Ahh... wonderful hypocrisy from the Hollywood Left.
In case you missed it, Isaac Hayes, who plays Chef on South Park (among other things) quit the show after they aired an episode which mocked Scientology. The Stone brothers immediately responded by saying, in effect, that Hayes had no problem mocking Muslims, Mormons, Catholics, and everyone else.
Tom Cruise, a noted Scientologist and lunatic, then pressured Comedy Central to stop the re-airing of the Scientology episiode of South Park, by threatening to not promote Mission Impossible: 3. Viacom owns Paramount, which is producing MI:3, and Comedy Central. Gotta love media conglomeration. Viacom gave in, and the episode did not air as scheduled. Now as we all know, many Hollywood liberals are Scientologists, and fond of criticizing the government for censorship. On this issue however, they've been silent. Quote:

if he was mormon johnny would you not be applauding him? (tom cruise that is, since isaac hayes has shown he is a hypocrite)
i doubt the ones offended view it as breaching something they hold sacred, and dear to their heart, should not tom be applauded for his courage in tackling this issue? as im sure youd do the same if our secrets, the ones in our temples, were made known to the world in cartoon... and fyi, the scientology episode did air. they just wont re-air the show.... |

Given this and Tom Cruise's public trashing of Brook Shields as a result of her taking medication to treat depression, I am not sure if Tom is a good ambassador for the faith. Then again, any publicity is probably good publicity in the long run. |

And you're right, the Super Adventure Club is a thinly veiled reference to Scientology... it's hammered pretty hard. |

degenerating mormons? ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.... johnny, can a man stand up for his beliefs or not? im not arguing what south park does, as they can do whatever the hell they want, im simply asking, can not the offended people voice their concerns? can i say the church is a facist entity since they have issued statements against big love? |

Did anybody else actually see last night's episode? HOLY CRAP, they were gunning for Scientology. I think we have an official feud on our hands.
"So, we shouldn't me mad at Chef for leaving us. We should be mad at his stupid fruity club that brainwashed him!"

basically what happens is this..... stan investigates scientology. tom cruise locks himself into cartmans closet, r. kelly tries to sing him out of the closet.....reference to r. kelly's song.... john travolta tries to get tom out of the closet and ends up joining him in the closet.... finally r joins him in the closet.... all the while stan pays his money to learn the secrets of scientology by paying money, and they outline in detail the beliefs of the religion.... that we were intelligences or something from another planet, we escaped the rule of a bad leader, we escaped to earth, and now things like prescription drugs impede our ability to see who we truly are. all the while on the bottom of the screen is flashing, this is really what scientologists believe..... |
