Scientologist Isaac "chef" Hayes quits ‘South Park
the argument of southpark and mocking religion and culture isn't new... but it's starting to bite them in the ass! chef quit! according to a poll on this website, 90% sided with the makers of the show, and 10% sided with chef

Sounds like Chef can dish it but he can't take it. It's BS. If he is persoanlly offende, he mi9ght consider the actual weight of the show versus the weight of Tom Cruise's recent actions. If I were a scientologist, I would care more about a run away star with the attention of America than a cartoon that's know to push all boundries.
|
I sort of regret the tone that Matt Stone takes at the end of the article. I mean... he's right. It's just a shame to have to end a years-long professional relationship like that. There was a high road to be taken... and he drove right on by it.
|
Too bad. I expect even if he was okay with things, other scientoologists (sp?) weren't. No doubt he risked losing free towel service at the club.
|
I love the Chef Character on South Park, and I hope they find a good replacement voice rather than get rid of the character.
I could care less about some scientologist who can't handle a good dose of the truth. |
I also don't think the episode of SP about Scientology was bigoted towards anything but Tom Cruise and John Travolta. I fact checked the episode of SP, and nothing about Scientology seems off base at all. I agree with USTWO, Isaac Hayes can't handle truth.

there was an episode about catholics this year that was pretty offensive too
i'd even say it was more offensive than the scientology episode, but i guess that's up for debate. i hardly watch the show, but have fond memories of the time mormonism was explained. the background music was someone singing "dum du-dum duh dum dum..." |

Haha. Good riddance to him. If he can't take a joke, fuck him.
You got some "inside hollywood information" from a satire cartoon show? Please tell me you aren't serious about that sentence. |
ratbastid, I have to disagree with you. I am absolutely grateful for the remarks and calling Isaac on his bullshit. The only high road that exists today is to not even get involved in anything. When the only thing you're used to hearing is "We respect his decisions and wish him luck in his future endeavors" those words from Matt Stone make me wanna marry his left nut.

Hahahahah. This story is the funniest thing I've heard all week. Fuck Isaac Hayes. What a disgusting hypocrite.

Damn. No more sweet love down by the fire.
I have to say this, Hayes was introduced singing a love song about inter-species fucking, and now he has a problem with the tone of the show. It was probably a strong arm from the church. |
Here's a link to the episode in question.
http://www.scientomogy.info/south-park.htm I can't quite tell if it is legal or not. It is linked to from wikipedia.org and the following is a quote from southparkstudios.com: Quote:

Well... whether it was direct influence or his own decision, it was still the church that made him do it, in the end.
And yeah, they've been making fun of everyone for years and years- and then they poke a little fun at scientologists and suddenly they've crossed a line? Hahahaha yeah ok, whatever. I'm glad they reacted the way they did, and i wouldn't expect less from Matt and Trey. That's a bullshit move on Hayes' part. You can't claim moral superiority suddenly after participating in it gleefully for years. |
Hold up, people. A little perspective please? Y'all are missin' the bigger issue here...

so, this brings up the question, how do you think they'll off Chef? You know it's going to be brutal and politically and morally wrong, and in being so, it will be so right. Thoughts?
|
maybe another scientology episode is in order
let chef be brainwashed and get taken up in the mothership to meet Xenu or some such bullshit. |

Yes, it definitely seems Hayes simply didn't like it when it was his own clique under the microscope. If Stone and Parker crossed the line (whatever the hell that means), it would have been long before the episode in question.
This says everything right here: Quote:

Fuck him...
I think Snoop Dogg would be a great replacement for a new chef voice... :) Quote:
Have a new Scientology episode, and randomly throughout the whole show cut to the chef working the glory hole in the confessional... or Keep the chef character in the show as a ball-gagged S&M slave for Hitler and the Devil... |
I really did'nt know he was a scientologist.
but now that I do, he won't be missed. |
Add him to the huge list of people who can dish it out but can't take it.

Quote:
i wouldn't be suprised if they simply find another voice, if they kill him they have to use another voice for that episode anyway so they might as well keep him |
Chef will probably wind up in the closet with Cruise before this is all over with.

Actually, after watching the episode, I can see why Isaac Hayes was offended. I can't say that he's unbiased. It's obvious that he left because it was attacking something he believed. But it is VERY obvious why he was offended: the show presented Scientology as completely untrue. I don't know if it's done that with any of the other religions. They've made fun of other religions, but I dunno whether they've explicitly called them untrue. |
Perhaps because other religions aren't based upon science fiction novels? Read up on the history of the 'religion' and you'll find why it's so easy to redicule.
|
*grumble*
/tries not to mock others' religions... /laughs because people actually worship CLAMS.... |

Secondly if you saw the Mormon episode, they basically called Joseph Smith a liar and a fraud. "dum dum dum dum dum" They had the collage of Cardinals all child molesters, the local priest fucking a woman in the confessional, and the virgin Mary shooting blood out her ass on the popes face (in all seperate episodes). I think Scientology can suck it on this one and Mr. Hayes can hook himself to an E-meter. |
Isaac Hayes lost ALL respect from me on this one. total hypocrisy. But, as always, I'm sure that he could give a rats ass whether I respect him or not.

the thing i thought when i read this thread was that i'm surprised shaft wasn't upset about the episode with david blaine and the blainetology stuff. i thought that was a pretty action packed jab at the kool aid comet riders, scientology, david blaine, and jesus christ, all rolled into one.
i really can't see how you can rationally get too upset at the south park guys for making fun of scientology, after all the stuff they've done with that show. i think shaft is probably just tired of the show in general, and this just punched the clock for him. "a prostitute is like any other woman, but you don't pay her to stay, you pay her to leave...take it James Taylor..." |
This thread reminds me of how much I love South Park.

But I think that's another of Hollywood's worst-kept secrets, even though Cruise sues anyone who says it too publicly. |

Really." "I lost some pages, can you re-read them for me?" "No. For some flimsy excuse, I can't re-read the tablets. And it isn't because I was making that shit up as we went along." |
Well then again, Mormonism was also shown to be the only correct religion. Everyone else went to hell.
|
If John Travolta or Tom Cruise quit Scientology today, the church would publish stories about them being gay tomorrow. I wonder what shit they have on Isaac Hayes?
