There’s a part of me that can’t help but wonder if this whole furor about Isaac Hayes leaving South Park isn’t some kind of carefully orchestrated publicity stunt. But I have to admit, this is probably the best press release ever:

“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!!! [Signed,] Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu.”

The Daily Llama reports:

Guinness World Record™ officials certified today that 1,789 people had participated in the “World’s Largest Coconut Orchestra” in Shubert Alley on Wednesday, March 22.

Man, all those earlier coconut orchestras must be kicking themselves now.
