Singer quits cartoon series
Email to a Friend Printer Friendly Version  

NEW YORK Isaac Hayes is quitting "South Park."

The musician who voices Chef says he takes issue with the way show deals with religion.

Hayes acknowledges there's a place for satire, but says there's a time "when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs of others begins."

Hayes is a Scientologist. Last fall, the show poked fun at Scientology and its celebrity followers, including Tom Cruise and John Travolta.

South Park co-creator Matt Stone believes Hayes' quitting "is 100 percent" due to his being a member of Scientology. Stone tells The Associated Press in the past, Hayes has "cashed plenty of checks with our show making fun of Christians."
