Isaac Hayes Puts South Park and Chef Behind Him

Even though the outcry has been loud, Isaac Hayes will not be returning to "South Park." Hayes tells the New York Post's Billy Heller that there will be no reunion and no return to the character of Chef on the cult hit tv show.

Hayes admits that even though the show spoofed Scientology in an episode, it's not the reason for his departure. No, the Oscar- and Grammy-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Famer said he felt like he got the shaft.

Hayes tells the Post that the big reason he left the show last year was, "They didn't pay me enough." And, "They weren't that nice."

Hayes, who is still recovering from a stroke and is currently in physical therapy will be ready to go onstage Saturday at the B.B. King Blues Club on West 42nd Street. "I got my voice," the 'Black Moses' said. "That still works.

I'm sure evangelics aren't thrilled with Jesus having a public access talk show and being ignored by everybody

I'm Christian and I didn't have a problem with it. Actually I sort of thought it was funny when they would call Jesus with a stupid question

Well he can't really can he. I learned in SP that someone craps their pants 5 seconds after they die (according to Cartman ;)) and Chef did that. Especially after he was torn up at the bottom of the canyon. So Chef's dead. And really this past season was one of the funniest without Chef. The Nintendo Wii two parter was a riot

My wife and I are both devout Christians and find South Park to be one of the most generous shows to Christ on the air today. What they consistently attack is the hypocrisy displayed by organized religions and CINOs who look to milk the faithful of their money, and the ignorant faithful who do not question those who are milking them.

In fact, the Jesus portrayed on SP is one of the most sympathetic characters on the show.

The yellow jounalists at the BBC spin it like this (Notice how the word 'bigoted' only appears in their title):
 
 
Hayes leaves 'bigoted' South Park
 
 
Singer Isaac Hayes is to stop providing the voice for a character in cartoon South Park because he objects to its "inappropriate ridicule" of religion.

Hayes, 63, who is the voice of the lustful Chef, has been a regular on the show since its US TV debut in 1997.

But co-creator Matt Stone said Hayes had "never had a problem" until the Scientology Church, to which Hayes belongs, was parodied.

The show was insensitive to "personal spiritual beliefs", said Hayes.

"There is a place in this world for satire but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs begins," he said.

The rest...

Thats the reason he has a public access show on South Park. They are showing that he is being ignored and more attention should be paid to him.
