science fictionreligious leader EVERNihaody on January 17, 2008 at 8:47 PM
Gosh, he truly is serving all of humanity…just watching 3:10 of that speach (or communication, as you may wish to call it) made me feel much better about myself. Because he cares so very very very very very very very MUCH! What a trooper!
AUINSC on January 17, 2008 at 8:48 PM
Where does Rod Serling come into this clip?
He does come out and clear this up?
Yeesh…
SteveMG on January 17, 2008 at 8:48 PM
Freaky-Deaky.
Are the Scientoligists really that sue-happy about these Tom Cruise vids, that they’re posted on YouTube et al under misleading tags?
JetBoy on January 17, 2008 at 8:51 PM
I was waiting for the camera to pan and suddenly find an audience of reptiles clapping.
Has any one seen the Ronald Dahl movie adaption of The Witches?
Topsecretk9 on January 17, 2008 at 8:51 PM
How crazy was LRH?
This crazy.
Slublog on January 17, 2008 at 8:51 PM
He just saluted a —ing PAINTING, and spoke about a dead guy in the present. Do you realize how creepy/crazy/beyond words this is?
On the plus side, I heard the Green Party was looking for a candidate…

If this is Huck’s new ad, I think he needs to trim it down a bit.
That Tom Cruise used to seem so normal. /neighbor
Spirit of 1776 on January 17, 2008 at 8:54 PM
People can believe whatever they want to….me, I choose to believe these folks are a bunch of loons!

Major Tom calling Space Cadet one,
get me the Hell outta here.Haha
canopfor on January 17, 2008 at 8:58 PM
Tommy should be kidnapped by his parents and given to deprogrammers. As it is, he’s very dangerous.
I feel horrible for his wife and their young daughter.
Gartrip on January 17, 2008 at 8:58 PM
I thought it was a award show for vampires.
Kini on January 17, 2008 at 8:58 PM
I’m sure Brooke Shields and Matt Laur would have liked to have seen some of that tollerance and compassion of which he spoke. Apparently the other guy has it all.

In 40 years the members of Rev. Gore’s Church of Gaia will be doing the same kinds of things.

Scientologists believe Hubbard isn’t actually dead but has deliberately discarded his body to do “higher level spiritual research,” unencumbered by mortal confines, and was now living “on a planet a galaxy away” and will return someday. In the larger buildings they build, they furnish an office for him and keep it locked up and undisturbed until the day he returns.
bnelson44 on January 17, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Interesting that both Bill O’Reilly and Tom Cruise blame SPs for our ills.
SECOND LOOK AT O’REILLY!

If so, the painting will have to be wider. Ahem.

“Hey, dad…Tom Cruise won’t come out of the closet!”
JetBoy on January 17, 2008 at 9:06 PM
He should have married Rosie. What a dork
Has he ever starred in a movie worth watching ? ?
Texyank on January 17, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Only one that I can think of Legend.
Kini on January 17, 2008 at 9:10 PM
Scientologists believe Hubbard isn’t actually dead but has deliberately discarded his body to do “higher level spiritual research,” unencumbered by mortal confines, and
Y’know, some people argue that there is an innate or genetic coding in people to believe in religion. Only these genes or coding don’t always manifest in a belief in a deity or in theism.
It manifests itself in different beliefs, in various secular, if you will, ways.
Whittaker Chambers argued that men want bread but also something greater than themselves to bow down to or worship.
Scientology is one of those manifestations of a desire to believe in something larger than this world. Than this existence.
SteveMG on January 17, 2008 at 9:10 PM
Ehh, I liked him better in “Top Gun,” but that “L.R.H.” — that looks like a pretty good movie, too.
Rational Thought on January 17, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Looks like he belongs to some wacky cult or something. Oh wait…
Tony737 on January 17, 2008 at 9:11 PM
I can’t for the life of me work out why aliens would arrive here on earth in DC-8′s?? Don’t they have flying saucers or something? I can accept blimps to a degree (no offence Paulbots) loll.. but DC-8′s???
Looks like TC is shape-shifting for a run at the office in the future, can he be the Huckabee of Scientology perhaps?
ousia on January 17, 2008 at 9:12 PM
A reference like that doesn’t require a Wikipedia link.
malan89 on January 17, 2008 at 9:12 PM

William Amos on January 17, 2008 at 9:13 PM
Cult of no personality.
SouthernGent on January 17, 2008 at 9:15 PM
Did you say the words exactly?
steveegg on January 17, 2008 at 9:20 PM
Bart: “Your religion is just a cult!”
Lisa: “That’s scientology!”
Bart: “It’s just a Hollywood fad!”
Lisa: “That’s Kabahla, jerk!”
Bart: “Well, how did you put a spell on me?”
Lisa: “Wicca! And it’s empowering!”
At least that’s how I think it goes.
Marcus on January 17, 2008 at 9:21 PM

I thought they were remaking Dune.
fogw on January 17, 2008 at 9:28 PM
Sounds like Daniel Jackson on Stargate-SG1.
Ah well. We Mormons have Battlestar Galactica to sci-fi up our doctrine. Guess it’s only fair.
sulla on January 17, 2008 at 9:33 PM
Oh great now I have a picture of Mitt as Commander Adama

William Amos on January 17, 2008 at 9:35 PM
O’Reilly tonight said Scientology is harmless.
He’s so wrong.
Nessuno on January 17, 2008 at 9:36 PM
You realize that if you watch the posters other vids – after a little bit they become all kinds of crazy internal Scientology videos (like recruiting videos or something) — they need to buffer but don’t let the puppies and stuff fool you.
Sleepy puppies turns into internal video.
Topsecretk9 on January 17, 2008 at 9:39 PM
I wonder if stuff like this makes Kim Jong Il jealous…
Knuckledragger on January 17, 2008 at 9:41 PM
atually — Topsecretk9 on January 17, 2008 at 9:39 PM
never mind that. I thought that is what happened, turns out I had 2 tabs running videos. Sorry.
would have been cool though.
Topsecretk9 on January 17, 2008 at 9:42 PM
Worst. Gong Show. Outtake. Evah.
Jack M. on January 17, 2008 at 9:42 PM
That episode of Southpark saved me from taking the ‘stress test’. Me and a buddy were walking through Burbank and this hot chick comes up and says “Hey guys, wanna take a stress test?” I look over and see the little stress test machines. my buddy’s like “Duh, ok.” (He’ll ssay that to ANY hot chick) so I grab his arm and said “Let’s get outta here man, this chick’s a Scientologist.” We walked away and he said “How do ya know that?” I said “Well … actually, I saw it on Southpark.”
Tony737 on January 17, 2008 at 9:44 PM
Probably doesn’t want to insult Greta.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how big scientology is? Members-wise?
Spirit of 1776 on January 17, 2008 at 9:47 PM
It’s a cash-sucking, life-ruining cult. I used to think they were funny, but the more I learned about them, the more I realized how evil the whole thing is. And I use that word advisedly: Scientology is evil.
Jim Treacher on January 17, 2008 at 9:55 PM
Yeah, that’s where I learned about the details of Scientology too…SP. Didn’t Comedy Central pull the re-runs of that episode for a while? That “church” must have one heck of a legal department…veeery persuasive.
JetBoy on January 17, 2008 at 10:02 PM
I thought Cruise was going to reach over and kiss that guy. Probably did that later.
brak on January 17, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Y’all should visit Clearwater, Florida sometime. The Scientologists literally own the town, lock stock and barrel.
And they don’t make life easy on the “SP’s”.
All you ever wanted to know about it & more:

Jack M. on January 17, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Because he just wants to “help”… they all do.

Anyone else foresee a political career in Tom’s future?
Ugly on January 17, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Depends. Which planet?
Jim Treacher on January 17, 2008 at 10:18 PM

Jump up and down on the couch and Tom will be with you momentarily.
Dusty on January 17, 2008 at 10:22 PM
Well, according to THIS DIGG POST the interwebz guerrillas are planning to crash the Scientology servers tomorrow…don’t know what that’ll accomplish…

Lafayette Ron Hubbard:
Absolutely insane and has a huge following.
.
Muhammed:
Absolutely and criminally insane and has a huge following.

Why are so many people so easily led astray?
.
I do know the answer.
Your thoughts?

SECOND LOOK AT BODY THETANS!
Jack M. on January 17, 2008 at 10:39 PM
The same one Ron Paul hails from.
LOL
Ugly on January 17, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Nevermind about the Digg post a couple comments up…Apparently Digg pulled it.
I swear, Scientology’s influence must be greater than we know…
JetBoy on January 17, 2008 at 10:43 PM
Are the audience members in that clip the higher-ups of Scientology? They look incredibly wealthy, standing in that pseudo-church of theirs.
My church has the exact opposite attendance, consisting of mostly poor/middle class people.
Sydney Carton on January 17, 2008 at 10:43 PM
It was there when you first posted. Gone now.
Does that convince some of you Doubters?? These buggers are SERIOUS.
tickleddragon on January 17, 2008 at 10:52 PM
Were Flavor-Aid and vodka served at this event?
Mike Honcho on January 17, 2008 at 10:54 PM
Have you tried staples?
;-P
Mike Honcho on January 17, 2008 at 11:02 PM
Awesome set of links HERE about the secrets of Scientology…Dang, watching that Cruise clip really peaked my interest in this organization…and it’s amazing too how tons of links are mysteriously “not found” anymore…
tickleddragon is right…these buggers ARE serious.
JetBoy on January 17, 2008 at 11:09 PM
LOL, loved the “Puppies are cute” labels. I think I will do that. The more people put this video on YouTube, the more we’ll drive the Church of $cientology crazy trying to suppress this info.
mram on January 17, 2008 at 11:17 PM
Nice Hubcap!
spike on January 17, 2008 at 11:20 PM
Next time HA opens registration, maybe some Scientologists will sign up and proceed to argue their case. That would be interesting.
RushBaby on January 17, 2008 at 11:26 PM
A Very Special Edition of Look Who’s Crazier Than Bats! Starring Tom “I really care very, very, very much!” Cruise.
Hey, what’s the over/under on when his dolly wife seeks protection from the Feds?
Jaibones on January 17, 2008 at 11:28 PM
Augh, no! They’re worse than Ron Paul supporters. At least Ron Paul supporters are somewhat reasonable. You should see videos of $cientologists going after SPs.
mram on January 17, 2008 at 11:34 PM
Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise crazy.
Just be glad it’s him not you.
Keljeck on January 17, 2008 at 11:35 PM
Flash that big bright shiny smile, buy expensive shoes.
Jim Treacher on January 17, 2008 at 11:37 PM
I tried something similar with that first clip but it didn’t work. I think they have a way of figuring out if a banned video is going back up after a certain number of times.
Jim Treacher on January 17, 2008 at 11:39 PM
Dammit, YouTube is being extra vigilant on the behalf of the Co$. I mislabeled the video of the previous Tom Cruise video AP posted, and they still rejected it.
mram on January 17, 2008 at 11:41 PM
I’ve always loved the Mindhead segment [starts at 4:27] in Bowfinger.
The audiences here in LA got a huge laugh out of that one.
The Ugly American on January 17, 2008 at 11:46 PM
What the heck is SP? Someone needs to put up a scientology acronym dictionary.
They suck, by the way. Every single time I mention scientology on my blog, some creepazoid emails me. Not kidding. They have legions of cultists who spend their time googling scientology and keeping an eye on you.
There are two groups I am hesitant to cross: The Mafia and the scientologists.
Meryl Yourish on January 17, 2008 at 11:56 PM
Suppressed Person. Basically all of us who are not Scientologists.
Keljeck on January 18, 2008 at 12:01 AM
What about pissed off radical Muslims? I’m sure they’re on the list.
Oh, and SP stands for Suppressive Person. Someone who doesn’t want their friend or family member to join the cult.
mram on January 18, 2008 at 12:01 AM
I take it you haven’t heard Meryl’s pieces on Shire Network News. She crosses them folks all the time.
sulla on January 18, 2008 at 12:10 AM
If scientology makes him happy then power to him. I don’t THINK they plan on cutting our heads off but I could be wrong. Personally though, I think he’s a Cylon. They are trying to convert us all before the Battlestar Galactica gets here and Xenu (code for Admiral Adama) gets here and whips em.
Bladerunner1701 on January 18, 2008 at 12:34 AM
I think I just saw Western Civilization crumble a little more…
darkpixel on January 18, 2008 at 12:40 AM
It’s like he doesn’t know when he’s acting in a movie, and when he is functioning in a real life scenario. He always looks like he’s putting on a really dramatic and intense performance. He totally creeps me out anymore.
greekinfidel on January 18, 2008 at 12:40 AM
Another good satire of Scientology is Selfosophy. Darin Morgan is a genius.
Jim Treacher on January 18, 2008 at 12:41 AM
Scientology is such the perfect “religion” for actors, isn’t it? It costs a fortune, it’s basis for existance is a make-believe story befitting of a sci-fi movie script, and it requires absolute adherence to it’s principles through a psychiatric brainwashing process.
CliffHanger on January 18, 2008 at 12:50 AM
Another video… The one they don’t want you to see…
darkpixel on January 18, 2008 at 1:19 AM
Laugh, mortals. Tom can be equated to the first generation of Mormons circa 1835, or Muslims in AD 610. Any and all man made religions are screwy, except to their adherents. A few generations from now, Scientologists may be just as accepted in most societies, especially if “respecting all religions equally, considering all to be equally valid” becomes the norm.
I know Scientologists fume when someone accurately characterizes Scientology as a religion. Wah. Hit me with your mind science-give it your best shot,Tom! I mean it! You Scientologists, put up or shut u >kfhj n
Doug on January 18, 2008 at 1:22 AM
Exactly. Not to mention that their prey is already insulated from reality and has become used to blocking out the ideas and opinions of non-famous, and therefore non-important, people.
Huh? They call themselves a church, and they finagled tax-exempt status from the IRS.
Jim Treacher on January 18, 2008 at 1:37 AM
Please shoot me before that happens.
F15Mech on January 18, 2008 at 2:41 AM
Hey, here’s something for the young scientists:
Today I’m declaring that
E = 2*MC instead of E = MC^2!!!
This is a lot easier to calculate and will save many, many hours of hard work trying to figure squares and square roots!!
…and it MUST be true because I care so very, very, very much (and way more than you) about science!!!
landlines on January 18, 2008 at 2:46 AM
I know. The bought the hospital where I was born, painted it sky blue, and turned it into their World HQ.
Ugh.

thejackal on January 18, 2008 at 6:54 AM
How like the Academy Awards: A pack of overdressed, self-absorbed, ignorant, arrogant fruitcakes spewing platitudes at each other. My bet is 15 years from now Hollywood will be completely $cientologist, and any “SP” will never get an Oscar. In 20 years, no job, and like the libs in media, $cientologists will control motion pictures.
thejackal on January 18, 2008 at 7:06 AM
SP = infidel = me
redrock on January 18, 2008 at 7:24 AM
If they keep them locked and undisturbed, maybe he already returned several times, couldn’t get out because the door was locked, and had to ‘re-ascend’ each time.
