I didn’t realize that Isaac Hayes was one of…them. From Soul singer Isaac Hayes quits “South Park”:
Veteran soul singer Isaac Hayes, voice of the libidinous character ‘Chef’ on the satiric cable TV cartoon ‘South Park,’ said on Monday he was quitting the show, citing its ‘inappropriate ridicule’ of religion.
‘There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs … begins,’ Hayes said in a statement.
Hayes, 63, a devoted follower of the Church of Scientology, did not mention a ‘South Park’ episode that aired last fall poking fun at Scientology and some of its celebrity adherents, including actor
Tom Cruise.
