Hail Xenu

It looks as though Viacom has caved to yet another "religious" interest in deciding not to air a scheduled repeat of South Park episode 192, "Trapped in the Closet" after Tom Cruise reportedly threatened to cancel publicity for Mission Impossible: 3. Frankly, I think Cruise's time might better be spent kicking ass over the impossibly dull trailer* for his next vehicle than working so hard to give South Park free publicity. Andrew Sullivan thoughtfully posts Matt Stone and Trey Parker's official reply.

"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!!!

- Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu."

*Small sidebar here: Cruise's Mission Impossible wife asks him if there is something he is not telling her. I expect it would be unkind of me to point out how many times he has heard those very words.
