In a fabulous twist of fate and a clear "fuck you" to Scientology, the Emmy academy has chosen to nominate South Park's "Trapped in the Closet" episode...
Thursday's Emmy Awards nominations may have taken a swipe at Tom Cruise with the now infamous South Park... episode that has sparked so much controversy....The Nov. 16, 2005 episode of the hit Comedy Central show...featured Stan being hailed as a savior by a 'Scientology' group....In the episode, Stan finally reveals that he is actually not the reincarnation of L. Ron Hubbard, and that "Scientology is just a big fat global scam." His followers grow angry, and threaten to sue him. [national ledger]
I guess this finally means that Scientology's supposed control of Hollywood was friggin' bogus. If the Emmy nominating committee was bold enough to make this statement, then it just might be that Scientology is on the decline. At the very least, it's painfully obvious that the entire "religion" is a scam and a joke.
I can't think of a sweeter revenge than if Matt and Trey were to win this award. Imagine the acceptance speech. Play it safe and DVR the Emmys on 8.27. ;)

I would totally support this if I didn't think the "good christians" and other such exclusive groups are behind the nomination only to poke fun at other belief systems.

How ironic. As much as I liked the jabs against Scientology, the actual eppy was sort of hard to watch and pretty out there!
I think the one that was pretty out there was the one they did with Chef after he left. I think it's the original Scientology episode, which was a really good one, that's up for the award.
