South Park's "Trapped in the Closet" episode, which featured Tom Cruise, R. Kelly, and a lesson on Scientology was scheduled to rerun this Wednesday. It has been canceled, reportedly because Cruise threatened to skip promotional events for his new film Mission: Impossible III (aka A Movie Will Has No Plans Ever to Watch Unless He is Confined to a hospital Bed with only one channel playing "Mission Impossible III" on repeat and He Lacks the Physical Strength to Turn Off the Television and No one will do it for him). The episode - which you can see in its entirety at You Tube - apparently lead Isaac Hayes to quit the show, but Trey Parker and Matt Stone had the last laugh: "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 now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu." I knew very little about Scientology until a recent Rolling Stone article filled me in on the details. Hillary works about a block away from their SF headquarters, and each day they make their best efforts to convince her she needs to join them inside for a video about dianetics. She has, so far, resisted the temptation.

Trust Trey and Matt to always see the humour potential in every situation. I love those guys!
Hillary - don't go in the closet!
Crazy Tom looks so hot in that picture. I wondered what Hayes would do- are the $ceinos going to give him something to replace his best acting gig in 25 years? There is some quite disturbing stuff about scientology on the net, especially the effect on non celebrities who give their life savings over.
creepy, weird and disturbing.
They are such a nuisance, I hate it. It seems like EVERY damn day they try and give me a flyer. It is not only annoying, it contributes to a lot of litter in the neighborhood.
One even blocked me in the crosswalk in the middle of the street. I was so mad. It's raining today so we'll see if they are out today. I'll keep you all posted.
I've never encountered anyone who admits to being a Scientologist, but my hubby says they are everywhere around the area where he works. They constantly stop him on the street and ask if he would like to take a survey. I'm surprised they would stop him because he is kind of big, surly, and mean-looking. But only mean-"looking", not actually mean. He's a big teddy bear.
KC - maybe mean-looking men are who they are targeting ... or, because scientologists can read minds, they saw that he was really a big teddy bear.
Sorry Hillary, hope they get the message one of these days.
