Recent reports have stated that Tom Cruise supposedly forced Comedy Central to cancel the repeat of the hilarious episode of South Park called "Trapped in the Closet." It was said that Cruise threatened to boycott his publicity events for the upcoming Mission: Impossible III if the episode, which makes fun of Scientology, wasn't pulled.
It has been alleged that Cruise pressured the execs at Paramount Pictures, which is owned by Viacom, the same company who owns Comedy Central. The episode was a hit when it first aired in November. It poked fun at both the actor and his religion. But, event though it was supposed to rerun last Wednesday, it was found to be pulled at the last minute.
Despite the reports, a spokesman for Cruise denies that the actor threatened any execs, stating, "He never said any such thing about Mission Impossible III."
Trey Parker and Matt Stone, South Park's creators, have hit back at the allegations. The duo issued a statement to Daily Variety that said, "So, Scientology, you may have won this battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will not stop us form keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies."
"Curses and drat! You have obstructed us now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu." They then signed the statement, "Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants to the dark lord Xenu."
