A four-year-old video of Tom Cruise talking about Scientology is making the rounds in the blogosphere. It's just in time for a new unauthorized biography by Andrew Morton, alleging, amongst other things, that his baby Suri was impregnated conceived a la Rosemary's Baby with the preserved semen of the deceased Scientology founder and sci-fi author L. Ron Hubbard.
But back to the video: In it, Tom talks about how he wants to spread the message of Scientology.
He said this about being a Scientologist: "It's rough and tumble and it's wild and woolly and it's a blast. It's a blast. It really is fun because there is nothing better than going out there and fighting the fight and suddenly you see things are better."
And please note the purty, shiny logo of the Church of Scientology.
Update 1/17/07: Predictably, the video was taken off YouTube. Head ye on to Gawker, who I just found out - goes to show you how I live under a rock - started this whole thing anyhow.Links:

You people ought to wonder why your so opinionated about something you know nothing about.
How can someone be so ignorant? Are you all just puppets of the media?"
If the media didn't like him, he wouldn't be acting anymore. If anything the media is embracing his new life and won't shut up about him.
How do you know we know nothing about it? News flash, there are books out there about Scientology, published by the founder of Scientology explaining what it is. Are you in junior high or something? Maybe it's YOU who needs to read up on Scientology instead of defending some actor with a bad haircut who does movies that are one hit wonders and will never become classics.
A friend of mine lived with a room mate who is a Scientologist. He has all his stuff packed up in boxes; the guy disappeared. Not even his family knows where he is. The world has to wake up and ban this religion before it gets out of hand. I believe Germany has banned Scientology.
