Isaac Hayes quits ‘South Park’ after spoof on Scientologists
Creator says ‘he’s cashed plenty of checks with our show making fun of Christians’

Outspoken Scientologist Isaac Hayes, an Oscar-winning singer heard by millions in recent years as the “Chef” character on “South Park,” has quit the cartoon four months after an episode spoofing Scientology.

“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,” the 63-year-old soul singer said in a statement.

I understand when this cartoon made fun of Christianity, he still collected a paycheck.
 
Oh well, I’m sure they’d be able to find someone else to replace him.

Yep and Mormonism too… As a matter of fact I think that the makers of South Park have been pretty even-handed about insulting all religions. Hmm… Come to think of it; they’ve done episodes enough to insult just about everyone.
 
My favorite was when one of the kids left his Catholic church and started his own church. He instantly started pronouncing the Lord’s name “JAY-sus!” and started doing altar calls and faith healing for his new followers.

Soon the other kids found him rolling around on a pile of money and they all went back to the real Church.

Hahaha, yeah, that was Cartman… That was a funny episode.
 
So Mr Hayes was okay when SouthPark made nasty fun of others’ faiths, but when they set their sites on HIS cult…'er “religion” NOW they’ve crossed a line?

I will attempt to spell… BWAAA-HAA-HAAA… :rotfl:

HYPOCRITES AT “SOUTH PARK” AND SHOWTIME

Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented today on the news that Isaac Hayes has quit “South Park” because of an episode that attacked his religion, the Church of Scientology:

“It is nothing short of amazing to read that ‘South Park’ co-creator Matt Stone is now charging Isaac Hayes with ‘intolerance and bigotry’ for not complaining earlier about all the shows ‘South Park’ did ‘making fun of Christians.’ Forget about Hayes—the real issue here is the two-faced, super-bratty response from Stone. For him to lecture Hayes on intolerance and bigotry is on the order of John Gotti lecturing Curtis Sliwa on ethics. After all, it was on ‘South Park’ last year that they depicted the Virgin Mary spraying blood from her vagina. How would Stone know anything about tolerance?

“And now we learn that Stone and his buddy Trey Parker were moved to take a shot at Scientology because they were ticked off that their equally foul-mouthed friend, Penn Jillette, was banned from ripping Scientology on his crude Showtime series, ‘Bulls - - t.’ Forget about Stone and Parker—the real issue here is the cowardly, hypocritical response from Jillette. Last year, Jillette went on a rampage against Mother Teresa calling her ‘Mother F- - king Teresa.’ Yet this same big oaf hasn’t got the guts to slam Scientologists for fear of upsetting his bigoted boss, Sumner Redstone (he is chairman of Viacom, which owns Showtime). As for Redstone, he wrote to me last August defending Jillette’s assault on Mother Teresa saying ‘we as an organization are committed to artistic freedom.’ Not when it comes to Scientologists—their penchant for filing lawsuits scares the daylights out of him.

“What does it take to get the New York-Hollywood gang to stop with their Catholic bashing? Threats of beheadings? Threats of lawsuits? Seems that way. What ever happened to common decency?”

Scientology was invented by a Sci-Fi writer (L. Ron Hubbard) That alone is proof of its lack of authenticity. 😃

Replace the one and only voice of Chef? And of course the one and only voice of Shaft way before that? I don’t think so …

Say it ain’t so, Isaac, say it ain’t so! :crying:
 
I can’t understand WHY the public watches such trash!!!:confused:

I just don’t get it. For all the liberals talk about tolerance this and tolerance that…

Wonder what they’d do if someone made a show that did nothing but make fun of and bash gays???

Oh, THAT would be unacceptable. :rolleyes:

South Park (which I love in its non-blasphemous moments) regularly makes fun of and bashes gays, feminists, conservatives, liberals, Satan, everyone! - it truly is equal opportunity in that it mercilessly pokes fun equally at everyone.

I wouldn’t know, I’ve never watched it.

I guess I just get turned off at all the “making fun of…” going on on TV.

Fair enough comment, I don’t really watch much tv anyways other than documentaries and the occasional movie, but I did get hooked on South Park early.
 
I never desired to watch South Park but was on a long bus ride and someone put the movie on. It was disgusting. The scenes I remember the most involved satan and Hitler in bed together, jokes about their sex life and a cartoon male member. It’s not funny; it’s revolting.

Not only is it vile, but it also attacks our faith. I cannot understand why any person of faith would continue to watch it even if they thought parts of it were funny.

Sometimes turning the other cheek means you get walked on. Christ gaves us ways to live in peace, but not all religions have that philosophy. And Christianity is one of about three things that it is still ok to bash and mock, the other two that I can think of being white men and overweight people.

At least now I know that Isaac Hayes is a hypocrite.

Careful ElizabethAnne, your nose is so high in the air I can see up it. Saint Augustine understood human nature a little better than you do - he wrote ‘give me salvation, Lord … just not yet!’ And Saint Teresa of Avila said to one of her nuns who left a party in disgust … ‘you go to your cell and contemplate God there … we’ll make merry with Him here’.

God created us in his own image - most people can survive the occasional (tasteless) joke against themselves. I believe the Church is big enough and stable enough to do the same, as is my own faith in God. As for South Park - did you see how mercilessly the movie attacked Canadians? And gays? And the military? And figureskating? They were in no way singling out religion.

That wasn’t very nice. :nope:

I guess you can include me in that comment because I feel the same way Elizabeth Anne does.
