South Park vs Scientology

I am wondering if anyone who sees the episodes that will be played instead can tell me if they really are ones in which Chef is featured a lot.

I have the DVD "The Passion of the Jew" and the episodes they have on it do indeed roast the Catholic Church over the coals. Isaac did not seem to have a trouble with that, but now he is quitting. :idunno:

But I wonder if the excuse was real and maybe the creators are getting a bit of free publicity.

Personally, I will miss Kenny more than Chef.

I saw some episodes where they were all over Scientology. They told it as they saw it, and had tom Cruise and others in Kyles' Closet, and made references to them coming out fo the closet as well.

I laughed and enjoyed the shows.

They're brave (or powerful). Scientology has a reputation for taking a very dim view of criticism.

And a very good view about taking your house and all your money.

They go after everybody. It's comedy for pete's sake! People shouldn't take themselves so seriously.

Yeah, I thought it was kinda BS that Hayes left because he felt South Parks creators "crossed the line" when they hammered Scientology, of which he is a member of. He didn't see a problem before when they made fun of pretty much everyone and everything else.

Well, they take a dim view, but they don't sue or even worse stuff I have heard in regards to Scientology.

I Blame Canada!!!

Hmmm, Hayes leaves almost a year after the episode is taped and released.

South Park pulls this episode to give a blitz of Chef episodes as a send off.

Are they related? Is their a conspiracy?

A quote from an AOL link. I really dislike that site, but if you must just go to it and search and it will come up.

...
Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of the animated satire, are digging in against the celebrity-endorsed religion after a controversial episode mocking outspoken Scientologist Tom Cruise was yanked abruptly from the schedule Wednesday - with Internet rumors it was covert warfare by Cruise that led to its departure.

"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun!" the "South Park" creators said in a statement Friday in Daily Variety. "Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies... You have obsructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail!"

I really do like the creators response.

I'm sure Kyle's mom had something to do with this.

Incidentally, they spend more time raking the Mormon faith over the coals than anyone else. Anyone see the episode where they told the story of Joseph Smith and the origin of the Mormons?

And in their film, "Orgazmo", Matt Stone played a Mormon missionary who becomes a porn star to pay for his wedding.

Would be interesting, but unfortuantely we'd never know about it. heh.

 

[JamesYazell]

I think that is one of the funniest episodes of south park ever. When they put the box up saying "This is what scientologists actually believe" I couldn't stop laughing. For the record I'm catholic and I dont take offense to their jokes. I think thy are all funny.

 

[Nanalo74]

Seriously, Jesus and Satan are recurring characters on the show. Where was Isaac Hayes' righteous indignation then?

What a maroon!
