I dunno, it's not like they killed him. Or like Isaac Hayes was brainwashed by an organization of pedophiles* and torn apart by a mountain lion and a bear. I'm sure they're saddened by the news, but I doubt they feel any guilt about it. I imagine the next show will have an "In Memoriam" slide at the end, probably with Chef macking some chick.

* Perhaps the only good thing I have to say about them... to my knowledge, there haven't been any reports of pedophilia coming from the CoS.

I saw that one. Someone needs to keep an eye on big S. At least until they get that Avengers movie made.

When I first saw that picture, I thought they were holding lightsabres to mock Sam for being in "Star Wars".

Yeah. My imagination is sort of problematic.

I just read that we have Isaac Hayes to blame for disco. I am sorry, but I think he is at least going to have to spend some time in purgatory.

He's also responsible for the Blues Brothers biggest hit. I guess that's personal preference whether helps his case or not.

They did. Hayes said the show went too far when they did a show where they talked about Xenu and thetans and whatnot. The South Park people said he was being a hypocrite, since he was perfectly happy to cash his checks for shows that were just as critical of christianity.

So they did a show where all of Chef's lines were clearly dubbed in from other episodes so they could kill him off. Except at the end he was resurrected in a ##### suit that looks a lot like Darth Vader. That was two or three seasons ago, but it was the last Chef was mentioned on the show.

"In an interview for The A.V. Club on January 4, 2006, Hayes was again asked about the episode. Hayes said that he told the creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, "Guys, you have it all wrong. We're not like that. I know that’s your thing, but get your information correct, because somebody might believe that shit, you know?" He then told them to take a couple of Scientology courses to understand what they do. In the interview, Hayes defended South Park's style of controversial humor, noting that he was not pleased with the show's treatment of Scientology, but conceding that he "understands what Matt and Trey are doing.""

So  where do Scientologists go when they die? And did the soul man believe his soul was trapped here by an evil space warlord from a volcano?

I'm not saying the Blues Brothers did it first/best, just that it's the song the Blues Brothers are best known for performing. Besides, I don't think they did any original material at all. Part of the concept of the characters was keeping classic blues/&c music in the mainstream.
