The backlash from that Tom Cruise scientology episode was retarded. Scientology isn't a religion, it's a tax exempt mafia.

If hayes did this before he recorded that episode, I might believe him. As-is, I think someone in the church pressured him in one way or another to leave.

This is exactly what I think happened. In interviews after the episode came out, his attitude was basically "well, this is what South Park is, everyone gets theirs eventually." The church got to him and forced him to quit.

They better, I don't want to hear any other voice coming out of Chef's mouth. Isaac Hayes is Chef and if he's gone then Chef should be gone.

However I do hope they find a way to bring back Chef's parents into the show. Maybe they can move back from Scotland after Chef dies and take over his role in the show.

I'm sure it'll be even more off the wall than that. I wouldn't be surprised if they kill Chef, and Isaac Hayes in the same episode.

What a nutbag. How does Isaac Hayes of all people become a Scientologist. Doesn't seem to fit the profile we see of him.

I didn't mean that Jews don't bitch about being made fun of or that all Christians are uptight assholes or anything. What I meant is that you see Jewish entertainers making fun of themselves far more than you see Christians do.

Then again, Jewish entertainers usually love to point out that they're Jewish far more than anyone else, also.

One thing that annoys me are stand-up acts. Most don't actually tell jokes anymore, they just point out common experiences and I guess simply finding something the audience can relate to is supposed to be "funny." They played this clip on the radio where this guy was talking about going to the gym, and how he got winded on the treadmill and how his trainer was pointing out girls asses. And the crowd ate it up.

There's so little true wit out there.

It's one thing to believe in God from being raised that way. I highly doubt Isaac Hayes was born into scientology. He made a conscious adult decision to get involved with these loonies. He just didn't seem in the same class of moron as Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

But maybe I'm giving him a little too much credit.

I really very much doubt there's a Woody Allen out there to his Nicholas Colasanto.

Chef is kidnapped by Tom Cruise. The boys go to rescue him and find that Chef has been brain washed! So much so that his voice is different. The only way to free Chef, is to kill him. Thus is the circle of life.

Aliens turn Chef into a clam. The clam is then kept in a tank in the classroom, in case Hayes ever decides to come back. Doesn't permanantly burn any bridges, and still gets a Scientology joke in (albiet one that isn't as obvious as Tom Cruise going nuts).

On Opie and Anthony today they played some audio from a recent interview they did with Hayes. They asked him about the scientology episode, and they said that it would be silly to get bent out of shape about that, and he thought it was funny.

Kinda backs up my theory on the first page.

It's a pretty realistic theory, and I love the Tom Cruise episode idea. Hayes leaving won't hurt the show too much since hasn't been a major character in a while.

Isaac Hayes did not quit "South Park." My sources say that someone quit it for him.

I can tell you that Hayes is in no position to have quit anything. Contrary to news reports, the great writer, singer and musician suffered a stroke on Jan. 17. At the time it was said that he was hospitalized and suffering from exhaustion.

It’s also absolutely ridiculous to think that Hayes, who loved playing Chef on "South Park," would suddenly turn against the show because they were poking fun at Scientology.

Last November, when the “Trapped in a Closet” episode of the comedy aired, I saw Hayes and spent time with him in Memphis for the annual Blues Ball.

If he hated the show so much, I doubt he would have performed his trademark hit song from the show, “Chocolate Salty Balls.” He tossed the song into the middle of one of his less salacious hits and got the whole audience in the Memphis Pyramid to sing along.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,188463,00.html

So sethsez was right and Issac Hayes may not have actually quit South Park, and this is all one big scientology conspiracy. I'm also wondering why his stroke wasn't as highly reported when this whole Isaac quiting South Park thing came out.

That sounds really weird. Who would put out a quote under his name and then have the press run with it? Why wouldn't he come out and say that he never said such a thing or quite the show? It's damaging his image, you'd think he'd make some effort to say otherwise. It's also strange how this came up 4 months after it even aired.

Tom Cruise vs. 'South Park'?

Parker and Stone: 'Million-year war for Earth has just begun'

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Actor Tom Cruise threatened to boycott promotion of his upcoming Paramount Pictures film unless a sister cable TV network pulled a "South Park" rerun lampooning the Church of Scientology, industry sources said on Friday.

Representatives for Paramount and Cruise, a prominent Scientologist, denied he made any such threats or had anything to do with the Comedy Central network canceling plans to air a repeat of the "South Park" episode titled "Trapped in the Closet," on Wednesday.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the crudely animated cartoon hit, issued a quirky statement, filled with references to Scientology and the science-fiction writings of church founder L. Ron Hubbard, suggesting Scientology was behind the scheduling change.

"So, Scientology, you have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for Earth has just begun," the pair wrote.

"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!!!"

Because South Park episodes only take six days to create, Stone and Parker were able to react to the current controversy soon after it happened. According to a Comedy Central press release, the show will feature, "The triumphant homecoming of school chef Jerome McElroy. 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 stops to save him."

The super adventure club is whatever you want it to be. You're reading way too far into this.

it simply relates to the idea of going away, plus they deal with the idea of being brainwashed. But they're not saying scientologists are pedophiles, but that should be obvious.

I don't know if I agree with you. I don't think it's reading too far into it to assume that the Super Adventure Club is likely representing Scientologists.

Issac Hayes leaves for a while joins Scientology and comes back a different person.

Chef leaves for a while joins the Super Adventure Club and comes back a different person.

At the same time, Super Adventure Club only represents Scientology in the sense that it' a crazy group their friend got mixed up in. It being a child molestation club has nothing to do with scientology directly. They could have made it about anything they wanted and it would illustrate the same point.

It's a parody of Scientology. If you saw the Closet episode and then see this episode, you'll see the parallels between the episodes (reuising some jokes). But it wasn't about Scientology itself because they already did that with the Closet episode. Last nights episode was about Chef. He comes back a changed person and despite the boys efforts to get their friend back, they lose him. As said by Kyles eulogy at the end, don't remember the weird Chef of the past few days, but the Chef we all knew and loved. It's not Chefs fault he took a turn for the worse, but the fruity club that forced him to change.

The situation was handled really well and with respect. And it was really fucking funny too.

Rezo nailed it. Just a crazy group that makes no sense that converts people as it sees fit to fill an agenda.

it simply relates to the idea of going away, plus they deal with the idea of being brainwashed. But they're not saying scientologists are pedophiles, but that should be obvious.

Yeah, saying that the super adventure club isn't even a slight representation of Scientology is sort of buffoonish. Calling them brainwashing child molesters is indirectly calling Scientologists a bunch of brainwashing child molesters.

... I didn't know Shaun's roommate voiced Darth Maul. Neat.

I stopped watching Southpark a few years ago but I caught the Closet episode last week online and it was freaking brilliant. It's great to see Matt and Trey continuing to push this issue, it's a shame Comedy Central didn't have the grapefruits to re-run the Closet episode though.

I'll catch this latest one online as well since until Comedy Central grows a set, they don't deserve my eye-balls on their advertiser's spots.

The Super Adventure Club rapes children because L. Ron Hubbard was arrested multiple times for sleeping with children. I think they mentioned it briefly in the first Scientology episode.

Anyway, they just really wanted to slam Scientology with a silly, over-the-top attack via allegory.

I thought that was funny as hell, especially how they spliced together random voice samples. I actually thought the eulogy was touching.

I laughed really hard when he said "Jimbo" they must had to splice all sorts of things together to get him to say it, or they just had someone try to impersonate him, but do a bad job of it.
