South Park vs. Scientology
Following the departure of Isaac Hayes last week, Comedy Central pulled
an episode of South Park that lampooned Tom Cruise and
Scientology. What do you think?
Stephen Grossman,
Epidemiologist
"Leave the Scientologists alone, already. Don't they have enough to worry about, what with the tyranny of the galactic God Xenu and his evil body thetans?"
Brianna Hodges,
Industrial Engineer
"Comedy Central has already insulted Scientology with its glib representations of battling robots."
Jeremy Marshka,
Mathematician
"I'm with Isaac Hayes. Shows about testicles, talking feces, and starving Africans are one thing, but discussing Scientology is offensive."
