The Society for Killing Tom Cruise
In browsing CNN as I eat my lunch, I come upon this article about how they will not be airing a particular Scientology related South Park episode because Cruise had a hissy fit and said he'd refuse to promote his upcoming, sure to suck balls MI-3 if they aired it.
His handlers deny this, and the episode won't air because "In light of the events of earlier this week, we wanted to give Chef an appropriate tribute by airing two episodes he is most known for." Comedy Central is backpedalling.
So I ask-How free is free speech if airing this cartoon is dependant on the whim of the person(s) running the station, and whether or not Tom I'm a complete fucking nutjob" Cruise will promote his crap ass movie? I hate hate hate South Park, but this is bothering me. Alot. What with Nutjob jumping on couches, pretending to be an expert on Postpartum (am I the ONLY ONE who wishes Brooke would just call him out back and whoop his ass?) or calling people "glib" What with him running around pretending that he knows best, impregnanting Katie Holmes, and attempting to seem way smarter than he is.
There is something terrifying about ONE MAN, an actor who never even finished high school being able to dictate what I can watch on TV.
And I agree with the creators:
"So, Scientology, you have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for Earth has just begun," the pair wrote.
"Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!"

Ah yes, that was funny really. I had to hunt down the episode on youtube.com out of spite just to watch it.
Freaking hilarious. I hate SP too.

I am seriously loathing Ass Cruise and Comedy Central right now.
I almost wish they'd INTENTIONALLY re-air that episode just so us viewers wouldn't be subjected to any MI:3 trailers. It's not like anyone's gonna see that shite anyway.
Just...UGH!!!!

Where do I sign up?
And The Superficial has the entire ep up, if anyone wants a protest viewing.

It's the principal for me. And I find it more than a little frightening that he has this much power. I really do.
I might just go do some protest viewing.

Tom Cruise is a midget with a tiny penis. We've been enemies for years.

Tom Cruise isn't the horrible man (besides for his requests) but the people who give in to his demands are the fools, stuff him with his shit attitude! But what did you expect, money makes the world go round most of the time...

It is time for Tom Cruise to go down! And I'd go kill him myself, but it is rather enjoyable watching him sink his own ship. What a fool.

Oh msn, Tom's really gone off the deep end, eh? Too bad I loved his movie Minority Report.

Crap, I liked that movie too. But that was more because of Colin Farrell. :P

Thordora, why do you hate Southpark? Is it all the swearing? Or what?

Two things: I also hate hate hate Southpark. And yes, Brooke definately needs to retaliate. He was way out of line on his comments. What happened to adorable Tom Cruise of the Top Gun years?
