March 18, 200620 yr They're right about Isaac Hayes. If you're going pee on other religions and then bolt at the first sign of your beliefs being challenged then you're a big, fat hypocrite.
March 19, 200620 yr Awesome! The Mormons didn't complain when South Park made fun of them, and Christians get made fun of about every 5 episodes, but not much complaining is done there.

March 21, 200620 yr Chef is in the new episode tomorrow night. NEW YORK - "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker vowed vengeance last week in their running battle with Scientology ? and Wednesday night's new-season premiere appears to be the start. Isaac Hayes may have left the animated satire in a huff over what he described as religious "intolerance and bigotry," but his Chef character, which he's voiced since 1997, isn't forgotten. The Comedy Central cartoon begins its 10th season with an episode titled "The Return of Chef!" The character's return follows by just a few days Hayes' statement that he was quitting because he could no longer accept the show's satirical blasts at religion. Stone and Parker quickly shot back that Hayes had no problem poking fun at religions until "South Park" took on Scientology in an episode last fall. Hayes is a Scientologist. Hayes didn't return to voice the new episode, but there's widespread speculation that the mischievous Stone and Parker used creative editing of his voicing from past shows to fashion new dialogue. Comedy Central on Tuesday began running promos of the episode that featured what appeared to be Hayes' voice. According to the show's synopsis: "The town is jolted out of a case of the doldrums when Chef suddenly reappears. While Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman are thrilled to have their old friend back, they notice that something about Chef seems different. When Chef's strange behavior starts getting him in trouble, the boys pull out all the stops to save him." The show's feud with Scientology heated up further last week when, a couple of days after Hayes' blast, a scheduled rerun of an episode skewering Scientology, and famous follower Tom Cruise, was pulled without notice. A blogger site reported that Cruise had used his clout to force the episode's removal, a charge Cruise's representative denied. The next day Parker and Stone issued a statement promising more to come. Wednesday's show is the first of seven new "South Park" episodes. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060321/ap_on_...v/tv_south_park
March 21, 200620 yr wow Chef stood there the whole time and took the Christian and jew jokes but cant take a joke on scientology. Thats not even a religion
March 23, 200620 yr Awesome, I really liked how they did it. Nice jabs at Scientology and nice way to end it (the funeral part I mean) even though Chef Vader was a good ending too.
March 23, 200620 yr Author That was one of their best episodes, ever, which I don't say lightly. TV gold.
March 24, 200620 yr I really didn't like the whole idea of the episode though it had some funny parts. I really hope South Park isn't trying to head in a new direction.
March 24, 200620 yr It's not a new direction, it was what South Park always did, topical episode. This was in the recent news so they did an episode about it.
March 24, 200620 yr I really didn't like the whole idea of the episode though it had some funny parts. I really hope South Park isn't trying to head in a new direction. Well they had to get rid of Chef one way or another. What better way to do it then by making fun of a stupid cult?

I knew that episode was necessary, but I just hope they stop making fun of scientologists. The show is supposed to make fun of stuff, it's not supposed to be political.
