South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone avoided poking fun at Scientology for years because they didn't want to upset show regular Isaac Hayes.

Boy, you could tell they held back too. Instead of a trickle, they let loose.

'Dude, we totally love working with you, and this is nothing personal, it's just we're South Park, and if we don't do this, we're belittling everything else we've ripped on.'"

Men of principle :~D

Does that mean that the recipe for Salty Balls came from aliens?

[mainepatsfan]

With both barrels and then they nuked them!

The headline makes it sound like Parker and Stone wanted to join Scientology but Hayes stopped them.

[mainepatsfan]

Well at least we know that Chef won't be coming out of any closet.

I think the antics of Tom Cruz paved the way.

[mainepatsfan]

I just saw War of the Worlds last night and I can just imagine Cruise telling everyone during the filming how the "real" aliens would never behave like the ones in the movie.

Now that you mention it, yeah. It does.

I saw it, what a disappointment. I never understand why producers would want to remake a classic, then decide to screw around with it so that it's a pale copy.

I'm happier they waited. I'd love to see Hayes smack his forehead and say, "What was I thinking?"

[mainepatsfan]

My brother rented it otherwise I probably never would have seen it. It was worse than I thought it would be.
