM

I can't remember the last episode I actually saw Chef in.

3/13/2006 11:42:08 PM

as long as they don't bring back Mr. Durpt

3/13/2006 11:44:04 PM

This is a tragedy.

3/14/2006 12:08:10 AM

what the fuck can they do?

keep chef and change the voice actor? they were able to get away with it before when the woman who committed suicide because her characters weren't that prominent. people will notice a different chef.

3/14/2006 12:09:31 AM

the episode where they get brainwashed by david blaine and Jesus has a magic-trick contest with him is on UPN right now

"ok, now...now...now turn around"

3/14/2006 12:41:51 AM

It's too bad that Lou Rawls and Barry White are dead. One of them could've picked it up for an episode or two just to give it to Isaac Hayes.

3/14/2006 12:47:45 AM

holy shit

south park did muhammed first

he has a turban and the power of flame

3/14/2006 12:48:55 AM

Chef will probably get a condition that makes him talk like a white woman

3/14/2006 3:08:07 AM

It would be genius if Chef just talked like tom cruise from now on. Suggesting that they are in cahoots, and further making fun of scientology.

3/14/2006 6:11:14 AM

i seriously doubt they'll keep the character without the voice.
They'll probably find some gruesome way to kill him off, all the while still making fun of scientology.
Chef is no longer a critical part of the show (if he ever was). They have enough supporting cast members now to do fine without him.
