South Park Scientology Episode pulled: Matt and Trey strike back!
Quote:
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."
|
hahaha, Servants of the Dark Lord Xenu, too good.
if you want, search scientology on youtube.com to get the episode, it is well worth it.

Is that the one where Tom Cruise is in the closet? They just obliterate the guy by having him freak out for 10 minutes, then he spends the last 10 minutes in the closet?
Or is there a new one...?

So is Beck. I don't know if it's depressing, but it doesn't make me happy to know that I've probably contributed to that crazy crowd through buying all his records.

Tom Cruise forced Comedy Central to cancel a repeat of a controversial South Park episode lampooning Scientology after telling Paramount that he would refuse to promote Mission Impossible 3 if the show aired, according to the New York Post's "Page Six" gossip column, which in turn cited the website hollywoodinterrupted.com. However, a spokesperson for Comedy Central insisted that the episode had been yanked so that the channel could air a different episode that would serve as tribute to Isaac Hayes, who, like Cruise, is a Scientologist and who left the show (where he played "Chef") assertedly because of the Scientology episode. It originally aired last November
|
They should have played the Scientology episode as the tribute to him.

yeah, when I found out Beck was, I lost a tonne o' respect for the guy...what a clown.
I can't believe they actually pulled the show..must be because the scientologists have a lot of influence in the entertainment industry..unbelievable.

Well I think it had more to do with them suggesting scientology is a complete money making scam. Which is what happened when Stan in the episode asked the guy who was in charge of scientology to stop charging people money.

I heard this: Viacom (parent company of Comedy Central) ordered the episode pulled because Cruise threatened to refuse to promote his new Paramount (a Viacom company) movie, Mission Impossible 3. He got his way with CC by threatening another arm of the parent company.

what the hell is wrong with the world? What happend to freedom of religion and freedom of speech? I really hate Scientology and they are a cult full of idiots. I am never going to see another stupid Tom Cruise movie or watch anything that a scientologist is in. They have been put in my blackbook. They are proably upset because what South Park is saying about them is true.

Man, I'd be carefull about what you say hacking scientology. They're as bad as the US government for seeking out any derogatory remarks about them and silencing those who speak out against them. They have a lot of money, and they're lawyers are good.

Yeah, I was going to comment on that. Hopefully CP doesn't get sued over expressing free speech.

I wonder if the episode will be on DVD when it is released?
Just for that, I think I'll have to find that episode...

NP, I'll see it in about....20 minutes.
Edit: that John & Jane Smith were pretty busy people making this episode all by themselves....

Was it all a publicity stunt for the new season?
Quote:
Last week, Isaac Hayes, who had voiced the character for almost a decade, quit the show in a fit of religious indignation, leading fans to believe they had been seen the last of the series' resident ladies man.
But then came word from Comedy Central that Wednesday's 10th season debut of the animated series would kick off with an all-new episode titled "The Return of Chef!"
