The Double Edge

Fuck you if you can't take a joke.

Especially after helping make similar jokes about everyone else.

So, Isaac Hayes quit South Park after something like eight years. He provided the voice for the character of Chef, and had some of the shows more memorable lines.

Why did he quit? He says it's because he can no long accept the shows take on religion. A common topic, the show pokes fun of Jewish, and Christian religious ideals with regularity. Kinda makes you wonder, though. He said he can't support that type of show, but he was a member of the cast for eight years? So, what changed?

Well, they made fun of HIS religion. Scientology. It is a religion that BEGS to be made fun of. There have been few religions in the world that beg to be made fun of more than scientology. It has all the makings of a standup joke. It ranks right next to "Two Jews walk into a bar..." jokes. And apparently, it’s all fun and games until it’s his beliefs in the crosshairs.

It's hypocritical. Not surprising perhaps, but it's still pretty messed up IMO.

It's a joke. Either you get it or you don't. If you don't, you had no place on that show eight years ago.

In Hayes defense, he was probably ordered by the church to quit the show or be cast out and then screwed over by those cult members in the industry ;)

And the die hard members all seem brain washed anyway, so its not like he probably makes any real decisions in his life of consequence. Its all for the good of the 'church'.

Probably true. But then the focus of the rant goes from Him to Them. Same rant.

How does that line go.... something about 'those without sin being able to cast the first rock'?

I agree tho, if you're making money from poking fun at the whole spectrum of mankind, why the fuck should it be a surprise when it's your turn?

One of my favorite Bible passages actually.

John 8:1-11

1Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Oh well, I guess he doesn't understand that some of the funniest people are able to make fun of themselves. Guess he ain't quite the cut-up he thought himself to be.
