Motorists stuck on Mercer Street this summer have been treated to an odd overhead sight as they crawl under Aurora Avenue toward I-5. Wielding banners and signs, a small band of protesters has appeared on certain evenings, waving at drivers below and encouraging them to honk if they hate Xenu.

And now, following a notorious Tom Cruise video released earlier this year and a certain prior South Park episode, Scientology finds itself the target of a new generation of activists who have declared this coming Saturday, August 16, to be their next worldwide Scientology protest day

What's even funnier is that they kept spoofing the whole incident after Cruise and company threatened to sue everybody for pointing out that they believe that we are hosting the souls of aliens.

I loved Super Adventure Group (or whatever the name they used to spoof L. Ron Hubbard) episode with chef.

...and XENU spelled backwards is UNEX. (Not quite UNIX, but it'll do.)

Cheers!
