Quote from: Matt Stone

"This is 100 percent having to do with his faith of Scientology, he has no problem - and he's cashed plenty of cheques - with our show making fun of Christians."

He probably thought it was all ok until Cruise had a word in his ear. Oh well no more salty balls.

What an idiot. He had no career left before joining South Park.

I loved his work in "I'm going to get you Sucka!!"

Producers have yet to decide whether the Chef character will be axed or re-voiced.

Yeah right, They're just planning a special way to axe him.

I think he should die by Tom Cruise's hands, since that what really killed Chef.

They killed Chef. You b@st@rds!

I.E. They didn't offer me much money this time so I chose my religion instead.

fredster · « **Reply #10 on:** March 14, 2006, 02:58:22 pm »

Chef was played out, like Token is played out. I don't think they would have gotten rid of him though. I think he had potential.

They killed the bus driver with the bird in her head. I think it would be funny if the scientologists killed Chef.

Funny how he was okay with Jesus with Machine guns and Santa killing Iraqis but he had a problem with this episode.

I'll do it. They can cast me as 'cook' and we'll bash scientology until the cows come home (or show up and worship a giant cow statue). Jeez, scientology isn't even a religion! It's a science fiction mook!

Stupid chef.

Long live Cook!

I think the south park people will have a real problem replacing a washed up,sold out,has been soul singer because you don't find many of them in the States.

Michael Jackson is now hurting for cash.
He could add a disturbing twist, instead of chef making all the women happy he could be making all the children happy.

Remarkable how Isaac looks exactly like the guy who played "Chocolate Mousse" in Top Secret......

edit: it wasn't Isaac... the guy's name was Eddie Tagoe, but the resemblance was uncanny....

Isaac is a Scientologist idiot. That is why he quit.

It's funny how you can loose all respect for someone right about same time you figure out they've been brainwashed into scientology. They'll never take me alive I tells ya!

Agreed. Although I give Beck all the leeway in the world, 'cuz he makes such beeeuuu-ti-ful music.
I was depressed for a month after I found out he was a Scientologist.

At least Beck was born into it.

I am licking my chops at the thought of what they are going to do with the chef character.

What do Scientologists believe? Are they Christians? Do they believe in a robot god? Do they believe in god? Does anybody know besides actors?

First, realize Scientology was started by a science fiction writer.

Here's the condensed South Park version, aparently there's some truth to it and this episode has been 'recalled' due to legal pressure from the scientologists, Comedy Central have agreed never to air this episode again and it will not be on any DVD:

Quote from: South Park - Episode 9x12- Trapped in the Closet

President:   Usually, to hear the secret doctrine, you have to be in the church for several years, Stan. [leans in] Are you ready to hear the truth?
Stan:   I, I guess.
President:   You see, Stan, there is a reason for people feeling sad and depressed. [leans in] An alien reason. It all began 75 million years ago. Back then there was a galactinc federation of planets which was ruled over by the evil Lord Xenu.
Xenu:   Ho ho ho ho ho ho.
President:   Xenu thought his galaxy was overpopulated, [Xenu gives his orders] and so he rounded up countless aliens from all different planets, [the roundup is shown] and then had those aliens frozen. [one by one, the aliens are frozen]
Xenu:   [laughing over his plan] Wa ha ha ha!
President:   The frozen alien bodies were loaded onto Xenu's galactic cruisers, which looked like DC-8s, except with rocket engines. The cruisers then took the frozen alien bodies to our planet, to Earth, and dumped them into the volcanoes of Hawaii. [a shot of the frozen aliens encased in ice being dropped from the orange cruisers] The aliens were no longer frozen, they were dead. The souls of those aliens, however, lived on, and all floated up towards the sky. But the evil Lord Xenu had prepared for this.
Xenu:   Wa ha ha ha!
President:   Xenu didn't want their souls to return! And so he built giant soul-catchers in the sky! [the soul-catchers are shown] The souls were taken to a huge soul brain-washing facility, which Xenu had ALSO built on Earth. [the souls are watching a movie screen with 3D glasses] There the souls were forced to watch days of brainwashing material [Egyptian gods, Jesus carrying the Cross, and a bronze Buddha statue are shown] whiched tricked them into believing a false reality. Xenu then released the alien souls, which roamed the earth aimlessly in a fog of confusion. At the dawn of man, the souls finally found bodies which they can grab onto. They attached themselves to all mankind, which still to this day causes all our fears, our confusions, and our problems. [Stan looks at the president, a bit awed] L. Ron Hubbard did an amazing thing telling the world this incredible truth. Now all we're asking you to do... [hands Stan a pen and some paper] is pick up where he left off.

This is what they really believe!

I loved the one where they dissed the mormons. It too was pretty accurate.

Why can't they just cite "free speech?" A friend told me it was supposed to have aired in the last few days, but wasn't. It looks as though this may be correct then.

How can a cult hold so much power over people? Can Matt and Trey really be that easy to push around? This just can't be happening.

In this case, the literature associated with Scientology (aka their "teachings") is copyrighted material and they enforce those rights strictly to control who can and can't access this material. They also have lots of money to pay for lawyers.

I'm pretty sure that Matt and Trey have absolutely zero to do with the episodes once they have finished making them. Every time they are interviewed and asked about the larger South Park franchise their stock answer is that although they get paid for their work, they don't really control it once it has been written/animated.

I find it extremely believable that Comedy Central basically went - "whelp, the zealots can always grab themselves a torrent, and we have no interest in spending X million dollars in legal battles for a cartoon."

Well, considering most of what L Ron wrote for Scientology was in the 1950s it will soon be out of copyright.

hypernova · « **Reply #38 on:** March 16, 2006, 05:26:19 pm »

Do any other religions copyright their material?

Isn't the purpose of copyrighting for profiting off of whatever is copyrighted? When was it copyrighted?
I suppose that's a good reason to stop the episode.

It is one of the highest rated/praised episodes, I've read.

Hey, that dang South Park is profiting off our ideas! Get 'em!

Everyone capitalizes the words. I refuse to do that. The religion or the people who are in it. I'll never recognize it as a religion.

fredster · « **Reply #39 on:** March 17, 2006, 10:48:15 am »

This is the best from Matt and Trey, this is after cable net pulled the episode.

"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!!!"

The duo signed the statement "Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu."

Now think about that. Jesus could use m16's to kill Iraqis with no problems from people, but when some made up religion (to get out of paying taxes) is rIdiculed because it's so stupid people go crazy.

ALL Hail Xenu
