[...] First, it is alleged that Tom Cruise and Scientology are blackmailing Comedy Central over a controversial episode of “South Park” making fun of the cult. Now, Roger Friedman has an odd piece at Fox News alleging that, contrary to last week’s reports that Isaac Hayes had quit South Park because they made fun of Scientology, in fact “someone quit it for him.” Further, “Hayes is in no position to have quit anything.
