I just started reading the new book about Scientology by Lawrence Wright, "Going Clear". Very interesting. Whether or not he was crazy, Hubbard was fascinating.

Politicians have the ability to manipulate people here and now, cult leaders have the ability to manipulate people decades and centuries after their death. Fascinating? Yeah.

It's well worth your time to page thru this opus here,

The real Hubbard was a lot more remarkable than the idiotic biography he coughed up to fuel his cult.


themilkshark - 2013-02-04

Seriously, we advertise religions on TV now, during the fucking Superbowl?


Rodents of Unusual Size - 2013-02-04

Well, it's more of a money making scam. And it's way more of a business than a lot of other SuperBowl advertisers.

'Think for yourself. Join our cult'


mon666ster - 2013-02-04

Beat me to it.


Hay Belly - 2013-02-04

How is that different than any advertising.


BHWW - 2013-02-04

Whenever I see a Scientology ad I flashback to those commericals from years ago where the announcer said "Man is not an ANIMAL"


cognitivedissonance - 2013-02-04

If somebody is willing to join a murderous space alien death cult after seeing a commercial during the Super Bowl, they deserve every ounce of misery they're about to get and every last dime drained from their bank account by said murderous space alien death cult.

Yeah, but people have fucking kids.


SteamPoweredKleenex - 2013-02-04

And their money helps fuel said death cult.


cognitivedissonance - 2013-02-04

I disagree with what you say, but I will fight for... HA HA HA HA HA WHO AM I KIDDING, I'D SPIT ON YOUR CORPSE.


Innocent Bystander - 2013-02-04

You know this could be an ad for pretty much anything from Amazon.com to an energy drink.


Supahfly - 2013-02-04

Exactly.


SteamPoweredKleenex - 2013-02-04

"You're possessed by space alien ghosts, give us all your money" isn't exactly a great selling point. Best to spring that on the marks after you've got them hooked.


Udderdude - 2013-02-04

"Cosmic space Jew died for your sins" isn't a very good one, either, but I guess that one's gone mainstream.


The Mothership - 2013-02-04

I kept hearing Why? Why? Why? like it was an Enron ad.


SteamPoweredKleenex - 2013-02-04

Most people wouldn't be able to get to the Cosmic Space Jew part unless they had a high tolerance for talking animals.


Miss Henson's 6th grade class - 2013-02-04

Actually, it sounds exactly like an ad for the Apple Macintosh. That "think different" thing from a decade or so back.


Aelric - 2013-02-04

Great, I agree with every word...until it turns out you are a Scientology ad and represent a money-sucking cult that abuses all these ideas.


PegLegPete - 2013-02-04

Yes, the only thing that matters is what's true for you. Too bad everyone else thinks you're full of shit.


memedumpster - 2013-02-04

Scientology : we will say absolutely anything for money because we hate you and all life, the earth and its rancid mothers' cunts.

Join us!


garcet71283 - 2013-02-04

I still can't help but think that Scientology will end in the biggest mass-suicide the world has ever seen.


SteamPoweredKleenex - 2013-02-04

I would so love to attend the garage sale afterwards.


Screwtape - 2013-02-04

5 million copies of Battlefield Earth, $.50 each!


SteamPoweredKleenex - 2013-02-04

I was thinking that they've got to have some sweet Star Trek-like office furniture, but insulation is good, too.


Jet Bin Fever - 2013-02-05

I would love to pick up all that freed up Malibu real estate!


Paracelsus - 2013-02-04

You think? I think the endgame is more of a fizzle. Membership declines until all there are left are pockets of these wackos in various parts of the world, maybe a splinter offshoot group or three.


Hooker - 2013-02-04

I feel like we should be bigger snobs about language. I understand and respect the idea that language is everyone's to use and manipulate to create beautiful things and to communicate in new and creative ways. However, this is not what "knowledge" means. There should be more snobbery about this. People should be irritating assholes when other people completely misuse words, intentionally or unintentionally, this badly.


John Holmes Motherfucker - 2013-02-05

You could easily recut that ad and put any fucking website you like at the end: wikipedia, 4chan, nambla.org


Nonconformity is not a bumper sticker. Indeed, nothing is a bumper sticker, except bumper stickers.


Caminante Nocturno - 2013-02-06

A religion like Scientology could only have been born in a country like the USA, and that is so depressing and embarrassing.
