Boycott “Mission Impossible: 3”
Andrew Sullivan is pretty worked up over Paramount censoring South Park to appease outraged Scientologists.
Email Viacom to protest their submission to Tom Cruise. The main email address I can find on their site is press@viacom.com. Email Comedy Central to demand the airing of “Trapped in the Closet”; use this page to send an email and put “Support Freedom of Speech” in the contents line; and add your own personal message beneath. If you’re a blogger, encourage your readers to do the same, and advertize these email addresses on your site. Let’s see if we can harness the blogosphere against the censors. Finally, make sure you don’t go see Paramount’s “Mission Impossible: 3,” Cruise’s upcoming movie. I know you weren’t going to see it anyway. But now any money you spend on this movie is a blow against freedom of speech. Boycott it. Tell your friends to boycott it.
I wasn’t going to see “Mission Impossible: 3,” but Paramount doesn’t know that. I’m sending them a letter—you should too.
Sorry, no thanks. My lesson for this year is that cartoons are not worth getting worked up over.
