Isaac Hayes quit the show South Park recently, complaining that the show that had returned him to stardom "disrespected" religion. Apparently Hayes didn't mind disrespecting Baptists, Mormons, Catholics and Jews. It was when they got around to disrespecting Scientologists that his morals and compassion kicked in.On Wednesday, Comedy Central abruptly pulled the scheduled South Park episode about Scientology, called "Trapped in the Closet," and aired instead an episode featuring Hayes called "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls."
While the South Park creators didn't directly comment on Comedy Central's decision to pull the episode, they issued an unusual statement to Daily Variety indicating the battle is not over.
"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!"
The duo signed the statement "Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu."
South Park | Chef | Xenu | Isaac Hayes
Scientology | Trey Parker | Matt Stone
