It's being reported that Tom Cruise has used his star power to influence Viacom to yank a repeat episode of South Park and their brilliant send up of Scientology (Trapped in the closet). Although Cruises people deny his involvement, Trey and Matt have already struck back in a fashion only they could come up with: "So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! 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!!!"
The episode was already the center of controversy earlier this week when Isaac Hayes (Chef), a Scientologist, quit the show, decrying its religious bigotry.
It's amazing how all of this attention will do nothing more than attract people to the show. I love convenient controversy.
