isaac hayes died! this blows! he was a fucking legend in the music biz, wrote the oscar-winning theme song for shaft, and, of course, was most loved by all as chef on south park. he left the show because of the "trapped in the closet" episode, most famous for tom cruise, r kelly and john travolta refusing to come out of stan's closet, and a ludicrously true section about the religious doctrine of scientology. trey parker and matt stone made the astute observation that, as south park are equal opportunity offenders, it was kind of hypocritical of hayes to take offense and leave over an episode mocking his own religion, after mormonism, catholicism, judaism, and much much more had been relentlessly lampooned. whatever, it sucks that he's dead. and he was only as old as my dad! anyway, there's only one good thing that can come of this: COMMEMORATIVE SOUTH PARK MARATHON!
