South Park rips Scientology a new one!

[elfs]

Oh, my gods. I just sat down and watched the South Park episode Trapped In The Closet. The Tom Cruise bit was only so-so funny, but the This Is What Scientologists Actually Believe schtick had me rolling with laughter. I couldn't believe they actually did it: told the world the truth. The Scientologist's subversive persons committee must have been screaming in agony to have their beliefs turned into a cartoon with lousier animation than All Your Base. If you haven't seen it, you must! Two thumbs up!

Oh yes - I watched it a few days ago and I was howling. I actually found the Tom Cruise bit funny, but the Scientology bit was a riot.

I don't even watch TV, and I made it a point to see it. Well worth it.

You're right, that rocked. Especially the closing credits. :-)

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapped_in_the_Closet_%28South_Park%29):

"The character of Chef was absent in the episode, perhaps because Isaac Hayes, the voice actor of that character, is a Scientologist."
