Tom Cruise: Saving the World

From the oppressive DC-8 piloting forces of Xenu the evil, ancient space emperor who is the cause of all of the world’s problems. Gawker has the full scoop.

Other than being a completely hilarious belief system, Scientology—the made-up religion of pulp writer/hack L. Ron Hubbard—is dangerously litigious and secretive organization. Known for creating “dead agent packs” to intimidate and silence their critics. The video of Cruise linked above is a fairly frightening window into the mindset of the organization through one of its most fervent supporters.

    I never knew that scientology was a privilege. I love the off-kilter Mission Impossible background music, really makes him seem crazier.

    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, damnit, there’s nothing better than going out there and fighting the fight and suddenly you see, (phlew, explosion onomatopoeia), thing’s are better….

    I think about those people out there who are depending on us … we got more work, but I need more help … get those spectators either in the playing field or out of the arena. (weird laugh.) That’s how I , really, that’s how I feel about it … I do what I can and I do it the way I do everything.”

    Followed by more evil laughing. Spooky.
