Scientologists Declare War on South Park — and Win
Reports out of Hollywood indicate that the Church of Scientology used its well-known celebrity muscle to pressure Comedy Central into pulling an upcoming episode of the cartoon SOUTH PARK that satirized the religion. According to DAILY VARIETY, the clash between Scientology and the SOUTH PARK creators is escalating in the wake of this latest move. The controversy first gained national attention earlier this week when Isaac Hayes, the voice of the popular character Chef, quit over an episode mocking Scientology and its most famous adherent, Tom Cruise.
