[edit] Citations
This article is seriously lacking in the citations department Anyone who edits this article in the future should make sure to cite whatever they put on --Gilimonster 16:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Scientology?
I can't find anything to verify the claim that Matt Stone or Trey Parker "...along with Isaac Hayes are well known members of the Church of Scientology". I can find plenty of references to Isaac Hayes being a scientologist, none for Matt Stone or Trey Parker. What is the basis for this claim? (unsigned 03:58, 29 June 2005 by 24.22.182.188)
edit by someone who does not know how to use this system: one south park episode criticised scientology. I believe it was season nine, episode 12.
If you listen to the commentary to the season 4 episode "Timmy! 2000" they mention that Isaac Hayes got a big kick out of the episode because, in Trey's approximate words, "Scientologists, for all the crazy things they do, are really against Psychology." This goes on a bit, the point being: Hayes IS, Stone/Parker are not. They are also not Mormon. - Darkhawk (3 March, 2006 3:20 PM EST)
[edit] Half-Jew?
If his mother was/is Jewish, he is a Jew, not a half Jew, according to traditional Jewish beliefs. See: Who is a Jew? --Der Sporkmeister 00:15, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
- Well, that's as may be. But his mother was a non-practicing Jew, and to be the best of my limited knowledge, Matt has never explicitly declared himself to be an observant Jew, either. I guess the safest thing one could say, is that he is of Jewish descent. Not that it really matters to me what Matt Stone believes in, as long as he doesn't start jumping couches. -- Jalabi99 12:01, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
yeah, he would be jewish according to jewish tradition but he prefers the "biological" explaination, showing that he actually doesn't give a shit to jewish ancestry.
- "Jewish" refers both to a religion AND a race. It is quite possible to be Jewish and not believe in god. Therefore whether or not a Jew "practices" or is "observant" is utterly irrelevant. -- 86.17.211.191 13:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cannibal! The Musical
IMDB doesn't give Matt a writing credit in Cannibal! or in the credits of the DVD. Where are we getting him as a writer and producer?
[edit] He is Not Pro Life!
Along with Trey, someone put up that they were "Pro Life celebrities". There is no evidence supporting this and there is probaly more pointing towards Pro-Choice (If you need to see the evidence, go to Talk:Trey Parker), even though there is not enough evidence to go either way.
[edit] Article Seems to Be Lifted Nearly Wholesale
While looking for clear pictures of his wife Emma Sugiyama to place within this article, I found page]. As you can see, this article seems to have been lifted nearly wholesale from the page. I wonder what others thing about removing or otherwise re-editing the article here on Wikipedia, so that it is less derivative of the other page. -- Jalabi99 12:11, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vegan?
This article states that he's a vegan, but doesn't provide any evidence to support that claim, and google searches have proven fruitless. 24.111.62.76
[edit] Writer or not?
Does Matt Stone help write any of the South Park episodes? He isn't listed with the staff writers in the credits, and Trey's the only main writer listed. Dr. Trey 11:31, 28 May 2006 (UTC) Trey writes the final scripts from the episodes but the ideas come from Trey,Matt and several other writers. Matt also wrote the final scripts from several episodes of the first three seasons. User:Alfredosolis
[edit] Trey Parker has a longer article than Matt Stone
Is there any reason why Trey Parker has a longer Wikipedia article than Matt Stone? It's almost twice the length with more pictures and biographical information. They are often mentioned in the same breath as one another and it seems odd that there is such a difference. -thealexfish 24.131.157.78 09:21, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
You make a good observation. I think, however, that you're asking the wrong question. Honestly, Parker and Stone are two different people! Just because "they are often mentioned in the same breath as one another" doesn't mean they have to have the same-length Wikipedia entries! If you have information to contribute to Stone's article, then by all means do so, but the lengths of the articles are completely irrelevant! 71.201.59.110 08:47, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Brother
Does Matt has an adopted brother? or Ike is just an idea.
- More importantly, does John Stamos have a brother? That article says yes, the Big Gay Al episode article says no. Inconsistency abounds. --Fire Star 火星 01:04, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Republican?
In a lot of South Park related sites, there is talk of Stone having claimed to be a Republican. Didn't he say that while being given an award at a event run by a prominent liberal? If so, it seems to be an acceptance-speech type of joke, meant to be ironic and not to be taken seriously. Now, it is clear that I have no idea if this is actually the case or not, I am just wondering if anyone else does. Let me know here or on my talk page. Tractorkingsfan 14:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kerry donation & citation; MySpace link
This sentence was previously part of the trivia section: "He gave $1000 to Democrat John Kerry's presidential campaign on April 28, 2004" with the accompanying link: [1] The Matthew Stone from this link doesn't appear to be the same Matt Stone this page describes, as I don't think he was ever associated with "Stone Dog Productions, Inc.", so I deleted the sentence. Also, a previous version of the article included a link to a Myspace account that didn't appear to be legitimate, which I also deleted. frakkingjossome 23:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Michael Moore
I remember a Spin Magazine article where Trey Parker said distinctly: "I fucking hate that guy." I'll try to look it up, but it directly contradicts what's on the page now. Check out September 2005 issue, I believe that is where the quote is. --Jamesanth2 03:11, 7 April 2007 (UTC)jamesanth2 Ok, unfortunately all I can find is this blog article which talks about the existence of this interview and then says that you can't find it online. Read it if you're interested. http://www.spitbull.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_spitbull_archive.html--Jamesanth2 03:21, 7 April 2007 (UTC)Jamesanth2
