Cruise, Sit the Fuck Down

Apparently Tom Cruise has used his celebrity status to get an episode of South Park cancelled. The episode made fun of Scientology, and I think that it's the same episode that Chef's voice quit over. Apparently Cruise said he wouldn't promote Mission Impossible 3 if the episode aired. Since Viacom owns Paramount, the studio that made MI3, as well as Comedy Central, the episode was cancelled.

That's a really concrete "religion" isn't it? One that won't allow an animated show to make fun of them for fear of revealing the heap of bullshit that is Scientology. The "religion" basically allows people with more money than they can spend to give their income to the church to move up in the ranks in Scientology. That way the members can feel better about themselves and look down on others.

Chef Is A Little Bitch

The voice of South Park's Chef has recently quit, citing that he could no longer stomach making fun of religion.

Matt Stone, a co-creator of Comedy Central's South Park, said that Isaac Hayes had no problem making fun of religions until it came to Haye's religion of Scientology. Stone was quoted as saying, "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."

If Stone's being honest, which he most probably is, Hayes ought to devote all his time to his church and less time being a moron. Or learn some tolerance, whichever's easier.
