So word around the campfire is that Issac Hayes has put in to end his contract with Comedy Central and will cease being the Chef character on South Park. Now like many I enjoyed Chef’s wisdom and found him to be a great character. I guess Hayes is a Scientologists and after last seasons episodes slamming Scientology and Catholicism he doesn’t feel like being party to that. Of course he’s stayed around for the years that they slammed many other things. This is what South Park does. I think this hypocrisy of what is off limits is a funny issue. I’ve noticed this before in my life how people will enjoy a show as long as it gels with their world view but find it “not so good” once it contradicts their politics, etc even when the content the jokes are in fact still funny (as quantified by some kind of meter for measuring funny, I’m sure it’s evolving on the net somewhere even as we speak Google Laugh)). Oh well people like that usually give me a good laugh. I just hope that Alphone Mephisto will return to South Park to, in some way, fill the vaccuum that Hayes’ leaving will leave. OR better yet they will work it out OR, as this is the net, it might all just be baseless rumor. On a side note when I tried to do an image search for a pic to dear Alphonse it yielded a dead link and a picture of Christopher Hitchens maybe he could play the new school lunchroom guy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
