Chef Not A Quitter

The theory: Isaac Hayes - great R'nB singer and songwriter of the '60's and '70s, and voice of "Chef" on South Park, might not have jumped. He might have been pushed, says Roger Friedman, Fox's entertainment guy:

I can tell you that Hayes is in no position to have quit anything. Contrary to news reports, the great writer, singer and musician suffered a stroke on Jan. 17. At the time it was said that he was hospitalized and suffering from exhaustion.
And to the Onion:
AV Club: They did just do an episode that made fun of your religion, Scientology. Did that bother you?

Hayes: Well, I talked to Matt [Stone] and Trey [Parker] about that. They didn't let me know until it was done. I said, '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 [expletive], you know?' But I understand what they're doing. I told them to take a couple of Scientology courses and understand what we do. [Laughs.]

Hmmmm.

Scientology does have a reputation of sorts for applying pressure to its' more prominent suckers when it comes under attack/ridicule. Perhaps they threatened Mr. Hayes with outing him as the Pat Boone/New Christy Minstrels enthusiast we all know he is if he didn't quit the show. Oh, I'm playing with fire here.
