You should add more videos of his rantings and organize them by chapter: Chapter 1 Matt Lauer episode; Chapter 2 Couch Jump...and so on.

According to Tom-Cat (Scientolgist extraordinary Psheeeew! Xenu at the accident, or as they say say'n u at the org say dent) Tom Cat probably feels he has conquered outer space, me-thinks he still has a long way to go before conquoring his own inner space!

The Colbert one was hilarious, especially because it just seemed to come out of nowhere and was dead on.

Isn't there a video of Tom crying that we can add to the lineup?

@Pope John Peeps II: Hey, no net forum is complete without someone on there who has some pedo connections or digs scat porn. It happens everywhere from religious forums to the dude who posted photos of himself raping his baby on LJ. No forum is perfect because people are far from perfect.

I'm saying that most of the time they find the newest web sensations before the rest of the world catches on, have turned in pedophiles to authorities (the dude in Canada they busted was a total win), and they are actually standing up to the lawyer machine that is the CoS.

@mandelion: That was pretty retarded. Are you seriously defending 4chan as a force for good? If by "good", you mean "furry porn", then sure...

4chan likely isn't "anonymous". "anonymous" likely isn't even "anonymous". tHey're all just Nick Denton.

haha - sorry about that. I'm a wordy bitch at times and watching the main 3 networks shake like wimps at the fear of the almighty Cruise was beyond irritating.

I blame lolcats and Vicodin for that above!

@Nick Douglas: You fucking rock for covering this man. I loved your article last week on old meme and new meme.

4chan is a force that should be taken seriously. they are smart, they are organized, and they are more than just a group of net nerds who are bored (as other sites have implied). They have purpose beyond creating the best memes out there, as all the good ones come from 4chan or hit unbelievable popularity after 4chan embraces it. They aren't doing this because they are hackers on steriods or running around with exploding vans that only dog curtains can protect you from (fox news - you will forever have my love for being that fucking retarded); they're doing it because a corporation/cult masquerading as a religion if only for tax purposes believes they truly control everything to the point news organizations feared showing the leaked Cruise video to begin with. They've been clear they are for people believing what they want but having the free will to do so without fear of retribution.

Legitimate news organizations should not fear a movie star or his connections. A religious group/cult should not have that type of control over our "mainstream and unbiased" media. I believe this applies to any religion or belief system but to see networks tremble before a movie star over any critiques on his life was sad. Are they afraid he might not do interviews again or call Matt Lauer glib while destroying one of their couches? Total fucking pussies and I expect more of any organization claiming to be a "respectable" news source.

Instead of trying to act as if 4chan is a group hellbent on destroying the world, as the videos show otherwise because they are peacefully organized in every case at their demonstrations, or just a bunch of net bullies, I think they deserve credit for standing up without fear to the Church of Scientology. Without blogs yourself doing the same, bravo to you and Defamer, CoS would just keep getting away with the same shit and same bullying tactics.

It's time shit changed. Viva la revolution!

@Landor Sea: When Kurzweil wrote Machines in '99, computers were already considerably smarter than Cruise, and so Tom was disqualified from the vision. Then again, when Ray's contemporary Bobby Moog envisioned synths as being smarter than 1st year piano students, he did remark on Merv Griffin that "Tom Cruise is slightly dumber than a flutaphone".
