Earlier this week America was saddened when a soul legend outed himself as a bigoted fool. Now it's become clear that he merely launched his cult's first strike on free speech.
When Isaac Hayes announced he was quitting "South Park," he offered on of the most insincere rationalizations ever.
"There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins," the 63-year-old Hayes said in a statement issued earlier Monday.
The show's creators, Matt Parker and Trey Stone, called Hayes out as a liar.
"He got a sudden case of religious sensitivity when it was (Scientology that was) featured on the show," Matt Stone said
But this was only the beginning of Scientology's war on South Park.
This past Wednesday night Comedy Central was to air the South Park episode "In the Closet," (watch) which makes sport of the L.A.-based cult of Scientology. At the last minute they switched to "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls."
Again, Parker and Stone were quick to respond, via a statement to "Daily Variety."
"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!"
