Singer Isaac Hayes is to stop providing the voice for a character in cartoon South Park because he objects to its "inappropriate ridicule" of religion.

Hayes, 63, who is the voice of the lustful Chef, has been a regular on the show since its US TV debut in 1997.

So they will replace Chef with who? Bah it was going a bit downhill anyway

Must be just an excuse.

I have to agree with Matt Stone on the issue...

Stone said: "In 10 years and over 150 episodes of South Park, Isaac never had a problem with the show making fun of Christians, Muslim, Mormons or Jews.

"He got a sudden case of religious sensitivity when it was his religion featured on the show."

(from the link above)

One of the reasons I like South Park is that they don't pander to anyone, and they treat everyone with equal disdain
