 After seeing this season's premier Southpark episode, where the Chef character, previously played by Isaac Hayes appears to be composed of edited disembodied versions of his previous voiceovers, the show's creators have made a powerful statement over Hayes' departure.
It appears, it's ok to make fun of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Abortion, Hippies, Barbara Striesand, Gays, Handicapped People, Politicians, Mormons and Minorities, but if you start talking bad about Tom Cruise and Scientology, that's crunk. So Isaac Hayes quit Southpark citing "religious intolerance", presumably over the parodying of his cult, Scientology. The result? Chef turns into a pedophile and is eaten by wild animals.
To add more fuel to the fire, the Washington Post said fans have started a campaign urging people to write, phone or e-mail Viacom threatening to boycott "Mission Impossible 3" -- unless Comedy Central reruns the episode spoofing Scientology that caused Isaac Hayes to quit. Does anyone need a reason to not see Mission Impossible 3 in the first place?
At the end of the show, Kyle said they shouldn't be mad at Chef for leaving, they should be "mad at that fruity little club [Scientology] for scrambling his brains."
Our take is only fruity little people are members of fruity little clubs.
"This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology," South Park co-creator Matt Stone said. "He has no problem -- and he's cashed plenty of checks -- with our show making fun of Christians." |

What happens when your political party seems to be completely filled with pedophiles and those who protect them? What can you do with an election looming?
By now most know about AOL's "mistake" of releasing a portion of their search data to the public for research purposes. Even a cursory glance at the so called "anonymous" data (where users were identified with a number), it became obvious people reveal quite a bit about themselves and their social network when using search engines, and this data, in almost any form, could be considered a substantive privacy invasion.
