Tom Cruise Has South Park Show Censored

HOLLYWOOD - Tom Cruise has reportedly stopped an episode of South Park that mocks him from being aired in Britain.
The show, in which Nicole Kidman and Cruise's fellow Scientologist John Travolta are depicted attempting to coax an animated version of the actor out of a closet, caused controversy when broadcast in the U.S.

The cartoon Kidman tells Cruise, "Don't you think this has gone on long enough? It's time for you to come out of the closet. You're not fooling anyone"—referring to allegations about Cruise's sexuality.

2. I'll sue you. I'll sue you in England!
You know what's worse than being allegedly slandered on a cartoon of dubious sensitivity?

Proving the cartoon right.

5. Apparently Tom could win in England--they don't have the protections
we have for free speech or satire!

But you're right--the show proved him a litigious twat!

4. Rememeber in the show when they talked about what Scientologists
believe in and they flashed on the screen "This really is what Scientologists believe!"--was that true? Sort of heard it is.

Be afraid, be very afraid!

7. Oh no! Tom Crusie--the dick that keeps on giving!
Especially if you're another man!

You know, I'd never heard rumors about R Kelly before, but apparently they're out there, because the show also implied he was in the closet.

9. Yeah, I'd heard about the pedophilia, but in this SP episode,
they have Tom Cruise in the closet, and then John Travolta tries to get him out, and ends up in the closet as well (no surprise there) and then the same thing happens to R KElly!

13. That was just a reference to his "Hip Hopera"
(or however he spells it). He has a scene where he hides in a closet with a gun and sings exactly the same lines he sings on South Park.
