The creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, had to kill off Hayes’ character “Chef” by turning him into a pedophile, then tossing him off a bridge, burned, stabbed, mauled by a lion and a grizzly bear.

...except that Issac Hayes may not have written the statement supposedly from him quitting the show, and he previously said in a radio interview that he had no problem with the episode he supposedly quit over.

BBC News:
Soul singer Hayes recently announced he had left the show because of its "intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs".
But co-creator Matt Stone said: "In 10 years and over 150 episodes of South Park, Isaac never had a problem with the show making fun of Christians, Muslim, Mormons or Jews.
"He got a sudden case of religious sensitivity when it was his religion featured on the show."
well, it's not pretty writing characters out of South Park.
I was surprised that Hayes left the show after so many years of mocking everyone and everything. I guess Tom Cruise must've put the screws to him.
