South Park declares war on Scientology

Well, you may or may not have heard that South Park pissed off the cult of Scientology with a past episode. Isaac Hayes has already successfully asked out of his contract because he believes they have gone to far. He had no issues until the scientology ep...hmmm interesting. His "official" reason was:

"Religious beliefs are sacred to people, and at all times should be respected and honored," he continued. "As a civil rights activist of the past 40 years, I cannot support a show that disrespects those beliefs and practices."

Co-creator of South Park Matt Stone responded:

"In 10 years and over 150 episodes of South Park, Isaac never had a problem with the show making fun of Christians, Muslim, Mormons or Jews. He got a sudden case of religious sensitivity when it was his religion featured on the show."

Now the situation has escalated:

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have all but declared war on the Church of Scientology following member Tom Cruise's successful move to have episode Trapped in the Closet pulled from US screens.

Comedy Central canned a repeat of the offending programme due to air last Wednesday, provoking the show's creators to declare to Variety: "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!!!"

I think it is pretty sad that Tom Cruise used his "muscle" in the industry to do this to South Park. I may not agree with a lot of what they do on their show, but one thing you have to hand it to them is that they pick on everyone. That is why I think they should be left alone about this. Now that there is a crack in their wall more people will try to get certain South Park episodes banned.

That is my two cents...
