Scientology Vs South Park.
Yahoo News ran a report by Reuters annoucing that South Park lost out to The Simpsons on an Emmy because Emmy voters, apparently, shied away from giving the prize to "South Park" for an episode lampooning Scientology and Tom Cruise.
According to Wikipedia, which has a article on Scientology , Scientolgy has the "Hidden Truth" about the nature of the universe which is taught to only the most advanced Scientologists. If i'm not wrong, South Park actually gave out this "secret knowledge" in the episode titled "Trapped in the Closet". You can view the this episode at Youtube (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3).
Personally, i love both South Park and Simpsons so it doesn't really matter to me who got that Emmy. What i'm amused is the alleged reason reported.
Is Scientology becoming that strong in USA or is this just an isolated case ? Only time will tell...
The only sad thing that is that The Simpsons's "The Seemingly Neverending Story" din even got featured on Youtube as the controversy took over the Emmy Award.
