NEW YORK (AP)-"South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker vowed vengeance last week in their running battle with Scientology-and Wednesday night's new-season premier appears to be the start.

Issac Hayes may have left the animated satire in a huff over what he described as religious "intolerance and bigotry," but his Chef character, which he's voiced since 1997, isn't forgotten.

The Comedy Central cartoon begins its 10th season with an episode titled "The Return of Chef!" The character's return follows by just a few days Hayes' statement that he was quitting because he could no longer accept the show's satirical blasts at religion.

Well, it looks like the creators had an idea thrown in their lap. Let's hear it for procrastination.

[Terpfen]

What does procrastination have to do with it? South Park episodes take 6 days to make.

[Mongeaux]

Cruise should have left well enough alone. They are SO gonna get him!

[308MBR]

A few weeks ago, they admitted they had not done anything yet for the new season. I guess religion in general and Scientology in particular will get a good roasting over the next 13 weeks or so.

I hope they don't skip the Muslms.

It looks like Chef...

Sounds like Chef...

[Terpfen]

Got a link? I missed that story.

[aliquando]

saw episode in Nov. It was " Sweeeeeet"! Hell, my friends and I pre-dated the so-called " South Park Republicans". We were Monty Python and Spinal Tap Republicans!! " My amplifier is louder because it goes to 11, all the others only go to 8". That's funny I don't care who you are!!!

[308MBR]

No link. I heard it on a radio interview. I know I'm a sorry piece of poo, since the RINOs here on FR and my wife keep reminding me.

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh my. Somebody hasn't been keeping up.

I wouldn't say that... I don't think anyone but Matt and Trey know what's really goin' on. :~D

[Terpfen]

Hmmm... I'm inclined to believe you, but I still can't see how they'd be able to get this far without doing any work whatsoever.

[HairOfTheDog]

From the article..

Hayes didn't return to voice the new episode, but there's widespread speculation that the mischievous Stone and Parker used creative editing of his voicing from past shows to fashion new dialogue.

Comedy Central on Tuesday began running promos of the episode that featured what appeared to be Hayes' voice.

[SevenofNine]

OMGG rack Matt and Trey ALL hail the servents of Xedu LOL!

I am so geek up watch this episode NOW Can't waittttt
