"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun!"
That's from a statement Trey Parker and Matt Stone made regarding Tom Cruise getting a re-run yanked due to it taking the piss out of Scientology and Tom Cruise himself. Last week, Isaac Hayes quit, citing he was tired of their intolerance and bigotry, but Parker and Stone called shenanigans on that.
From their statement on Hayes' leaving: "This is 100% having to do with his faith in Scientology...He has no problem — and he's cashed plenty of checks — with our show making fun of Christians."
Personally, I'm on their side. South Park is about having fun and messing with people. If you get mad at them, it doesn't really bother them. You just make their point for them. And besides, they're right most of the time!
