Did Tom Cruise Get South Park Censored?
Filed under: Animation », Comedy », RumorMonger », Celebrities and Controversy », Tom Cruise », Politics »
Hollywood, Interrupted reports that sources inside Paramount and
South Park studios say the scheduled repeat of one of my fave South Park episodes, "Trapped in the
Closet" - the one that satirizes Scientology and has R. Kelly singing to Tom Cruise to "come
out of the closet" - was pulled due to Cruise threatening
parent company Viacom. Cruise reportedly threatened to pull advertising for his upcoming film, Mission: Impossible: 3 if the South Park episode was
aired.
In their long history with Comedy Central, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have never been censored, not even for their infamous "Bloody Mary episode", but Cruise throws his weight around and suddenly the boys have their mouths duct-taped? Following the news that Scientologist Isaac Hayes, who voiced The Chef on the show, quit because he was offended by the Scientology spoof, this story, if it proves to be true, doesn't really serve to make Hollywood Scientologists look like good sports, eh?
