Yes, a long time ago an evil alien enslaved people and crashed into a volcano on Earth where they became ghosts and possessed the primitive humans living there. South Park has a good explanation of this lunacy
I’ve always wondered if the “THIS IS REAL SCIENTOLOGIST BELIEF” ticker was something planned early on, or if there was a moment of taking the whole thing in and someone went “This is fuckin’ South Park. Everyone is going to think we’re being extreme. We need to clarify.”
I think it was a callback to “All About Mormons,” but I might be misremembering.
One example of clear last-minute sincerity was the two-parter with - and this is a real South Park episode - the manatees that write Family Guy and the prophet Mohammed. The black screen reading “Comedy Central has refused to broadcast of image of Mohammed on their network” was their, uh, compromise, when Comedy Central refused to broadcast the episode as delivered.
Wait, their thing is alien volcano ghosts?
