News Briefs - South Park fun

It's been a crazy week from start to finish so please pardon the brevity.

-Who knew that South Park was still so edgy? First, their Tom Cruise/Scientology-slapping episode got pulled from re-running, ostensibly because Cruise put the kybosh on it. (He threatened not to do publicity work for MI:3 which is produced by Paramount which is owned by Viacom who also own Comedy Central who produce South Park.)

That yielded this choice press release from Matt and Trey:
"So, Scientology, you 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!!!"

Then Isaac Hayes left the show, ostensibly because they mock religions but really because they mocked his - Scientology.

Well, thank the lord for the Internet age because you can learn about Hayes leaving and watch that banned Cruise episode here - at least for the time being.
