I wonder how they will kill off Chef?

Some maniac with a three-fiddy seven magnum?

Mr. Donahue might want to re-read what Mr. Stone said before claiming he was being two-faced. Mr. Stone said that Mr. Hayes did not complain about South Parks treatment of Christianity, so to do so about it's treatment of Scientology is intolerant and bigoted. Mr. Stone is not saying he is tolerant or unbigotted, just that Mr. Hayes actions cannot be viewed from a position of high moral ground.

To make fun of one religion while holding as inviolate another religion would be clearly intolerant of one and supporting of another. The creators of South Park have made clear that they will not hold back on any religion. This does not make the tolerant, but it sure removes the title of "hypocrite".

No...I believe he was referring to the name of Penjullet's Showtime special 'Bullsh*t'.

"Matt Stone is now charging Isaac Hayes with ‘intolerance and bigotry’ "

Thats his way of mocking Hayes. And he is completly right. Hayes never had any problem with the Jesus vs. Satan pay per view fight, or anything else. Stone is simply saying "oh, NOW you have religious prinicples?".

Well, except for Osama bin Laden (Osama Bin Laden has Farty Pants - Ep 509) and Mohammed as a Super Best Friend (Super Best Friends - Ep 504), and other various knocks on them, I guess they haven't.

Was that the Super Best Friends episode, which also featured Buddha, Krishna, and Joseph Smith?

Yep. I'd ask EveningStar (RIP) to ping the list and get you more info, but...

How could that be done without looking like a petty rip-off?

Some things are too silly to satarize.

I don't watch SP so I figured that if I posted a scathing condemantion of them for not making fun of Islam, the SP philes would correct me. And they have.

"I'd rather keep the free speech and accept that all religions and philosophies, including agnosticism and atheism, can be ridiculed without fear of legal reprisals or violence. And maybe, just maybe, develop a sense of humor.


Agree. South Park is Equal Opportunity Offensive. And it is hilarious. Those who are confident in their beliefs can afford to take some kidding.

I wonder if Donhue realizes that Jesus is one of the few characters SP actually treats with any respect. Sure, no one watches his talk show and on his birthday, he sits alone singing Happy Birthday to Me in a sad voice.. but he is always the 'hero' in the end (sort of..)

I'm not so sure Hayes wanted to quit. Anyone else think maybe he quit due to pressure from the powers that be in Scientology?
