It can be tricky around here when you make a cultural reference to a cartoon. A few months ago I made a comment about someone waking up with "sand in their vagina" - meaning they were crabby & irritable. This "sand in their vagina" or "Sandy Vagina" goes back to a South Park episode. Well anyone who didn't know the South Park episode found it disturbing that I would say anything like that. Since then I've stuck with "Pedro offers you his protection." Its better to quote movies instead of cartoons apparently.

Fuck 'em, you shouldn't censor yourself just because someone might be offended by it, use any word you want to get your point across as clearly as possible that's what their use is...
People who are offended by the use of words are as idiotic as Isaac Hayes being offended by the mockery of his stupidity ("scientology" for the idiots who don't get it...)

I love South Park.

I will miss Chef saying "Hello Children" even when there's only one child there. He was my favorite character on the show.

Yeah he will be missed.
He is the voice of logic & reason in that crazy town.
Although he isn't my favorite character.
My favorite characters are Captain Chaos & General Disarray.

And I just had a horrible thought - does this mean the end for Chef's parents?
Why I'd give $3.50 just to see them again.

Personally, I'm all for making fun of religions or anything else. I don't watch South Park because I don't think it's that funny, but I gotta side with Stone and Parker on this one. Everything's funny until it's about you. They held off on making fun of Scientology for along time because they liked Isaac Hayes, but it would have been hypocritical for them to give Scientology a pass just because of their friendship.

Yep, HAyes is a scientologist and another guy you org people sweat alot, Beck, is a scientologist too.

Personally I try to be respectful but I can't help but think of how stupid you must be to buy in to that crap. Put two and two together> A known liar (the guy claimed to be injured in battle during military service in his autobiography but he never saw combat during his time) who wrote science fiction books. A guy who told others freely that he was thinking of starting a religion because that's where the money is, says aliens from billions of years ago was shipped to Earth and murdered in volcanos because their planet was over crowded and now their spirits are inhabiting people still today (thetins).


Ummmm... sounds like B level, subpar, crappy science fiction to me. But thats just me, what do I know and who am I... Mormans wear magic underwear and have a almost equally laughable origin.

There are lots of famous Scientologists--off the top of my head--Jenna Elfman, Leah Remini, John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Kelly Preston, Kirstie Alley, Giovanni Ribisi, Sofia Milos(CSI Miami) and Juliette Lewis are all Scientologists. I also think Jason Lee and Adam Goldberg might be Scientologists but I have no evidence for that. Part of Scientology's mission is to evangelicize through media figures and to punish through litigation those who speak out against it. And they're always on the lookout for more stars to push their agenda.

I like Jason Lee, so that's too bad, but Adam Goldberg is extremely annoying.

Tom Cruise is a national joke. He was once a promising actor and now he's just a disgrace. Why people bother to watch his movies is a wonder to me.

When people accuse him of being gay, he sues them. Protest too much? Hmmm...

He takes the Mission Impossible franchise which was an ensemble show, and makes it all about himself. Turns the lead character into the villian. In the sequel, further marginalizes his "team" so that the Impossible Mission Force is only one guy--Ethan Hunt. Wow.

Tommy, if you want to make a spy movie and be the American Bond, don't call it Mission Impossible, because you have no idea what the show is really about.

Second, he is such a shill for a CULT. They use him to recruit new members and for all of his real-life "heroics", he never had the balls to come out and repudiate Scientology and the evil they do. He is stuck in a web of their lies and can't extricate himself.

Let's not even get into Tom Cruise Mapother's behavior last year. His rantings about psychiatry come straight out of the Scientology playbook.

Bastid. He should be flogged. No way I'm wasting any money on any of his new movies.

He should take his little arranged marriage and just disappear from the movie landscape. He's forty something marrying a WB girl and we're all supposed to think this is so cool. Too bad, Tommy, that all the A list starlets half your age rejected you. Take someone younger, poorer, and more impressionable into your Scientology cruise ship to hell.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! smile

I would doubt this.
He is producing MI3.
He would only end up hurting himself
& giving South Park a ton of publicity.

On the other hand he has done some bizarre things lately.

wow.

first I learn that "maroon" is NOT an innocent phrase used by Bugs Bunny. THEN I learn that Jason Lee belongs to this ridiculous cult.

Thanks guys. sad

biggrin

Man, Since she seems to be wielding the most power in Hollyweird, I wish Oprah would call this cult out (not to mention she experienced it firsthand with the Cruise couch-jumping incident).

Wendy: He’s a girl, for sure, but he’s not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman. Lisa: Totally. He’s like a fancy lesbian.

Why would Oprah do that? Oprah doesn't engage in any religious battles, and she especially wouldn't do it with those religions that have public figures as big as Tom.

Oprah won't touch religion. And why should she? Just because YOU and some others here don't like a certain religion or call it a Cult? Nope.

I heard that too. I wish they'd aired it anyway. It's not like Tom's 'promotion' helped War of the Worlds. His 'promotional' style is quite erratic and bizarre and I would say MI3 would fare better without it.
