Church to Gawker: It May Be Crazy, But It's Ours!

The Church of Scientology is doing what it does best -- and we don't mean rant against psychiatry.
Tom Cruise
Lawyers from the house that L. Ron built have sent a copyright infringement letter to the Suppressive Persons at Gawker Media to get them to remove their copy of the crazy Tom Cruise video making the rounds. All the letters in the world won't make it seem any less crazazy!

Gawker Media, which runs the Gawker and Defamer websites, posted the letter they received from a law firm representing the Church. In the letter, they allege the tape was "stolen from one its Churches." It probably just got scared and ran!

For their part, Gawker says they did nothing wrong -- and as of this posting, they have not taken down the video.

TMZ posted a few excerpts from it today. We'll keep checking the mailbox for our letter.

35. KSW = Keeping Scientology Working (a series of Scientology books that you read as you work your way up the pyramid -- OY!)

Funny that even in the video, there is still no definitive description of what Scientology actually IS?

39. Everyone read xenu.net.

Then paste and forward to your friends and relatives.

Expose the cult!

Also, google scientology, judgment, and litigation. Interesting reading.

40. Tom Cruise is an uneducated, brainwashed, talentless tool. Partly thanks to scientology. Look at Katie Holmes from when she first met this couch jumping, babbling ididot. She is turning into a brainwashed robot also. Scientology is a cult- pure and simple. They want this crap pulled because anyone with half a brain will figure out that anything they stand for/believe in is a load of crap.

41. Who are all these people that are waiting for the Scientologists to help them? And why isn't the world a much more peaceful and healthy place if they know so much about how to help?

Very scary stuff. Poor Katie and Suri.

44. Not any one of you who are here demeaning Tom Cruise and making fun of his height will EVER be as successful as he is. Most assuradly, not anyone at TMZ will ever achieve anything close to Tom's success.

You're all being led around like sheep. You're being told Tom is crazy on this tape and that's what you're seeing because that's what you want to see. I've watched the tape. He's certainly not acting crazy. He's enthusiastic about what he believes. I don't pretend to understand the appeal of Scientology. It just seems silly to me. But if that's what he believes, that's his business.

I like Tom Cruize movies and I will continue to see them. I don't have to agree with his politics or religion to like him on screen.

It's almost laughable how easily you are all being lead around.
