Mole 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2006 From IMDB 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 US. 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. According to TheRegister.co.uk, Paramount has agreed not to show the episode again, after Cruise complained. A source tells the site, "Tom is famously very litigious and will go to great lengths to protect his reputation. Tom was said not to like the episode and Paramount just didn't dare risk showing it again. It's a shame that UK audiences will never see it because it's very funny." Wow, Paramount is such a pussy.

Special K 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2006 I thought the R Kelly stuff was funny in the episode. Then I saw all 12 episodes of 'Trapped in the Closet'. That's something that even Matt and Trey can't outdo. Absolutely hilarious, and you can't really parody it, since it's already such a self-parody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Si82 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2006 I suppose I would care more if I still watched "South Park" but this is still fucking stupid. What power does Tom Cruise have over Paramount showing an episode of an animated comedy over here in the UK anyway? What a fucking dick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
