Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented today on the news that Isaac Hayes has quit “South Park” because of an episode that attacked his religion, the Church of Scientology:
“It is nothing short of amazing to read that ‘South Park’ co-creator Matt Stone is now charging Isaac Hayes with ‘intolerance and bigotry’ for not complaining earlier about all the shows ‘South Park’ did ‘making fun of Christians.’ Forget about Hayes—the real issue here is the two-faced, super-bratty response from Stone. For him to lecture Hayes on intolerance and bigotry is on the order of John Gotti lecturing Curtis Sliwa on ethics. After all, it was on ‘South Park’ last year that they depicted the Virgin Mary spraying blood from her vagina. How would Stone know anything about tolerance?
“And now we learn that Stone and his buddy Trey Parker were moved to take a shot at Scientology because they were ticked off that their equally foul-mouthed friend, Penn Jillette, was banned from ripping Scientology on his crude Showtime series, ‘Bulls - - t.’ Forget about Stone and Parker—the real issue here is the cowardly, hypocritical response from Jillette. Last year, Jillette went on a rampage against Mother Teresa calling her ‘Mother F- - king Teresa.’ Yet this same big oaf hasn’t got the guts to slam Scientologists for fear of upsetting his bigoted boss, Sumner Redstone (he is chairman of Viacom, which owns Showtime). As for Redstone, he wrote to me last August defending Jillette’s assault on Mother Teresa saying ‘we as an organization are committed to artistic freedom.’ Not when it comes to Scientologists—their penchant for filing lawsuits scares the daylights out of him.
“What does it take to get the New York-Hollywood gang to stop with their Catholic bashing? Threats of beheadings? Threats of lawsuits? Seems that way. What ever happened to common decency?”
They could have Fiddy Cent guest star, kill off cheff with a three-fiddy-seven, and assume Chef's character. Then Chef's parent's could say, "No way in hell I'm givin' you no three fiddy, Fiddy!".
Bill Donahue = irrelevant whiner. I put him in the same category with Foxman and the limp wrists who write letters everytime a gay is portrayed negatively.
Bill Donahue needs to reach around and yank his panties out of his crack, they're obviously in a bunch.
They have.
"
Lets see them make fun of Islam.....I won't hold my breath for that one.....effin cowardly slimeballs!"
You won't have to hold your breath long, as they've insulted Islam many times. Don't let that stop you from making an ignorant comment, though.
A great adventure is waiting for you ahead. Hurry onward Isaac Hayes, for you will soon be dead. The journey before you may be long and filled with woe. But you must escape the gay man's ass, or your tale can't be told.
Isaac Hayes, Isaac Hayes, Isaac Hayes, Isaac Hayes!
Isaac Hayes' journey is distant, far and fast! To find his way out of a gay man's ass! The road ahead is filled with danger and fright! But push onward Isaac Hayes with all of your might!
FROG KING: Isaac Hayes, you are coming to the enterance off the small intestine! There you must seek out The Sparrow Prince!
The Sparrow Prince lies somewhere way up ahead! Don't look back Isaac Hayes, or you will soon be dead! Isaac Hayes, Isaac Hayes, the time is growing late. Slow down now, and seal your fate.
Life of Brian actually portrayed Jesus quite respectfully.

"Matt Stone responded sharply, saying, "This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology. ... He has no problem – and he's cashed plenty of checks – with our show making fun of Christians." He said he and co-creator Trey Parker "never heard a peep out of Isaac in any way until we did Scientology. He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin."
100% Correct! I'm glad Matt Stone didn't give some mealy mouth statement, he just laid it on the line.
When South Park offends me, I turn it off (which I've done); and when I am amused by it, I laugh my butt off.
[THE SHOE! HE WANTS US TO WORSHIP THE SHOE!]
I SAY IT IS A SANDAL!
BUT WE MUST INSTEAD WORSHIP THE HOLY GOURD!
I agree. They portrayed Jesus in a good light as he gave the "sermon on the mount".
But did you catch the part (it happens fast) where Jesus skips out on Simon after he offers to share Jesus' burden of carrying his cross and they crucify Simon instead? Not a nice portrayal, but it was REALLY funny.
It's called Terance and Phillip
I've always seen Terance and Phillip as a spoof of Beavis and Butthead.
Gosh. I wonder if South Park will make an episode sending up Hayes?
"Chicks bleed out their vaginas all the time."
I hope ES is back by next week, when THE NEW SEASON STARTS ON MARCH 22!!!!
WOO HOO!!
Giant Douche!
Oh - thanks for the reminder about new episodes next week! I hope ES is back too.
And reminder also - Matt and Trey will be on Letterman tomorrow (Wed) night.
BTW, thanks for running EveningStar's list while he's gone, I appreciate it.
