"Umm, I am not in the closet."

South Park has declared war on Scientology.
Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of the animated satire, are digging in against the celebrity-endorsed religion after a controversial episode mocking outspoken Scientologist Tom Cruise was yanked abruptly from the schedule Wednesday — with Internet rumours it was covert warfare by Cruise that led to its departure.
“So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun!” the South Park creators said in a statement Friday in Daily Variety. “Temporarily anozinizing (sic) our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies... You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail!”
Internet bloggers accused Cruise of threatening to not promote “Mission Impossible 3,” a surefire summer blockbuster, if the offending episode ran. Comedy Central is owned by Viacom, as is Paramount, which is putting out “MI:3.”
But Cruise's representative, Arnold Robinson, said that the mega-star made no such demands.
“Not true,” Robinson said. “I can tell you that he never said that.”

"Umm, I am not in the closet."
One of the best espisodes they've ever done.
"Yes you are."
While we have real fanatics murdering people over cartoons we're expected to take these guys seriously? Give me a break.
“Not true,” Robinson said. “I can tell you that he never said that.”
"I can tell you that because I am a Hollywood PR representative, and I have no problem whatsoever lying through my teeth. Actually, it's my job," said Arnold Robinson...
lol, and he apparently wants to name his baby, assuming it is his, Hubbard. Do you suppose he thinks it's L Ron reincarnated?
"Tom dear! Come out of the closet."
Trust me on this one, every scientology family that had an addition since is convinced their new little daring is or at least could be Ron.
"Tom you're not fooling anyone."
They can find another voice, fuhget him.
We must never forget Captain Chaos! This could get ugly.
The only people who take Scientology seriously are its members and a few Hollyweirdos. The South Park boys are going to give them an ass-whuppin'. This means war!
You just caused me to spit on my keyboard. You owe me.
Thank heavens for internet anonymity, hmm? They'd love to get their hands on you for saying that I am sure! Glad you made it out - that's a creepy bunch.
And soooo much more.
