A four-year-old video of Tom Cruise talking about Scientology is making the rounds in the blogosphere. It's just in time for a new unauthorized biography by Andrew Morton, alleging, amongst other things, that his baby Suri was impregnated conceived a la Rosemary's Baby with the preserved semen of the deceased Scientology founder and sci-fi author L. Ron Hubbard.
But back to the video: In it, Tom talks about how he wants to spread the message of Scientology.
He said this about being a Scientologist: "It's rough and tumble and it's wild and woolly and it's a blast. It's a blast. It really is fun because there is nothing better than going out there and fighting the fight and suddenly you see things are better."
And please note the purty, shiny logo of the Church of Scientology.
Update 1/17/07: Predictably, the video was taken off YouTube. Head ye on to Gawker, who I just found out - goes to show you how I live under a rock - started this whole thing anyhow.Links:

You people ought to wonder why your so opinionated about something you know nothing about.
How can someone be so ignorant? Are you all just puppets of the media?
I have a little knowledge of Scientology from having a former boss who was involved in it. She left her job to work in the local Scientology office. Scientology is a life-destroying, mind-controlling cult.
You don't have to know Tom Cruise first-hand to pass an opinion on the rubbish he's spewing here. You don't have to be a Scientologist to know about its wishy-washy hocus-pocus "science". Or is it a "religion"?
From e-meters that essentially do nothing to space stories about Xenu and body Thetans, it's all hogwash, designed to make money off of lonely, gullible people.
But wait! Could Tom Cruise be the Kwisatz Haderach?
Beyond the lunacy of Tom Cruise's rambling thoughts is the ultimate fact that this CULT was created by a science fiction writer. What else do you need to know?
Oh, how about this. You don't get to learn the creation myth of Scientology until you have given the organization enough...MONEY! Tom Cruise himself was not told until, reportedly, he'd given the cult over $4 million. I've read the creation myth of Scientology (didn't cost me a penny) and it's filled with Zorlocks and Xycoms and Prolandias and such (all word made up by me, but you get the spacey-ass, scienceFICTIONtology drift I'm bringin'.)
Come on people, pull your heads out...Scientology has its place: in the mind of any certifiable looney.

I wonder if Emergency Personnel would beg to differ.
That loop of mission impossible really distracted me.
I will believe whole heartedl, the moment he levetates something with his OT7 mind.

What? You thought it was a stupid story?
Well, 150 years ago, they called Mormonism a cult, too. Secret revelations, nutty leader, secrets levels, etc. But once they got enough money and power, they became a religion!
So just think of Tom Cruise as Brigham Young.
(Hey, Tom, what have you done to Suri?? What have you done to her eyes, you maniacs!)
…and the one on parsons has some fun facts on Hubbard too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Parsons

Tom Cruise is a freak. Can't say that about just anyone, you know?
youtube.
This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Church of Scientology International.

If the media didn't like him, he wouldn't be acting anymore. If anything the media is embracing his new life and won't shut up about him.
How do you know we know nothing about it? News flash, there are books out there about Scientology, published by the founder of Scientology explaining what it is. Are you in junior high or something? Maybe it's YOU who needs to read up on Scientology instead of defending some actor with a bad haircut who does movies that are one hit wonders and will never become classics.
A friend of mine lived with a room mate who is a Scientologist. He has all his stuff packed up in boxes; the guy disappeared. Not even his family knows where he is. The world has to wake up and ban this religion before it gets out of hand. I believe Germany has banned Scientology.
