CANOE -- JAM! - 'South Park'-Scientology battle rages

At least it is in the open now; the supposedly forward thinking Scientologists are hypocritical as much as the other religious groups.

This week, Isaac Hayes, the voice of Chef since the start of South Park, has quit the show saying he can no longer tolerate the show and its treatment of religion. Really? Seriously? Hmm, let's examine this a bit.

The very first show had Cartman riffing on Kyle about him being Jewish. Then, they had Santa fighting Jesus Christ for control of Christmas. Nope, all is good here. Several more shows with Cartman seriously going after his Jewish "friend", with the worst/best of the lot in the episode with Kyle and Kyle II. It is one so bad that it actually makes DW cringe but I laugh my fool head off because I am so beyond the trappings of religion as a lay observer.

Oh, let us not forget the way they have nailed the Mormons, the Buddhists, the Protestants, the Blacks, the Rich, the Poor, the Homosexuals and yes, even the Muslims (funny as hell show aimed at finding Osama). Almost all of which good old Chef had a direct hand, or was a part of in some way.

NINE YEARS later, this hypocrite is now crying foul because one of his wacko fellow members (a MR. Chair-bouncing-cradle-robbing Cruise) brought the only-for-the-rich religion into the spotlight again and the South Park crew, true to form, nails them to the wall? Unreal. I like his music, I loved him as chef, but if he wants to cop out like this, he can kiss my ass and I hope Stone and Parker nails his ass to the wall in an appropriate episode.

I think they should do an episode in which Chef cannot actually speak because his own chocolate, salty balls have been stuffed firmly in his mouth while all the women he took advantage of over the years pleasures him right to death. A fitting end for an important character and a message filled scene for the former voice of said character.

We'll miss you Chef, but long live South Park without you.
