SOUTH PARK vs. TOM CRUISE & THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY

It's on!!!

After Isaac Hayes (the voice of Chef) recently quit the show over last November's episode that poked fun at Scientology (of which he is a follower), fellow Scientologist Tom Cruise (who was a target of that particular episode) successfully had a re-run of the episode pulled after he threatened a boycott in promoting his upcoming film Mission: Impossible 3 (Comedy Central, which airs the show; and Paramount Pictures, which produced Cruise's film; are owned by the same company). In retaliation, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the brilliant minds behind this twisted animated satire (which will begin its 10th season next week); gave this dignified statement:

"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!!!"

--- Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu

Don't worry about the ramifications, Trey and Matt don't give a damn about "illegal" downloading (as illustrated in that classic episode where Cartman becomes a Christian rock artist).
