We were brave. We were valiant. And we musta been crazy. With Tom Cruise flitting around New York yesterday, we had no choice but to leave our square footage and track the crazy all the way to Times Square. But we didn't just wade our way through the crowds and push up against 4 Times Square like your average stalker. Nah, we finagled our way upstairs into the TRL studio for the culmination of Day Two of the Mission: Impossible 3 publicity marathon, complete with live Kanye West performance.
Sure, our efforts may have been misguided: Cruise never entered the studio, as he did yesterday, and instead boarded a firetruck (then a helicopter and a subway train) to parade around town before hitting his 7pm premiere at the Ziegfeld Theater, meaning we were locked upstairs while Kanye told to audience to pretend to love his movie soundtrack single, "Impossible," and Nelly Furtado debuted a video that all but assured us she'd abandoned her style for Timbaland team-ups that will sell records.
But our mission, which we chose to accept (if only because we gave it to ourselves), was not entirely a failure. En route to the second floor studio – where High School Week promised plenty of tweens still naive enough to believe Cruise's true love for Katie Holmes – we were accosted (okay, approached) by a Scientology flack promoting their latest Dianetics film. It's free!, shouted the postercard. It's running every 15 minutes! Bring friends!
While we didn't make it to their West 46th Street location, we did make it back to Jossip HQ to scan the card for your perusing enjoyment. After the jump, our collection of Scientology swag begins.
(We also caught a screening of M:I:3, and while there was plenty of blowing stuff up, we'll never be able to see Tom Cruise as a sex symbol again.)

It would be great if the press stopped calling Tom Cruise a crazy person. It reminds me psychiatry labelling everyone crazy so that they can make billions in profit, and never cure anyone. What is crazy? someone who behaves like he is having fun in life. Who is the press working for? Not for us - the people
Tom is blackmailed by Cos; I know for sure.
Roman, you are either a CO$ shill, totally oblivious or a twit.
Go to http://www.XENU.net and about dozen others, listen to Dave Touretzky speak online and THEN come back here and say that again.
There are about 2 dozen reasons why Cruise is dangerous not including promoting the space alien loving sect, his 'treatment' of drug addiction and ton of diseases through Niacin and sauna and all the other lunatic views that he got from a 3rd rate scifi writer and which he treats with as much enlightment as a cartoon lovin muslim.
If anything, the press has been very, very, very kind to him especially in the US. Then again, the press treats things like Kosovo and Iraq WMDs with the same reverence so we shouldnt be surprised.
I'd say Scientology is a farce, a cult, a scam and the product of a man who once said: "If you want to make a million dollars, start a religion…" but I would get sued. So I'll just say this: Tom Cruise can't act, Katie Holmes is a half-wit, and anybody voluntarily appearing on TRL has no idea what good music is. Did I mention that L. Ron Hubbard is a crappy writer? I'd sooner follow a religion that was invented by a drunken Douglas Adams.

Dude, every religion is a farce… Catholic, Protestants, Muslim, Hinduism, Crazy Mormons… all of them!!! The Christian ones more so………… Organized religions are nothing but fakes and money sucking hypnotizing cults.
