Los Angeles: Isaac Hayes, the voice of Chef on the satiric cartoon series South Park, says he is leaving the shown because of its "inappropriate ridicule" of religion.
"There is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs and others begins," the 63-year-old said. Hayes, a follower of the Church of Scientology, did not mention a recent South Park episode that poked fun at Scientology and some of its celebrity followers.
A spokesman said the show's creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were disappointed but "feel that it's a bit disingenuous to cite religious intolerance as a reason" for pulling out of the show" because the series has lampooned religion since the start.
Isaac Hayes - Theme from Shaft Lyrics
Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks? Shaft!
Ya damn right!
Who is the man that would risk his neck for his brother man?
Shaft!
Can you dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
Shaft!
Right On!
They say this cat Shaft is a bad motherf..
Shut your mouth!
I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft.
Then we can dig it!
He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
John Shaft!
