The episode, "Trapped in the Closet," first aired in November. It was scheduled to repeat on Wednesday (March 15), a week before the show's new season begins, but it was quietly pulled in favor of "Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls," a showcase for the Chef character voiced by Isaac Hayes, who quit "South Park" this week over what he called the show's "intolerance and bigotry towards religious beliefs."
Which leaves the last word with Stone and fellow "South Park" creator Trey Parker, who released, no kidding, the following statement to the trade paper (emphasis and exclamation points all Parker and Stone's):
"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bit do save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!! [Signed,] Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu."
