Everybody lies

As always I am a bit late to the party, but I just watched the infamous Tom Cruise video for the first time after I found a hilarious spoof of it on Pajiba (who would’ve thought Jerry O’Connell could be so funny and so creepy at the same time?).

And while I laughed my ass off about Cruise’s demented ramblings like everybody else on this earth, I couldn’t keep from asking myself: is this guy for real? Is this video for real? Does Scientology really hope any thinking person would join them because of that footage of a maniac rambling on about god knows what in the most incoherent fashion I have seen in public in a long while? Granted, people who are able to think for themselves generally don’t join Scientology anyway, but even so it seems like they should rather be ashamed of this guy than use him as a figurehead for their movement or however they call it.

Ok, from an outsider’s perspective they seem to be pretty crazy, what with all their rules and the things they apparently believe in (then again, not much crazier than the official churches or any other sect from what I can see), but good marketing is something completely different.

And Cruise doesn’t even have the excuse to say he was drunk, or stoned, or whatever. Because this is by far not the first time we have seen him behave like that. This guy seriously has some screws loose.

Why is he allowed to live while a sweet guy like Heath dies, that’s what I would like to know. Talk about the world being unfair…
