South Park Studios has made every South Park episode ever made available online for absolutely free and uncensored.  The minor downside of "free" is that you have to sit through three short ads during each episode.  Link [via]

Turns out Isaac Hayes didn't quit South Park after all.  According to the New York Post, "Hayes has been away ... because he had a stroke."  He was not the one to issue the press release saying that he was quitting the show due to religious issues.  As a matter of fact, Scientologist, Christina Kimball, issued the press release.  According to foxnews.com, "Hayes loves South Park and needs it for income.  He has a new wife and a baby on the way."  [via]

Update:  Hayes' rep reassures media that Hayes did leave on his own.

Singer Isaac Hayes is leaving South Park and the future of the popular cartoon character, Chef, is unsure.  Hayes provided the voice to Chef since the show's debut in 1997.

Co-creator Matt Stone stated:

In 10 years and over 150 episodes of South Park, Issac "never had a problem with the show making fun of Christians, Muslim, Mormons or Jews.

He got a sudden case of religious sensitivity when it was his religion featured on the show.

The episode that sparked Hayes' departure was the episode where Stan was believed to be the next L Ron Hubbard, the late founder of Scientology.

Hayes, a devout Scientologist, says:

The show was insensitive to "personal spiritual beliefs."

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.

Producers of the show are unsure if this will be the end of Chef.

UPDATE:  Tom Cruise used his Scientology powers to get Comedy Central to cancel the Scientology South Park episode.

UPDATE:  Here is recent CNN coverage of the South Park vs. Cruise hoo-ha.  I don't know how long the video will be there for so watch it while you can.

UPDATE:  The Superficial has posted the Scientology South Park episode.  Enjoy!
