I haven't watched South Park in years, and I've always found that the show varies wildly between very funny and kind of blah. That being said, I've enjoyed many of the public comments Matt and Trey have made over the years. Word has it that a recent episode focusing on Scientology was pulled due to pressure from Tom Cruise, who threatened to pull Mission: Impossible 3 advertising, and it also caused Isaac Hayes, who did the voice of the Chef character, to quit the show. In response to all of the Scientology pressure, Matt and Trey released this statement via their lawyer: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
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!!!
-- Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu If you don't know much about Scientology, check out this Wikipedia entry on Scientology. It gives some detail on what they're talking about with Xenu and Thetans and the like. |
