South Park v. Scientology War Continues (Great Fun!)
South Park v. Scientology War Continues (Great Fun!)
We recently posted how Hollywood notable Isaac Hayes (himself a scientologist) recently parted ways with his South Park employers in a snit over their having poked fun at his beloved Scientology in one of their episodes.
As the South Park creators noted: Hayes never seemed to object to any episodes mocking Christianity. For him, Scientology was apparently sacrosanct.
Well, South Park is not ABOUT to stop poking fun at Scientology – especially after a recent South Park broadcast spoofing the faddish faith was cancelled from its scheduled television airing – some say at the behest of uber Scientologist, Tom Cruise. (Hat tip: Drudge.)
This temporary set-back has apparently only strengthened the desire of the South Park creators to keep making fun of Scientology.
As a Christian, I do not have a dog in this fight. Additionally, I view South Park as degrading and unedifying.
Nonetheless, I get a kick out of seeing the hypocrisy of the Hollywood Scientology devotees exploited for what it is – Hypocrisy.
I respect the South Park executives for being consistent: They are equal opportunity mockers, at least.

Reminds me of ME..
I'm an equal opportunity racist, I hate everyone equally...
hi, texasfred -- thank you for your comment. There IS something to be said for consistency. I wouldn't say you are a racist -- just a plain old misanthrope, perhaps! ;-) -- gunjam
That I am...
texasfred -- You tickle me! -- gunjam
Wasn't that from a Dirty Harry movie about Harry hating everyone?
hi, bostonmaggie! I have no idea: I will take you as correct on that unless someone cares to try to prove otherwise. -- gunjam
