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.”
