I like watching South Park with my eyes. It stimulates my brain and causes me to chuckle with great mirth.

Hoora for South Park. Down here in Australia we take the piss out of everything, that way everything remains equal. Good on ya lads.

The way I see it, if you have a lot of bad people mad at you, then you must be doing something right. Thanks Matt and Trey for all the laughs over the years, keep it up! Now I plan to beat myself to death with a pillowcase full of doorknobs for ever thinking that Tom Cruise was a decent actor. Goodbye cruel world!

I have laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed - keep it coming, fellas. Scientology is a great joke (and so is Tom). Poor Katie and poor alien-baby. Hail Xenu!

The South Park episode from April 12th should really get the whole free speech is about "not taking yourself too seriously" thing rolling along nicely. This Part 2 on the Muslim cartoon issue will be really interesting. All three of us viewers will have a hoot.

What a load of crap. Religious freedom doesn't have to mean being okay with brainwashing money hungry cults. Tom, I'm going to take the nine dollars I had set aside for a two hour brain-melt at the movie theater watching you play the same character you've always played, and spend it on dozens of eggs to throw at the local chapter of your religion. By the way, what desperate person believes in a thing with a name like "Scientology?" You should join my religion, Gullibism. We don't have any exciting spirit invasions or anything but my people are working on it. Can I have a million dollars? Trey, Matt, you are true patriots. God bless your hearts.

It is my very firm belief that Quagmar and the intergalactic BDIU committee need to return to this planet once again. This time, to pick up Tom Cruise and bring HIM to the awards show. I hereby nominate Tom Cruise for BDIU 2006. Anybody second it?

Well, well, first of all Isaac Hayes is a washed up half assed singer from the 70s. I am 46 years old and the only hit I can remember was SHAFT. Big freaking deal. Mr. Hayes had no problem when fun was poked at Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Mormons or any other religion. Plus he kept cashing those checks through all those racial comments like "you little crakers", and objectifing women. Is that what a good scientologist does? As soon as his so called religion takes a little heat, boo...freakin...hoo. Yo dude, if it wasn't for the boys at South Park, you would be sitting in the washed up "D" list celeberity home. On the floor just below Randy Jackson.

As far as Tom Cruise, who cares? OOOOH... Mission Impossible 3. Nobody went to see the first 2. Howerer, everybody I know tunes into Comedy Centeral to see South Park. From what I've seen there is more publicity about Tom knocking up his wife and watching his son play baseball. Yo, Tom, you are almost as washed up as Issac Hayes. Get over yourself, the rest of us have. With all of your money, you think you could at least BUY a sense of humor. Isaac, Tom, grow up you little sissy Mary cry babies. Isaac if you feel that strongly about the mocking of religion, collect up all the money that South Park has paid you over the years, give it back to them, shake one of your boney old dried up digets at them and say, shame...shame...shame.

I think that South Park is a great show and I will continue to watch it no matter what they make fun of. South Park pokes fun at every group, not just scientology. Isaac Hayes is stupid to quit something hes done for so long and I for one am dissapointed in him. He truly has been "brainwashed by a fruity club."

I continuously find myself in awe (and envy) over the magnitude of Matt and Trey's talent. My husband, brother and I all enjoyed fits of crying-near-incontinence laughter over the Closet and Chef Returns episodes - we loathe Cruise and all the other ridiculous celebrities M&T have so keenly zeroed in on. The world can be separated into those who can laugh at themselves and "get it" -- and those who simply cannot. We wholly support Matt, Trey, and South Park (and, incidentally, anxiously await announcement of Team America II.)

-K Valen, suburban mother of four who even "gets" the humor behind Chef Returns "Super Adventure Club" episode....

Mark, it really breaks my heart to call your friends a little dumb, but they are. Everybody who is willing to believe something more because a celebrity said it is dumb and or naive. Celebrities are the weirdest, most spoiled people in a society -- especially A-List Hollywood actors. Sometimes I think that all this crap like Scientology exists for the purpose to publicly separate the fools from the rest. I would never consider discussing any matter with someone who is a Scientologist or better, with someone who does not agree that Scientology is a total scam and Tom Cruise is an inhibited weirdo trapped in the closet.

I'm curious to know if the PDF referenced in this digg entry had influenced them to do a Scientology-themed episode, or the other way around? The dedication page has a Scientology lawyer's name mentioned. When you Google it, you get a lot of hits relating to Scientology suing people for writing about Xenu and other "Scientology secrets." I think Comedy Central was definitely muscled out of re-running the episode. At least the Internet keeps it circulating!

Oh and 1 more thing SOUTH PARK I LOVE YOU!

I think Comedy Central missed out on a golden opportunity. They should have aired the episode and then when Looney McTunes there refused to publicize MI3, they should have come clean and said WHY he refused to promo with them. Make HIM look like an ass, not their bread and butter guys. Although, if that had happened, we wouldn't have had the awesome press release by Matt and Trey. Ever since the infamous April Fools Day ep with Cartman's father/Terrence and Phillip, I've lauded Matt and Trey's genius. Keep up the great work, guys!

Hey folks, from what I gather off the episonde, Trapped in the Closet (and it would've been helpful if the poster had put this up there) Thetans are the term ascribed to the "negative emotions" that the Scientologists use to gauge a persons well-being. Apparently we're all just chock full of em.

You can watch the whole episode here. Scroll down a little once youre on the page...

Trapped In The Closet

I think someone in the Church pressured Issac Hayes to pull out. I was on staff there for a while and gave about $100K over the years, but that didn't stop them from phoning my pregnant wife and threatening her. However, I don't get the posters here who say that Scientology is kooky but other religions are normal.

Obviously the entity that is TomKat has a lot to hide...

And every movie except for the MI series that he has done has a little Homoerotic images (the Volleyball scene or the locker scene in "Top Gun," anyone?)

Looks like he's surrounded by too many Yes people, a definite disease in La-La Land (I am from LA and those people who live north of the 101 are not MY PEOPLE, the working class of South Bay).

I propose this -- any Hollywood celebrity who has that much weight and money becomes disillusioned about what they do...too many yes men surrounding them (see Elvis). SO, like Jury Duty, all able-bodied John and Jane Does must register with the "Hollywood Brain Trust," which pulls a lottery of one person to one hairbrained celebrity -- compensated by the Celebrity -- to spend one year under their charge to prism any career moves, decisions, and ventures under the Joe Publics manner of sensiblities...a "NO" man that would keep yahoos like TomKat from doing stupid things like this.

I don't think Cruise gives a rat's behind about anything SP had to say about scientology (a cult founded by a bad sci-fi author), he's proven in the past that he's overly sensitive about implications that he's gay - he's sued people for calling him gay before and he'll sue again!

And I don't think Viacom gives a rat's behind about whether or not they get sued by Cruise, they're just afraid he'll turn his pal Oprah loose on them!

Cruise has the need to throw his weight around, probably to compensate for being vertically challenged and not a little looney. But then a religion based on the teachings of a science fiction writer can't hold up under criticism like Christian religions and Judaism. I leave out Islam because some adherents are as thin-skinned as Cruise. I was raised a Christian Scientist and endured all the usual taunts of cultism. Cruise just hasn't shoulders large enough to display tolerance.

I have been watching South Park from the begining. Yes, there are episodes where my jaw drops and I say Holy Crap! That is what is so great about the show. As for Mr. Cruise, why get your undies in a bunch over a cartoon? Gee whiz! Is there something you don't want the rest of us to know about your cult? Some deep dark seceret? Tommy, you have every right to voice you opinion but leave it at that. No one was mamed or killed so get over it! Matt & Trey, you have got to have a great episode based on this hooey. Can't wait.

Tom Cruise should grow up! There are far worse things out there than South Park's satire of Scientology!! I think Cruise forgot about the freedom of speech and just went overboard with his whiny outburst... I love South Park and would hate to see it bend over backwards and stop with the satire of Tom's religion. South Park is all about and all for pointing out the silliness of society!

Ditto, ditto, ditto, these people need to be put on check! Anybody with half a mind can already see through this bull, we, as educated people need to show others whats really going on!

What is the diffrence between those who burn and boycott over a cartoon and those who burn and boycott over a cartoon? One group over God, the other over vile humor. People speak about free expression, but when Tom or anyone else says something that's not popular you're ready to shut them up, boycott, or burn them. Again what's the difference? Is the world going to end because you can't see a repeat? How about reading a good book or listen to NPR? Pull yourself away from the tube and interact with your family and friends. The revolution will not be televised.

True South Park fans will continue to watch, whether one episode gets pulled or not. I am a big time fan and was fortunate to have seen it when it aired. In my opinion it is one of the best episodes, next to the Christopher Reeves -- RIP. This is what South Park is about and I honestly think as long as we have this amendment (free speech) it will never end. So keep it up guys.

P.S. I am an African American female and have yet to be offended by SP.

I haven't seen a recent South Park episode in probably 3 years. But I saw the famed Scientology episode, and am so glad I did. I laughed until I farted.

Tom and Isaac...hug it out.

This doesn't surprise me. Oppressing self opinion or even hounding those who oppose them is Scientology's M.O. Go to a site called Clambake.org to read more on Hubbard, Cruise, Travolta and MY PAL....Xenu!

Nicely done, Matt and Trey. The concept of free speech requires us to occasionally hear and see things that are offensive to us. South Park makes fun of everything... Hayes surely understands that. As a Christian, I find portions of South Park offensive, but as an American, I wholeheartedly support Matt and Treys right to say whatever the heck they want.

Viacom executives are wimps! I understand Tom Cruise is a big box office draw (why, I dont know, as I've never cared much for him) but South Park makes a pretty penny for them too. It's a shame everything always comes down to the buck! Tom Cruise needs to stop bad mouthing psychiatry and its drugs and start going to a shrink/therapist of some kind and get on some meds.......he's either manic-depressive or just plain maniacal. And Isaac Hayes? I'm a child of the 70's and always like Isaac but hes shown himself to be such a weak spirited hypocrite over this Scientology stuff that I've lost all respect for the man. Other people have already said it better than I can but how sad that for all these years he had no problem with the shows content and now, all of a sudden, it's some huge affront to him! No wonder right wing conservatives think the entertainment world is comprised of nothing but flakes! Keep up the good work, Matt & Trey! I'll keep watching South Park, and I'll boycott any film and any studio that has anything to do with Tom Cruise (not much trouble for me since I can't remember the last movie I actually paid to see that starred Tom Cruise---Cocktail, maybe?)

Who is Tom Cruise aka Thomas Mopother IV to insult anything? The guy is famous for dancing around in his whitey-tighties and asking for the money to be shown. How anyone can take him or Scientology seriously is beyond me. And for Isaac Hayes, who was wearing that creepy vest msde out of chains in the 70's to take umbrage to this and quit the show? That makes Scientology look even more ridiculous.

It's a strange country now, and free speech is under assault from every direction. The media giants cave to pressure every single time, leaving most readers/listeners/viewers with only snippets of what amounts to propaganda (ex: "talking points"). It seems that the comedians and cartoonists and satirists are among the few voices saying out loud what the rest of us are thinking, AND not turning tail when the pressure is applied. In summary: GO MATT & TREY!

The scary part is that there are so many scientologists. You would think that this was just some bizzare cult, but it is a large mass of people with tons of money...Kind of like the Republicans. And like the Republicans they are nuts! Needless to say all religion is nuts and the major source of the worlds probs, evidenced since the begining of recorded history. I believe in Christianity and I am even Episcopalian like George Bush, however I never knew that being Christian meant that you take money and decrease services for the poor so that you can increase the money for the rich. I want one of those Mercedes Benz golf carts! Also to be a good Christian you apparently have to kill Muslims out of misguided revenge. Normal Christians should hate homosexuals too, because Jesus said they are not his children. All men are created equal, who said that, I dont know? I just got done watching some crazy ass Evangelical tell me that he needs a new ferrari. Yes the Scientologists' are nuts and they mass their money when it could be spent somewhere else...what else is new about this world.

South Park is what we are talking about right? Oh yeah, funny show...not that into it however. Tom Cruise, haven't liked anything you have done since that movie with Balky and Booger...

Thanks Tom Cruise for having the guts to stand up for what you believe!

Trey Parker and Matt Stone,

My faithful minions you are doing well, fight the good fight!!!!

This is all part of the money making machine. Tom Cruise stays in the News, and Southpark is once again Taboo, thus increasing ratings and then revenue. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

This is censorship, plain and simple, wielded by an actor, or should I say, megalomaniac? South Park has parodied everyone in the known universe, including God and Jesus Christ...but, they cant poke fun at Tom Cruise? My husband and I are definitely NOT going to see MI3. Time for your medication, Tom....

PS I'll never miss another episode of South Park again!

Not one South Park episode is devoid of at least one extremely offensive poke at a major world religion, cult, race, sexual orientation, subculture or sensitive issue. Thats what makes it fun! South Park forces us all to step back and see how silly humanity is and lets us laugh about it. I was raised Catholic, yet I laugh when I see David Blaine overpowering Jesus with his magic tricks. If I can take a punch, then so can Tom Cruise. Truly secure individuals and institutions dont need to react to imagined "offenses" because they dont rely on other people for their validation. Tom Cruises actions say a lot about how secure he is.

You have to love their press release!

Run Katie... RUN!!!!

Thank god Nicole Kidman had enough sense to see the mental problems Tom has and got out....she has always been a great actress. Poor Katie... let's see how smart SHE is now...

Tom Cruise launched a missile to swat a fly. South Park is the work of two talented and creative guys who take shots at everyone and everything. Their work helps to retain some sanity in a world controlled by self-centered little men. In the big picture Trey & Matt are Davids against the Goliath Mr. Cruise who is capable from the recesses of his tiny dark closet, of forcing even Paramount, Viacom, and the Comedy Central Network to kneel at the alter of scientology. Suddenly the quest for free speech is an impossible mission.

Given time, Tom Cruise's career will self-destruct based on his own decisions and actions. I just hope Comedy Central and Viacom do not make the same mistake. I applaud Trey and Matt for the stand they have taken and

agree, that until Scientology was the focus, neither Tom Cruise nor Isaac Hayes thought South Park should be censored.

In Comedy Central's defense, I think it was probably likely that Viacom is the main reason for Comedy Central's spinelessness and loss of credibility. After all, Comedy Central doesn't show anything with Tom Cruise in it (because he can't be funny, because that takes intellegence). I just wish people would think about the fact that Tom Cruise never graduated from high school before they follow him of a cliff. Why is our society bending to the whim of a man who wears lifts in his shoes and probably can't write a coherant paragraph? It just makes me sad.

It has gotten increasingly difficult to watch anything with Tom Cruises face on it without thinking, "There's that crazy man again." There's sticking up for yourself and theres being a poor sport who can't take a joke. (I mean, for pitys sake, if Barbra Streisand didn't shut South Park down...). I applaud Trey & Matt for responding to Cruise's infantile tantrum with the lack of seriousness it deserves.

In his life, as in his acting, Tom is just doing what he does best: shout and pout.

From now on, I am going to worship Darth Vadar, and George Lucas is my GOD!!!

Too bad that Isaac Hayes felt it was okay to call little white kids "crackers", and insult fat people, and make fun of old people, etc (hey it was all fine by ME), but when they point out some of the more hilarious aspects of his personal religion, he's out of there. Guess he was doing just fine until Tom probably put the hammer on him, too. I didn't hear him complain after the first time it was aired. What a hypocrite! Will he return the tainted money he got for it? Tom Cruise, like a lot of fatherless people, will fall for anything. The only role he has done in the last 10 years that is worth anything was in Collateral. He's just a parody of himself. Here's to South Park. And artistic expression! I don't want Tom to go away - I want to see what idiocy he will come up with next! Maybe he and his Stepford fiancee will be beamed up!

These things happen. At least it is a very insignificent event. Hey, our men & women are still dying in Iraq. A cartoon controversy. BIG DEAL!

Tom Cruise must be on very shaky ground inside. To be unable to tolerate a little tweaking... a challenge from a comedy show...? That is being very "button-pushable" and reactive indeed. One would think that a discipline would teach people first of all to master those reflexes, not to lash out against the uncomfortable message.

If Scientology has any useful insights, it does not need "defenders" like Tom Cruise overreacting in public and making Hollywood power plays. If there is any useful psychology there, those insights stand or fall on their application by people, and right now the example in the spotlight looks more like a petulant and wealthy Hollywood despot, than one who has learned how to be a kinder and better person.

At some point it may be that the whole house of cards comes down because of such an example.

America isn't the land of the free; it's the land of the rich. Money shapes this nation, and those who have it run it. Americans hold entertainers like Cruise on such a high pedastool that it's no surprise their attitudes towards the rest of the world is reminescent of how the Gods viewed the Greeks. As insignificant peons whose sole purpose in existing is to worship them. Hats off to Trey and Parker!

You know, I've been reading some of the comments left by you guys here and for the record, don't blame Comedy Central for the new statement from Matt and Trey. It just feels like to me that Hayes has either become a hypocrite in this whole thing, or "someone" in the church just put the pressure on him to leave. Of course, all the controversy didn't stop him from cashing in those checks now, did it? Loosen up here, folks. Maybe some of you have just become a little too much politiclly correct and forgetten a joke when you here one, even if this press release just tried to give this whole thing a little levity.

The last half of the episode in question is just a simple retelling of what Scientologists believe at the higher levels. Stone and Parker didnt need to make anything up, because Scientology is hilarious at first glance.

In response to an earlier comment, boycotts arent generally very effective in situations like these.

Yes, I will have to wait on Mission Impossible 3 to hit the video store -- then maybe on the free weekend rental day... maybe. Tom, you're an idiot.

Here's the really funny part about all this...besides the really funny part about how Matt and Trey responded: the media coverage created by the scientologists heavy-handed response to the "Closet" episode brought many people to SouthPark to see it who never would have known about it otherwise. Like me. Now they're messing with free speech in America? Way to go, braintrusts! You've convinced me that you will use your considerable influence to impede our constitutional right of free speech. Mission Unpardonable.

I am amazed that people here have such poor taste that they call South Park "art" with a straight face. Lets face it, South Park is 100% moronic trash. It is quite literally funneled from the sewer.

Sure they have a "right" to say what they want. But with freedom comes responsibility, a concept that the South Park creators would likely sneer at.

I have no problem with laughing at myself and I appreciate good satire. Problem is this cartoon program wouldn't know humor if their whoopie cushion bit them. It's a real shame when the vilest scum scraped from a dumpster wall is called entertainment. No wonder the United States trails other developed nations in education and continues to decline. We've become a nation of numbskulls and pinheads.

Any incorrect information contained herein shall be disregarded and considered void. Typos are everywhere! Now for my points...

Talking boycotts..., we had a party over here, and all the teens and 20-somethings rounded up all their Cruise, Travota, and Hayes material and had lots of fun seeing them all melt in the big fire they made. Plastic smells really bad when it burns! Theres a lot of talk of boycotting everything having to do with actors, whoever, and whatever, involve with Scientology. This talk did include Viacom and Comedy Central as well.

I myself have found South Park to use its strange and shocking humor as a vehicle to express views on real issues, although a little twisted at times. But never the less, the underlying issues are expressed or hinted, using such humor. Remember, Mr. Hubbards was a "fiction" writer, and his whole Dianetics and Scientology should really be deeply questioned. Historians are fairly sure about Moses, Jesus, Mohamad and others, as agreed upon by many as being likely, or as being historically real. The Vatican is said to have 2000 year old documents on the obtopsy of Jesus, for example. Mohamad was factual as well, and therefore has my full respect as a real person, even though I'm not currently a Muslim. The first Buddha was a real person, and is written in historic fact. With all the history, we surely can't bypass the Jews (nor should we). Many western Indian tribes have a connection with the sky and earth, which are very real things, and with animals and plants as beings of spirit like us, which seems fair enough to me. But Thetans and Xenu? Sounds like a fiction writer at work to me. Martains from Venus... Tweeetweeetweeee... Wooooeeeeooooww...

Anyway, the South Park speech that we are supposed to be free to express, has been censored against the rights of the show creators, and against the rights of the public, and it looks like Viacom and Comedy Central just don't get it. They'll likely pay for their position. Too bad. And it looks like a bunch is brewing in the direction that a lot of people are just sick and tired of such weakness within the networks when it comes to the rights of the artists and the viewers of art. As to these rights, Scientology acts as a cancer, using the arts (Cruise, Hayes, etc.), as a channel of infection. Our constitutional rights should be the medicine to cure this cancer, should the networks (Viacom, Comedy Central) have the strength to standup and use it in order to protect the rights of the artists, and viewers of art, as these networks should be held responsible for doing. But no, they're gutless and lack concern for our rights. Their money takes priority over the presentation dished out to the consumer. I hate to say it, but Cable and Dish networks share in this blame as well, and need to step up to the plate on rights issues.

Also Hubbards, please stop sending your trash to my mail box, as I have requested many times over the past 19 years. I liken it as the same as spam, and demand to see it stop. My home is a private place, and therefore should not be subject to "outside" free speech, as my choices of material entering my home is mine to make, and your "junk mail" is not on the welcome list. It is a waste of paper that I have been forced to deal with. Much of it fills my city landfills and kills trees. I'd rather see the ladies in the Macy's ads anyway, thank you.

One last thing folks, Please watch those fires... bad for the air quality, and you could get hurt or worse! Please obey all safety, and respect your local laws. Use a CD grinder if you have one. Thanks!

P.S. Yo Hayes, best of luck finding your next job! Maybe the Thetans will hire you. Dont want to get stuck working for those Xenu folks! And look over your sholder. I think Cruise is right behind you if he keeps it up.

Matt and Trey, do keep it up!!!

I really hope that Matt and Trey skewer Cruise in this upcoming season.

The only thing more dissapointing then Katie Holmes being ruined, would be South Park being ruined. Please don't take this lying down Matt and Trey. Tom must be dealt with in the only you two can, an unapologetic episode ripping Tom Cruise even worse than "Trapped in the Closet". Get em guys!

This shows how much power those Scientology creeps wield behind the scenes in Hollywood. South Park satirizes any other religion one the planet, and there followers may complain to the FCC, but remain ignored by the network. But get this fake Scifi cult angry and the episode gets pulled. At least it got aired in November and rerun a couple of times back then.

I also can't believe that Isaac Hayes can live with things like "chocolate salty balls" on South Park but can't take some fun being poked at Scientology. I mean, didn't he know after his first season that the show is all about equal opportunity ribbing? I don't have cable right now so I only watch South Park reruns on network TV, and who knows how much is cut from those episodes? Now I'm going to show my support for Trey and Matt by making it a point to catch first run episodes on Comedy Central. What else can we do? So far we have 1)Dont watch Tom Cruise and 2) watch South Park.

I used to be an atheist until this. Now I'm with Matt and Trey, hail Xenu!

Being in public relations, I must say that I hope to one day be able to write a golden press release/statement such as this one. Rock on.

You know, a response like this one by Comedy Central is a horrifying way of validating the murder of the film director Theo Van Gogh and all of the recent violence surrounding the Danish depictions of Islamic fanaticism. But I guess fair is fair. Maybe this is just Comedy Central's way of doing their part to keep the playing field level. I didn't realize that free speech was such a cheap and disposable commodity. Well, Comedy Central won't be much to tune in to if they are going to cower whenever Tom and his fanatically religious comrades assault the artists and destroy the art that we viewers come to experience.

The answer to the outrage is simple; boycott anything that Tom and his fellow cult members are involved in.

He pressured Comedy Central by threats of lost revenue, Comedy Central fans should treat him to the same treatment!

And this is the "Land of the Free"? It just seems incomprehensible to me how in a so called free, and perhaps educated country, a un-educated man can have so much power simply because he is a mediocre actor with some box office attraction. He doesn't even have a pretty nose!! Go figure!

What Mark said. I can't do better.

So, animation and Dianetics have finally crossed swords. If only we could thrust a story board into L. Ron Hubbards cold dead hands to let him indicate what "Chef" (a/k/a "Hot Buttered Soul")should do about South Park. Should he just "walk on by" or stay and stand his ground with the small fry.

Shame on Viacom and Comedy Central.

I liked their choice (if it was their choice) of which South Park to air - maybe that was up to the network. The one that aired Wed. night was the one when Chef sang about his "chocolate salty balls." If he has no second thoughts about something like that, but he doesn't like the stuff they say about HIS religion, he is nothing but a hypocrite!!! JMHO

Everyday I find another reason to hate Tom Cruise more and more. First, there was him giving out free, unsolicited, "expert" advice on therapy that made my friends say, "You know...maybe he has a point..." They thought, and Tom Cruise probably knew, that my friends, and intelligent people like them, do manage to give credence to the words of someone simply because he is a celebrity. As someone who has greatly benefited from weekly therapy sessions with a trained and qualified therapist, I can say Tom Cruise's notion that he has any right to speak as an "expert" because of his quasi-spiritual beliefs irks me to no end. Now he, and his Scientoligist ilk, are trying to interfere with my choice of entertainment. If Tom Cruise and (I hate to say it) Isaac Hayes can't take a satire or a farce being produced about their religious beliefs, then their faith is obviously not that strong. I'm Polish Catholic...and believe me...I've been taking satirical abuse for being BOTH of those my entire life and I've learned to let people have a laugh at them if they wish. If we can't laugh at ourselves, then we're bound to lash out at others, but telling them they're ignorant, or we try to silence their freedom of speech (hmmm...funny...that's what Tom is doing). Fight the good fight Trey and Matt.
