South Park In the Closet episode.

This link will allow you to see the entire Scientology/Tom Cruise spoof "In the Closet" from South Park. Be advised that it is a broadband link, so if you are using dial up, it probably will not work very well.

If you are interested in more information about just how F'ed up the Church of Scientology is, check out this website.

http://www.xenu.net/

If you check the site out, make sure you read the "Xenu Leaflet" it describes the secret beliefs of the Church of Scientology. What a great science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard was. I think that he probably is the record holder for duping more stupid people worldwide with his religion scam.

People that are dumb enough to fall for this bullshit, deserve everything that happens to them with this "Church".

I am going to work on founding my own religion, it is highly profitable!

I do also have my own funny story involving Scientologists. While I was a manager at Starbucks in downtown Cincinnati, one of our regular customers was the Manager/Director of the Cincinnati branch of Scientology. I will refer to her as Diane. Now Diane would come into my store at least two times a day for her own special made drink. She was a total pain in the ass. Her office was about 3 blocks from my store and when she came in she would always request a double tall, extra hot, add whip cream latte. The drink itself isn't by Starbucks standards a difficult drink. What made it difficult and what made her such a pain in the ass to deal with is the fact that, she would take her 180 degree drink that was topped with whipped cream and walk back to her Scientology center and if by the time she got there the whipped cream had melted, she would come back and complain, then demand that it be redone.
We attempted many times to explain to her that when you put whipped cream on top of a 180 degree liquid, with a lid on top and then take a five minute walk back to your office before opening it, the freaking whipped cream will melt. Apparently her Thetan level was not high enough for her to grasp this simple concept.

So one afternoon Diane had come in for the third time in one day to get her "Diane Special" as she liked us to call it. On this particular day we had been getting our asses kicked, there was a convention in town and we had a line out the door from 7 am until 11 am. We were two people short on the shift and no one on the shift including myself had gotten any type break at all. So needless to say everyone was a little on edge. Each time that Diane came in, she brought the drink back to be re-done. On her third return trip, she came up to the counter to complain. At first I apologized too her for the problems. I began to explain our circumstances of the day, but she wasn't interested at all. She responded, "Look, I spend enough money here that everyone that works here should know how to make my drink right. I shouldn't have to keep coming back and telling someone how to make my drink!" I then attempted to explain the basic physics of how whipped cream melts when subjected to heat. She cut me off again and said "I don't care about that!" I then paused and said "I'm sorry Diane, I will make sure that your drink is made correctly this time." I then went to the bar to make the drink myself, and as required by Starbucks, I decided to make some small talk with her while she was anxiously waiting at the bar for her drink. I looked her in the eyes and smiled, then said "So Diane, how is the cult business going?"
She nearly flipped. She yelled at me and said, "Scientology is not a cult, it is a religion!" I responded, "I'm sorry Diane, I must have heard wrong." She then asked who my district manager was, I gave her his name and she stormed out.
From that moment on she would not let me wait on her. It was sweet. I transferred out to a different store not long after that. She still comes in to that store for her "Diane Special" now Jenny gets to deal with her.

I have been thinking about printing off a bunch of the anti-Scientology literature listed on the xenu.net site and handing them out in front of her office. Who's with me?

South Park Season 10 Premiere...Chef Returns!

If you are aware of the flack created by South Parks slam on Scientology episode titled "Trapped in the Closet" you know that this was what caused Isaac Hayes to quit the show.

Last nights Season 10 premiere episode was titled "The Return of Chef", the episode will be aired again tonight (Thursday 23rd, March) at 10:00 pm. If you missed it check it out, it is Hilarious! Below is a report from E News about the episode. It does a good job of describing key points in the episode, including the excellent eulogy by Kyle at the end of the show.


"South Park" Roasts Chef, Literally Joal Ryan Mar 23, 2006, 8:15 AM PT E Entertainment News.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone have buried the hatchet with--sorry, into--Isaac Hayes.
On Wednesday's South Park 10th season premiere, Hayes' Chef character was struck by lightning, impaled, shot, mauled by a mountain lion, eaten by a grizzly bear, and, oh, yes, accused of being a child molester.

The episode was the capper to Hayes' Mar. 13 resignation. South Park chieftains Parker and Stone cranked out the inaptly named "The Return of Chef!" as an answer to the defection.
In an off-screen twist, doubt has been cast as to whether Hayes really meant to depart the animated series. FoxNews.com columnist Roger Friedman reported Monday that the 63-year-old "Shaft" soul great suffered a stroke on Jan. 17, and "is in no condition to quit anything."
"My sources say that someone quit [the show] for him," Friedman wrote.
Previous reports had Hayes hospitalized on Jan. 17 in Memphis for what was said to be exhaustion. The reputed stroke diagnosis was said to be news to Comedy Central.
In his headline-making, episode-inspiring statement, Hayes, a Scientologist, said he could no longer support a show that disrespected religion. The move was widely seen as a response to a Scientology-specific South Park episode that first aired last November. (A rerun of the show, "Trapped in the Closet," was abruptly pulled from Comedy Central's schedule last week. Tom Cruise, a Scientologist, and a "Closet" parody target, denied flexing his superstar muscle to keep the episode off the air.)
Thanks to some manipulation of old sound bites ("suck on my chocolate salty balls") and songs snippets ("make love..."), Hayes was heard in Wednesday's opener. But Parker and Stone got in the last words.

And for the record, not one of Parker and Stone's words was "Scientology."
In the completely made-up story, Chef is "brainwashed" by an organization of child molesters called the "Super Adventure Club." In order to cure Chef, Kyle, Stan, Cartman and Kenny take their friend to a psychiatrist, a frowned-upon profession among Scientologists.
In the end, Chef dies a million Kenny deaths, only to live on, sort of, as a Darth Vader version of himself.
At his funeral, Kyle urges South Park residents to remember Chef as he was, before the brainwashing. If there is to be anger, he says, don't direct it at the beloved cafeteria worker.
Rather, says Kyle, "we should be mad at the fruity little club for scrambling his brain."


Brilliant. That is how I can best describe the episode. If Scientologists weren't already pissed off enough because of the "Closet" episode, this one should throw them in a full blown tizzy!

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are now more than ever, my heroes!

Why I Love Sirius Satellite Radio

Another thing that really gets my Irish up is censorship. Goes right along with all of my anti-Christian right beliefs. That is the main reason that right now, there are very few things that I enjoy more than my Sirius Satellite Radio. I purchased one off of Ebay in November of 2005, I didn't activate it until late December. Like millions of others I originally purchased it for Howard Stern. Howard 100 and Howard 101 launched on January 9th of this year. I have not listened to terrestrial radio since that date. It is well worth the $12.95 per month that I pay for it. When I have the money I will probably go and purchase a lifetime subscription. It is that good. I cannot see myself ever going back to listening to old fashioned lame ass radio, that is filled with 20 minutes of commercials every hour and have play lists of 20 - 30 songs. I do not miss any of the old style radio. Prior to Sirius I would flip back and forth between Stern and Bob & Tom in the mornings on the way to work. I have only attempted to listen to Bob & Tom once since January, it was just the same old crap. They are so censored now they cant do anything anymore that is even slightly edgey, for fear of the mighty FCC fining the crap out of them.

The Stern show has been outstanding, they really are re-defining talk radio. I would also recomend that if you do have Sirius try listening to Bubba the Love Sponge (howard 101). His show is very good. He reminds me of a younger, edgier more redneck version of Stern. He has a good group of induviduals on his show. One of the funniest characters on his show is Ned. He is a old redneck, vile coot, who by the way puts together some of the funniest phony phone calls and song parodies that I have ever heard. The only negative thing that I will say about his show is that he does slip into Nascar talk a little too much for my taste. When he gets started on Nascar I will typically switch to Raw Dog (channel 104) in the afternoon and listen to Jim Breuer's show. It is typically very funny also. He has comics and heavy metal gods on there all the time. Last week on the way home I was listening to his show and they were doing Heavy Metal Karaoke, it was fricking awesome. He had the drummer from Twisted Sister and a guitarist from Anthrax along with some of his buddies and people would come in a sing their favorite metal tunes with the live band playing them. Artie Lang came in and did a couple of AC/DC tunes and one of the chicks from Buzzsaw (channel 19) came in and did Motorhead's Ace of Spades. Good stuff.

My favorite channels are;
Howard 100 & 101 ~Stern Show & Bubba
Raw Dog 104 ~ Comedy Clips, Breuer Unleashed, Wiseguys show
Octane 20 ~ New Rock
Buzzsaw 19 ~ Classic Metal and Rock
Hair Nation 23 ~ Hair Band Rock

Well that is enough advertising for Sirius. Seacrest out!

Why St. Patrick is a Bastard!

For those that don't know, I am vehemently anti-Christian. To be more specific, I really hate all forms or organized religion. I feel that the only true evil in the world is organized religion. All of the greatest wars and massacres that have ever happened throughout history happened because of religion. In my opinion the two types of religion that are the worst about forcing their beliefs on others is Catholicism and Muslim. Although the Muslim religion has been getting the majority of the negative press lately, many more people have been killed by Catholics than Muslims throughout history. Anyway back to my topic. Why St. Patrick is a Bastard! Most likely you might have heard the story about how St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland. Well the thing is, there never were snakes in Ireland, it is a cold wet climate island. What the story is actually referring to is that St. Patrick drove the Druids out of Ireland. The Catholic church made it illegal for anyone in ancient Ireland to pratice their native religion, which was a form of Druid/Wiccan belief in a Earth Mother Goddess, and the male God the Green Man or Man of the Woods (also sometimes depicted as the Horned God, because he had Elk like antlers) St. Patrick burned every written text of original Celtic traditional religion. They then also used likenesses of the horned god and made him the Devil. Of course the Catholic church also would not stand for anyone worshipping a female god, and made out anyone that did to be a heretic, that would be burned at the stake. Catholocism adopted nearly all of the holidays of the ancient Celts into their own holidays, they just re-named them. That is what they did to get the Celts to adopt the new religion, well that and burning and killing them. So that is why I do not celebrate St. Patricks day. He is a destroyer of history and a murderer of innocent and peaceful people.

Chris Henry continues to soil my name!

My first post on here was about my surprise when I heard that the Bengals drafted Chris Henry. Since his drafting he has continued to screw up and soil my name. First he gets busted driving without a license or insurance, and he had pot on him. Then just a few weeks later he gets arrested in Miami for pulling a gun and threatening some people on the street. Of course the gun was not registered, and even better he was wearing his Bengals jersey. What a fuck up! Maybe someone should let him sit down and talk to the former Miami Dolphins running back the "Cecil the Deisel" who is in jail for doing stupid shit and will lose the best time of his life locked up. Maybe that will drive the point home. I think that Henry has to be on his last chance with the NFL, one more stupid mistake and the Bengals will cut him, and he will be lucky if anyone picks him up. THat is if he doesn't end up in jail.

Funny side note to his first arrest. At the firm that I work there are two receptionists, one of them picked up the paper and read the headline in the sports page that talked about Henry being busted. She reads it and says to the other "I can't believe that Chris Henry, he gets pulled over, doesn't have a license or insurance and has marijuana on him. What an idiot!" The other says "what when did this happen?! I didn't hear anything about it? Is IKON going to fire him? The first receptionist then says "No Chris Henry from the Bengals!" Not ours! Guess which one was blonde?
