NEW YORK – “South Park” has declared war on Scientology. Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of the animated satire, are digging in against the celebrity-endorsed religion after a controversial episode mocking outspoken Scientologist

Tom Cruise was yanked abruptly from the schedule Wednesday — with Internet rumors it was covert warfare by Cruise that led to its departure.”So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun!” the “South Park” creators said in a statement Friday in Daily Variety. “Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies… You have obsructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail!”

Internet bloggers accused Cruise of threatening to not promote “Mission Impossible 3,” a surefire summer blockbuster, if the offending episode ran. Comedy Central is owned by Viacom, as is Paramount, which is putting out “MI:3.”

This could be fun. Stay tuned.

    This is the kind of thing that makes me think that with a couple of bucks and fancy packaging I can sell anything.

    People want to believe.

    Scientology is one of the worst and most destructive scams in history. It was started by a science fiction writer literally on a bet (he bet his friends he could make up a fake religion that people would really fall for), and has since mushroomed into a massive swindle that has taken in many thousands of naive and gullible people.
