Tom Cruise vs South Park

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.

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."

.......................
Well I am glad that I did get to see the episode here in the States before it will be pulled, I have a feeling there is a lawsuit preventing Comedy Central from airing it again. They just didn't poke fun at Tom Cruise, they also hit John Travolta, R Kelly and the whole Scientology cult and their beliefs. Was it over the top, yeah a bit but it was funny and nothing was said that hasn't been printed before.
