meh, Scientology sucks
 FOXNEWS.COM HOME > FOXLIFE 'South Park' Creators to Scientology: War Has Just Begun Friday, March 17, 2006 NEW YORK — "South Park" has declared war on Scientology. Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of the animated satire, are digging in against the celebrity-endorsed religion after a controversial episode mocking outspoken Scientologist Tom Cruise was yanked abruptly from the schedule Wednesday — with Internet rumors it was covert warfare by Cruise that led to its departure. "So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun!" the "South Park" creators said in a statement Friday in Daily Variety. "Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies... You have obsructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail!" Internet bloggers accused Cruise of threatening to not promote "Mission Impossible 3," a surefire summer blockbuster, if the offending episode ran. Comedy Central is owned by Viacom, as is Paramount, which is putting out "MI:3." But Cruise's representative, Arnold Robinson, told The Associated Press Friday that the mega-star made no such demands. "Not true," Robinson said. "I can tell you that he never said that." A call by The Associated Press to a Paramount representative was not returned Friday. The episode in question, "Trapped in the Closet," which first aired last November, shows Scientology leaders hailing Stan, one of the show's four devilish fourth graders, as a savior. A cartoon Cruise locks himself in a closet and won't come out. An animated John Travolta, another famous Scientologist, enters the closet to try to get him out. In another dig at the famously secretive religion, the credits at show's end are filled with names like "John Smith" and "Jane Smith." The battle began in earnest earlier this week when Isaac Hayes, another celebrity Scientologist and longtime show member — voicing the ladies' man Chef — quit the show, saying he could no longer tolerate its religious "intolerance and bigotry." Stone and Parker didn't buy that either. On Monday, Stone told The Associated Press, "This is 100 percent having to do with his faith in Scientology...He has no problem — and he's cashed plenty of checks — with our show making fun of Christians." A Comedy Central spokesman said Friday that the network pulled the controversial episode to make room for two shows featuring Hayes. "In light of the events of earlier this week, we wanted to give Chef an appropriate tribute by airing two episodes he is most known for," the spokesman said. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,188279,00.html |

Grew up in Clearwater, FL. They owned the Ft. Harrison hotel and alot of downtown property they didn't pay taxes on because they are a 'religion'...
They all marched around in white sailor type suits, carrying clipboards, not sure why. Rumor had it if you walked into the Ft. Harrison hotel lobby, you would not come out... Had a friends mother write a letter to the paper complaining about them, she was harrassed so much by them she had to move out of state... To this day I can't understand how the Hollyood-tards get caught up in that crap. |

Now, now. The Vatican had a shit-fit when the statue of the Virgin Mary started 'bleeding from its ass' last season on the show. ...And I couldn't have given less of a shit. Anyone who has a problem with the show should heed the disclaimer before every episode. "...should not be viewed by anyone." |

L. Ron Hubbard knew what he was doing. Create a scam of a religion, milk the suckers and run. That's why some countries in Europe outlaw Scientology.

Yeah, but still. I didn't see Isaac Hayes throwing a fit...maybe because it wasn't personal to him, but once it targets YOU, it becomes a problem. Everyone else? Bah fuck em. Just tryin to point out the double standard. There needs to be more people like Stone and Parker IMO, and I've loved everything they've done. And I know theres a special space reserved in Hell for me.

Oh, I got your point. Was just offering up that the Vatican went apeshit. As for ol' Isaac? Fuck him. Maybe his Operating Thetan over-sensitive ass will grow some real balls and a sense of humor.  I'll see you in Hell. I'm in hte other half of the duplex, i'm sure. edited to correct misspelling of shit-tastic Scientology term |

The battle between "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Scientology is escalating. The dust-up gained steam last week when Isaac Hayes, a practicing Scientologist who has long been the voice of the character Chef, quit after objecting to a "South Park" episode called "Trapped in the Closet," which lampooned both the religion and Tom Cruise. The skirmish continued this week, when Comedy Central abruptly pulled a repeat of that episode that was scheduled to air Wednesday evening. Showing instead was another memorable seg which featured Hayes's character, called "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls." Blog reports pegged the mysterious episode switch to objections raised by Cruise, who, the reports stated, threatened to not promote "Mission: Impossible 3," the summer tentpole for Viacom-owned Paramount. A spokesman for Cruise denied that Cruise had ever made such a threat. "He never said any such thing about 'Mission: Impossible 3," the spokesman said. While the "South Park" creators didn't directly comment on Comedy Central's decision to pull the episode, they issued an unusual statement to Daily Variety indicating the battle is not over. "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!!!" The duo signed the statement "Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu." OMFG thats funny! |

SCIENTOLOGY IS NOT A RELIGION
I'm particularly apalled by their use of the christian cross - it has no meaning for them other than to make the sheeple think "it's just abother christian religion" when nothing could be further from the truth. |

It's a joke now, but give it a 1,000 years and Scientology will be just as vigorously defended by true believers as Christianity, Judaism or Islam are today.
In 1,000 years history will be revised, L Ron Hubbard will be a prophet. Somewhere there will be the future equivalent of an internet forum and someone will be banned for not being tolerant of the "religious beliefs" of Scientologists. Someone else on that forum will quietly wonder to himself how grown and otherwise educated adults could possibly believe this ridiculous nonsense in the first place. |
