Isaac Hayes Quits South Park
Monday, March 13, 2006
South Park will never be the same. Isaacs Hayes, soulful singer and the longtime voice of Chef on South Park, says he is done with the show. Hayes, who is a Scientologist, says he can no longer stomach the show's take on religion. "There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs of others begins," Hayes said. South Park co-creator Matt Stone says, "he's cashed plenty of checks - with our show making fun of Christians." Stone says he never heard a peep out of Hayes until they made fun of Scientology. "He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin," Stone said.
