Chef walks
Isaac Hayes has left South Park saying his 40 years as a civil rights activist are no longer consistent with the last (almost) ten years of involvement with the show (hat tip to Porchboy). The problem, "disrespect" toward religious beliefs and practices. I can only second Matt Stone and Trey Parker's reaction.
"South Park" co-creator Matt Stone responded sharply in an interview with The Associated Press Monday, 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." ...
Stone told The AP 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."
