Hayes finally gets upset about treatment of religion on ‘South Park’

Whenever we write about South Park and religion, people come out of the woodwork. Most recently, readers battled it out in the comments section of this post—about an episode in which a statue of the Virgin Mary was said to be bleeding out of its rear end. Normally, the sane point of view prevails: If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Today, though, a very special South Park complainant has stepped forward: Isaac Hayes, who voices the character of Chef, has quit the show over what he calls its “inappropriate ridicule” of religion.
