Controversial South Park episode is being aired tonight

[BushOut06]

This is the one that evidently was the last straw for Isaac Hayes, where they poke fun at Scientology. It originally aired last November, it's on again tonight at 10pm on Comedy Central. I believe the new season starts either next week or the week after.

Coincidence that this episode is being repeated the same week that Hayes calls it quits?

1. I saw that episode the first time

IMO, it's not too outrageous. If Isaac has a problem, well... :nopity:

2. Yeah, do unto others but not unto me.

6. They can dish it out, but...

3. S. Park is a equal opportunity offender!!!!

4. I thought that

Comedy Central was not going to air that episode again? I just scanned the Rolling Stone article about Scientology where I thought I read it, but I was mistaken. It must be a rumor I picked up off Dlisted.

I am sorry to hear about Isaac Hayes. I really liked Chef. And no, I don't think it is a coincidence.

10. That was a Catholic episode that shall never cross the eyes of humans

again

11. Which one was it?

It wasn't the one where they mocked Mel Gibson, was it?

12. I think it was the bleeding statue one

The statue of the Virgin Mary that was "bleeding out the ass".

18. Or Red Hot Catholic Love?

Where Father Maxie goes to the Vatican to try to get all priests to stop molesting boys.

17. actually that was in the article

I wonder if the agreement hadn't happened or if Comedy Central is breaking its word.

5. Great Episode

I'm surprised Comedy Central hasn't been sued over it yet.

8. i am going to watch it tonight

I appreciate south park, but I am not a huge fan. I like the boondocks and simpies so much more.

7. It was pretty funny

and not that far from the truth. I loved the captions "This is what they actually believe".

Granted, IMO it's hardly much more nutty than Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, etc., all of which have been mocked and parodied in some way by SP.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. It was a hilarious episode! One of the few I watched in the past season.

They gave a South Park view of what Scientology was, and there were "guest appearances" of Tom Cruise (who wouldn't come out of a closet) and John Travolta.

13. I can't believe anyone can believe Scientology as a religion

Do any of these people ever read about their glorious leader other than in materials generated by Scientology?

14. since when has religion had anything to do with rationality?

[Neil Lisst]

15. true, but I can make excuses for the older ones

But when you can read about your Prophet's life as a science fiction writer, well, that ought to be the stopper for religion.

16. LOL! Tom Cruise won't come out of the closet.....

Hehe!


I'm surprised they haven't been sued yet.
