Via several people on my reading list:

Isaac Hayes quits "South Park" because of its "inappropriate ridicule" of religion, by which of course he means Scientology and not any of the other religions that they've been making fun of for ten years.

<eye roll>Yeah, I can just see it now: One day he suddenly noticed, "Gee, this show makes fun of religion!" </eye roll>

[geekchick]

It's all fun and games until it's your own religion they make fun of, I guess.

[penk.livejournal.com]

boggling. 10+ years of jesus pigfucking and satan sex jokes, and NOW he notices that SP is slightly irreverant?

[geekchick]

Yeah, but this time they're making fun of his religion and that's different.

[chiefted]

I thought I read someplace that Trey and Matt asked Isaac Hayes if
he would have problems with this before they did the whole Tom Cruise thing?

Well, you know how it is... it's ok to make fun of those other religions that aren't absolute in their truthiness.

[pecunium.livejournal.com]

His phrasing makes it very clear he's pissed that his faith was dissed.

So he's not just a prig, but a hypocritcal prig.

Wait a second, who is Isaac Hayes?

"Hayes is best known for the hit theme tune to the 1971 film Shaft"

Oh... him!

[geekchick]

I was taking a drink when I read this, that was a mistake on my part. =)

[geekchick]

I hadn't heard that, but I admit to not really keeping up with the show lately.

[geekchick]

Yeah, it's okay if it's someone else's religion but you'd better not touch his.

[geekchick]

Well, it did take them ten years to get around to making fun of his own beliefs. =)

Re: Wait a second, who is Isaac Hayes?

[geekchick]

Yeah, him. Wonder how they're going to explain Chef's absence, or if they're going to replace him.

Fabulous icon. =)

The icon: Where's Jesus at the Big Ol' Booty Bananza

Chef's absence:

Kyle: "Where's Chef?"

MD: "Chef quit!"

Everyone: "What?"

MD: "Chef is gone, so let me introduce myself. I'm you're new cook, Mister Durp!"
<TADA!>

Kyle: "Mister Durp?"

MD: "When I'm in the kitchen, you never know what nutty things are going to happen. If you like Chef, you're gonna love, Mister Durp."
<TADA!>

Why thank you!

On the off chance you're perplexed, the above script was from the South Park episode "Succubus".

Re: Wait a second, who is Isaac Hayes?

[geekchick]

I was, actually. I have to admit that I haven't actually watched South Park in a good while.

Re: Wait a second, who is Isaac Hayes?

[yy2bggggs.livejournal.com]

This was a really old one--first aired about 6 years ago.
