That's a pretty simplistic way of looking at it... The episode burned scientology more than Hayes himself. The line goes something like this, "we should remeber chef as he was, the awsome man who helped us with our problems. Not what he turned into when he joined that fruity cult." Hayes may or may not have left south park of his own free will, the church anounced his resignation. You'll notice that in the episode when chef is unbrainwashed he doesn't want to be a pedo, but then the "club" brainwashes him again. You CAN look at it as juvinile, but I would be pissed too if someone I had worked with for years quit, but didn't even do it himself. (I don't think he ever confirmed that it was his decision to make, I personaly think that the pedophiles didn't really give him a choice.)
We played everything. Eminem was a good one, Dre, Snoop Dog, The People Under the Stairs, Del, even 50 cent, like... anything. Oh man, I laffed my ass off. I miss those days.
Fair point. I just thought it was a slimy thing for them to do. Sometimes it's best to know when to pull your punches.
Uhhhh, did you miss the episode on Mormons? Nothing is off limits for SP. And it's satire anyway. SATIRE.
In a sense, what Hayes did was pretty fucked up itself. And while I honastly don't think the point was to insult him as much as they could, that's definanatly how it came off to the thousands of people who didn't know the backstory, or didn't get it. Mabey if Hayes would have threatened to murder Trey Parker the episode wouldn't have been made, or at least they would censor chef and bleep out anything negative he says. Hell, more people should start doing that. I'm going to email the CEO of comedy central right now saying that I will rape and kill him if he ever allows any blond charactures to be portrayed in a negative light in any of their programs. Because today we learned that that's an ok thing to do! arty:
