Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daniel Avery" data-source="post: 439182" data-attributes="member: 27">The odd way the writers/producers of South Park wrote out the character of "Chef" (voiced by Isaac Hayes) seemed very "targeted" at the time, and as the years progressed we learned just how nuts the whole thing was.  Hayes was a member of Scientology and was upset at how the show portrayed it in an episode, though he appeared to let it slide since he got on well with the writers.  He later had a stroke and while he recovered, some members of Scientology claiming to represent him "resigned" him from the show.   The producers wrote Chef out of the series with a death that was for lack of a better term "overkill" which depicted Scientology in an even worse light since the writers had an idea that Hayes had not left of his own accord.</blockquote>
