Sorry–the below tidbit just made me laugh. And it was on Andrew Sullivan’s blog, no less! In case you were unaware, Issac Hayes threatened to quit South Park because it “crossed the line” when it made fun of Scientology. Never mind the fact that it’s made fun of virtually every other religion on earth while Isaac happily collected his paycheck. If you haven’t already twigged to this, Isaac is a Scientologist.
Excerpted from Andrew Sullivan | The Daily Dish:
Yep, I can now confirm that Viacom and Comedy Central caved in to the Scientologists and Tom Cruise, but the South Park team are unrepentant. Here’s their official statement:
“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!!!
– Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu.”
