Sic transit gloria. Chef, we hardly knew ye. (But the wommens sure did!)It's astonishing to me that South Park has lasted as long as it has. That the writers continue to find things to parody is not a surprise. What is surprising is how they've managed to sustain sufficient audience interest in the adventures of four foul-mouthed fourth graders for so long. And that they seem able to make each new new more tasteless than the last.
I rather suspect that South Park will be able to continue unabated, popping the balloons of social convention with its bizarre combination of wide-eyed innocence and excessive vulgarity, offending the powerful and priggish, without Isaac Hayes' services. But it's too bad; he lent a special kind of cool to the show.

I liked the Chef character. I think the Scientologist pressured him into quitting, they could not sue them, since the end of the episonde the dared them to sue them, so this was the next best thing.
But, Hayes did not write the songs. They will be just as funny if somone else sings them.
