Oh No, Children!


Isaac Hayes has asked to be released from his contract as the voice of character 'Chef' on the totally awesome cartoon 'South Park' citing a "growing insensitivity toward personal spiritual beliefs" in the media.


I find the timing of this to be rather interesting. South Park has skewered Catholics (my religion of choice for 29+ years), Jews, and Mormons multiple times over the past 9 years. Heck, the thing that got South Park noticed in the first place was a bloody internet cartoon pitting Santa Claus against Jesus in a last-man-standing fight to the death. Hayes seemed fine with all of this, but a couple months after South Park parodies Scientology (Hayes' religion of choice for the past 14 years), he starts throwing around words like "intolerance" and "bigotry". What a fucking hypocrite. Man, are these Scientologists nutso or what?

I think Trey Parker and Matt Stone sum it up best (as they always seem to be able to do), "... [we] 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."

I read about Hayes this morning, and I couldn't help but laugh about the timing. Scientologists are the craziest people ever. Anyone who says otherwise is even crazier!

I hear Tom Cruise loves South Park.
