thehefner | The ongoing and delightful saga of Trey and Matt vs. Scientology (Reply)

Now as several of you already know, Comedy Central has yanked the infamous Scientology episode of South Park off the air. It was to have been played this past Wednesday, but they replaced it with "Chef-Aid." Now the most popular rumor going around is that Tom Cruise used his star power, but Cruise's publicist is denying it. I know I wouldn't put it past the crazed dwarf, but in my opinion, it could also be a case of Comedy Central pussying out.Here's the article by Variety with all the details, in so far as they have actual details. But the best part?

"While the "South Park" creators didn't directly comment on Comedy Central's decision to pull the episode, they issued an unusual statement to Daily Variety indicating the battle is not over.

"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!"

The duo signed the statement "Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu."

And now tonight they will be airing the season premiere of South Park, in which... Chef returns. That's all we know. Chef is returning.

I cannot wait to see what they do. Cannot WAIT.
