Tom Cruise on Scientology... Again

Tom Cruise Babbles On

Most of us who had the opportunity to watch the "Tom Cruise on Scientology" interview pulled off of youtube could have been wondering the same thing; "what the hell is he talking about?" Tom Cruise sits in front of the camera explaining "the privilege" he has earned through the organization and the ability "to create better realities." The approximately ten minute long video had a brief run on you tube before being pulled off.

The video was filmed in honor of his award for the 2005 Freedom Medal of Valor, a valuable achievement in the organization. The video was quickly pulled from you tube and most believe it was due to the seemingly mindless babble that happens whenever Cruise is interviewed. Like the brief negative attention he received on his May 23, 2005 interview on the Oprah show. Laughing hysterically, he jumped on the couch he was being interviewed on and behaved what many have thought to be unprofessional. Although he did not perform any jumps or leaps in this video, his random hysterical laughter can be considered unbecoming of the seriousness he seemingly wanted to convey.

Scientology which is the brainchild of science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, gained fame in the past couple of years with such followers as Tom Cruise and his former wife Mimi Rogers. The video for many who viewed it, has done nothing but further confuse its viewers on the basis of Scientology and challenge the character of those who have made themselves a part of this group that struggles to become a respected religion.
