"And so I pull out my gun!" sings R. Kelly on South Park

A lot of the regular posters on the board at SouthParkStudios.com weren't really impressed with the most recent episode that's entitled Trapped In A Closet but I found it fucking hilarious mostly because it's divine parody infotainment just like All About The Mormons. I already knew the basis of both these religions but if I wasn't aware these episodes would've definitely educated me. Plus you really have to give Matt and Trey credit for having huge fucking balls to mock Scientology which is totally a scary fucking evil cult who go after people who criticize them like crazy rabid dogs. The techniques they use on the people who just joined are pretty much a form of mind control or reprogramming if you will and the stories about members who are audited are just... ugh.

This is a great website that explains Scientology and also documents their various crimes and how they treat members of the church they think are being disloyal:

And here's the actual South Park episode if you want to watch it:

When I first watched this episode I didn't really get the whole bit with R.Kelly randomly showing up and then always lamely talk singing the line, "And so I pull out my gun!" Then I discovered on the SPS board that the title of the episode comes from one of his songs and the "pull out my gun" line is a lyric in said song. I got curious and downloaded the song so I could hear it and my god... it's just fucking painfully bad. I have no idea why but the song is split up into five parts (ex: Trapped In The Closet Chapter 1) and is treated in format and in delivery like it's some sort of epic and brilliant musical novel.

Being a masochist I downloaded the super huge version of the song that puts all five chapters of the song in chronological order. The fucking thing is like 16 minutes long and honestly, this song annoys me yet also cracks me up because I know it's meant to be this great dramatic storytelling event and really it's just super boring storytelling mixed with super lame singing. But that's just my opinion. Listen to the song yourself and see if you agree.

I think R Kelly also did a "live" version at some MTV event - VMAs?? It was almost painful to watch because he tried to act while singing or rapping, actually it was hilarious.
