One Good Move has a news clip about the latest move in the South Park/Scientology/Chef battle. Isaac Hayes, Chef, reportedly quit after South Park mocked his “religion”, the Church of Scientology.

Seems it was OK to be Chef, and take the money, while they satirise everything else on the planet but knock a cult and pseudo-science dreamed up by a second rate science fiction writer and that’s a step too far. Matt & Trey respond with The Death of Chef episode using old Chef clips to stand in for Hayes until the character “dies” returning in the form of a Darth Vader parody.

Meanwhile, this week C4 (Channel 4 NZ) back down and apologise for screening the “Bloody Mary” episode a few weeks ago, which rated six times the usual audience. Will they screen “The Death of Chef”?
