 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." |

Multi-millionaire kitsch-painter, Thomas Kinkade, whose galleries seem to reproduce like fetid rats in tourist areas, is under fire from ex-employees and business associates over supposedly un-God-like behavior. The man who claims God controls his paintbrush, and who has successfully exploited lots of religious folks via his warm-and-fuzzy distorted images of reality, seems to have a sordid past of groping women, defrauding business associates, and even urinating on Disney characters.
The Kansas City, Mo.-based company said it will restate results for fiscal years 2004 and 2005, plus previous 2006 quarters, mainly because of errors in calculating its state effective income tax rate. The mistakes resulted in H&R Block understating its state income tax liability by about $32 million as of the end of April, 2005, the company added.
A Phoenix Lutheran church has been mailing out flyers that copy the design of the Microsoft XBox 360 logo and colors to lure kids into going to church. No word if they have removed the 8th commandment from their bible teachings.
Here's a tip: never toss a live mouse into a brush fire. Karma's a bitch.
Fox's Bill O'Reilly appeared on Letterman's show last night, where Dave danced with "Falafel Bill" over the administration's use of bad intelligence in the run-up to Iraq, and after defending his right to be unsympathetic to a woman who lost her son in Iraq, claiming she called terrorists, "Freedom Fighters", Letterman responded, "60% of what you say is crap."
A family's display featuring a bloody Santa Claus wielding a knife, beheaded Barbie dolls and a severed head with blood gushing from its eyes has scared children and angered some homeowners in a New York neighborhood.
Dozens of trucks, contracted by FEMA, that were supposed to deliver ice to victims of hurricane Katrina have been diverted to Portland, Maine for the time being. Nobody knows why.
