Tom Cruise Is Crazy

The Daily takes an exclusive look inside “Scientology High,” a $42K-a-year hilltop school with unorthodox teaching methods. Ben Carlson reports:

Founded in the 1970s by Scientologists, Delphian has remained largely a mystery for decades. But with the unraveling of the church’s public face, alumni of the school have begun to speak out.
For this exclusive two-part series, The Daily extensively interviewed numerous former students, obtaining a more detailed behind-the-scenes picture of life at the school than has ever before been reported.
The former students said their education at Delphian included a dizzying array of jargon, unorthodox notions of academic learning and an intensive and complex disciplinary system based partly on peer monitoring. Some spoke of feeling lost after leaving Delphian and attempting to adjust to the world outside Scientology. The Daily also found that a steady stream of Delphian grads have gone on to join the Sea Org, a Church of Scientology religious order that some former participants have equated with human slavery.

Last night I had a dream about Tom Cruise

In the dream he had a garage full of vending machines, because he couldn’t go out for snacks for fear of being mobbed. He really didn’t have many just normal friends. His wife wanted him to live his life not so cloistered.

I don’t know if any of that is true. But the dream gave me a sense of compassion towards the guy.

This blog is over as of today.

Dear Tom, you might consider leaving Scientology, because it’s messed up.

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone on “Trapped in the Closet,” the episode where Stan Marsh joins the Church of Scientology:

“They said ‘We’re going to pull that out of rotation. We’re going to pull that episode.’ And we were like ‘Why?’ And they said ‘Because certain producers on Mission: Impossible III would rather not have it on the air,’ ” says Stone.

“We’re pretty sure [it was Tom Cruise’s people] who asked for the episode to be pulled,” says Parker.

Chimes in Stone: “We can’t legally say that, but we’re pretty sure it was.”

Fantastic on many levels. Including the level that Fresh Air has a Tumblr. Going to listen to the latest episode now.
