Jokes and Insults

In another post’s comments here, a commenter called Yoke has last night descended into insulting me because, it seems, I won’t say what he wants me to say about Scientology. So given that I won’t bend to his views on what he calls a religion, it was amusing to see this list of the Top 20 Most funny or Most Offensive religious jokes. There are a few oldies in there, and only one was close to the bone for me – and I’ve heard worse too. No jokes about Scientology either …. but then it’s not funny to mock the terminally stupid. If you work for a religious boss, consider it NSFW :)

Scientology=Junk

Hubbard’s ultimate success lay in convincing millions of people he was something other than a nut.

“I understand radiation better and feel like I could survive an atomic explosion somewhere on the planet, if it wasn’t, of course, really close to me.”

Tom Cruise: Jackass

The American Psychiatric Association have responded to that idiot Cruise (Link (PDF) / BBC) and have made something of the case against him. It’s a shame that they didn’t really take the bit between their teeth and actually call him and his pseudo-cult a bunch of lying, shallow and gullible morons. As it stands, at least the news channels appears to be giving this two-fingered response equal prominence – makes a change.
Why don’t the Press have more of a go at the complete bunk known as Scientology ? EVERYONE knows it is total bollocks yet it attracts hardly any criticism from the mainstream media. Why ? They afraid that Travolta and Cruise will not make any other films ? It’s not like we’d miss Cruise at all is it ? Short-arsed know-it-all with the intellectual abilities of a rabid hamster.
Cruise says “”There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance.” (Link). I hope, I really do hope, that he or someone in his family is struck with a mental health problem and then maybe his eyes will be opened. Or maybe Scientologists (‘ologist’ – makes the idiots seem almost savant) strap people into chairs and torture the evil spirits out ?

Strange – he says something that is blatantly untrue, yet when people say “Tom Cruise really is gay” he sues.

Tom Cruise is full of crap

“You don’t know the history of psychiatry. I do,” says the shortarse. What utter garbage. Tom Cruise knows no more about the history of psychiatry than I do the personal history of a penguin living in a zoo anywhere. That guy is full of crap on this issue and people like him should just STFU about things which in their cossetted bloody lives they have not come across or had to endure. Scientology is garbage, trash, useless and a complete fiction dreamt up by a bloke who needed psychiatric medication ffs. Tom Cruise ? bullshit merchant.
