By now you've enjoyed the "Trapped in the Closet" episode of South Park that I, "John Smith," consulted on. If you missed it, catch a rerun; it's must-see TV. South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have done to Scientology what the cult has been trying to do to "critics" for years: shudder them into silence.
How can the cult possibly respond to the fact that their high-priced, cartoonish OT-III "trade secret" has been exposed in, well, a cartoon geared to the same demographic they target? They can't. They must sit and stew on their own toxic slough. However, a legal writer does ask the question --"Could Tom Cruise Sue 'South Park' For Suggesting He is Gay? And Even If He Could, Should He?" So far, the only backlash for South Park has reportedly been coming from their Scientologist "Chef" character, Isaac Hayes. Should Hayes quit the show in protest, they can always replace him with, say, Lou Rawls, and no one will know the difference.
