Trey & Matt Strike Back

I was out sick from work today, and had been feeling under the weather since Monday night. This has been the reason for my lapse in posts. Tonight's post will be brief as I will be headed to bed early tonight, because I definitely can't afford to miss any more work, as I have too much to do as it is.

Just wanted to drop a line about the new episode of Southpark which I just caught. It was a battle cry by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. They go well beyond how they mocked Scientology in the Viacom banned episode, and basically say Isaac Hayes was brainwashed. Anyone who knows anything about the fruity scientology club (Parker & Stone's description) and hasn't become a member of their cult can likely attest that this is exactly what they do. Tom Cruise, perhaps always a bit arrogant, is currently down right nuts. The tabloids have been running their mouths about how Katie Holmes has abandoned her friend and family since getting involved. This nutty religion has been rumored to have impressive power and deep pockets. Additionally, it is said it is an organization to be feared, as certain people associated with them have been reported to suffer untimely demises.

I personally predict that the $$ power of South Park will out do that of Mission Impossible III or Scientology's tendrils in the entertainment industry. Comedy Central definitely appeared willing to take that gamble. The only risk is that this episode is so foul, and will attract such a media storm, that they could be pressured by an increasingly fundamentalist populous to reprimand or cancel the show (however if that is the case Comedy Central's whole lineup could be up for some hurt, unless the people keep their ignoramus blinders on.... odds are they might).
I think if this is done right, Parker & Stone may have dug Cruise his own grave, which he may willingly (although unwittingly) climb into. Thank you soo much, this is even better than creating Cartman. In fact its almost, dare I say biblical? Do I see the roots of a new cult? :D

Anyway... this will be news likely as you read this.

Good Night, have a pleasant Thursday.
