South Park-Scientology Battle Rages On

Post Reply New Topic

"South Park" has declared war on Scientology. 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 with an Internet report saying 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 obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail!"

Isaac Hayes' Chef character got a true "South Park" send-off Wednesday night — seemingly killed off but mourned as a jolly old guy whose brains were scrambled by the "Super Adventure Club." The thinly disguised satire continued the show's feud with Scientologists in its 10th season premiere on Comedy Central.

The soul singer has voiced the Chef character in "South Park" since 1997, but left recently because of what he called the animated show's religious "intolerance and bigotry." Founders Matt Stone and Trey Parker said Hayes, a Scientologist, was mad that "South Park" mocked the religion in an episode last November.

A rerun of that Scientology episode was mysteriously pulled off the air last week amid published reports that actor Tom Cruise, another Scientologist, had used his clout to bury it. A Cruise spokesman denied that.

I love South Park. The Trapped in the closet episode was hilarious - one of their best.

I love how that episode caused all that uproar among scientologists.
I mean, all the scientologists were doing by acting outraged was proving Matt Stone and Trey Parker right.

Go Isaac Hayes I'm rooting for you. Down with South Park.

There is one tiny detail missing. The person who invented Scientology said him self that it was BS maybe his followers should obey the head of this ordeal instead of insulting South Park which is one of the only desent programs on TV these days.

Yanks not getting satire is awesome!

Are you a member of this cult/religion?

Just curious. You're probably just trying to mock one of the best comedies to be scrubbed from the toilet seat in 2000 years.
