1. Why Would Comedy Central Pull This?
I can understand the "Bloody Mary" episode. It was IMO kinda icky and I'm no Christian, but I am a woman -

This episode was pretty dang funny. It's not as if Scientology is main-stream and why does Tom Cruise have this kind of power to have a episode pulled?

3. what I heard on tv: Tom Cruise said, if it aired again, he would refuse
to promote MI 3.

The companies that own Comedy Central and Parmount are related somehow.

7. Ummmmm.......
thats got to be bullshit. I'm sure the makers of MI 3 could promote the movie without dumbshit anyway. They also know that every time dumbshit opens his mouth no matter what he says it makes them more money. Besides, who the hell is going to see that piece of shit anyway?
I still think it was pulled because the loonytologists have lots of cash and an army of lawyers.

9. "The million-year war for earth has begun!"
Too funny!

http://65.58.242.81/southpark_scientology.php
<snip>
Blog reports pegged the mysterious episode switch to objections raised by Cruise, who, the reports stated, threatened to not promote "Mission: Impossible 3," the summer tentpole for ViacomViacom-owned Paramount.

A spokesman for Cruise denied that Cruise had ever made such a threat. "He never said any such thing about 'Mission: Impossible 3," the spokesman said.

While the "South Park" creators didn't directly comment on Comedy Central's decision to pull the episode, they issued an unusual statement to Daily Variety indicating the battle is not over.

"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!" The duo signed the statement "Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu."

17. As A Christian, I found the bloody mary episode offending, so I
changed the channel.

I suggest others who find certain programming offensive do likewise.

18. You did exactly what intelligent people do.
If they find something offensive they change the channel.
