Gawker has Tom Cruise’s crazy ass Scientology Recruitment video and they’re not taking it down. Kudos to Nick Denton and crew for having the big balls to stand up to one of the creepiest cult wacko religions around.

Gawker has it:

You have to watch this video. It shows Tom Cruise, with all the wide-eyed fervor that he brings to the promotion of a movie, making the argument for Scientology, the bizarre 20th-century religion. Making the argument is an understatement. The Hollywood actor, star of movies such as Mission Impossible, is a complete fanatic. “When you’re a Scientologist, and you drive by an accident, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you’re the only one who can really help… We are the way to happiness. We can bring peace and unite cultures.” There’s much much more. Let me put it this way: if Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch was an 8 on the scale of scary, this is a 10.

Go and watch the video, it’s damn scary.

On a person note to Tom, John, Will, and the rest of the Scientologists…

You also should take 22 minutes and watch South Park’s amazing sendup of Scientology, Trapped in the Closet.

UPDATE: Gawker got a take down notice from Lord Xenu’s the Scientologist’s lawyers and told them to shove it.
