South Park gets fiery revenge on Chef's character, whose voice, Isaak Hayes, dropped the series for the sake of his Scientology beliefs.

In the premiere episode of South Park's 10th season, Chef is brainwashed by the "Super Adventure Club" which is thought to be a masked reference to Scientology. Chef repeatedly tells the children he wants to "make sweet love" to them, and children take him to a psychiatrist and a strip club, where Chef remembers his love for women and is cured.

Not so long after that Chef character is struck by lightning, impaled, shot, mauled by a mountain lion, eaten by a grizzly bear, and - suprise, suprise! - accused of being a child molester.

So appropriate for long-time South Park elementary canteen employee.

The gruelling "The Return of Chef!" episode looks like an appropriate response to Hayes' resignation. Hayes did not participate in the episode but his lines were apparently patched together from previous recordings, BBC reports.

The decision to quit South Park was seen as a response to a Scientology-specific South Park episode "Trapped in the Closet" that first aired last November.

"Trapped in the Closet" was pulled from Comedy Central's schedule last week.

Tom Cruise, a Scientologist, and a "Closet" parody target, denied any relation to what looks like an act of censorship.

Isaak Hayes, a Scientologist, said he could no longer support a show that disrespected his religion.

South Park 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."

According to reports Hayes was hospitalized for what was said to be exhaustion. Too much auditing?
