Olbermann on Scientology

Thanks to the people of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, for allowing YouTubists to disseminate clips of their shows. Olbermann understand the internets and has been good at getting smart viral marketing rockstars to spread his gospel --just like the people behind The Daily Show did with Jon Stewart.

Anyhoo, check out this interview with Dave Touretzky, a 'cultologist' and one of the lead critics of Scientology. Interesting quote : "Scientology has one set of rules for celebrities and another set of rules for everybody else".

The video is after the jump.

Xena vs. Xenu

Submitted by phoenix (not verified) on 12 July 2006 - 1:01pm.

This is a great interview, thanks! I just hope that Xena ends up winning the galactic battle over Xenu. She's more cute.

By the way, Comedy Central is re-airing the formerly censored, and now emmy-nominated "Trapped in the Closet" South Park episode about scientology/tom cruise on July 19!

Words to live by

Recent revelations that all people are more than 99.9 percent genetically identical has proved that race has almost no biological validity. Yet geneticists' claims that race is a phony construct have not rung true to many nonscientists -- and understandably so, said Vivian Ota Wang of the National Human Genome Research Institute in Bethesda.

"You may tell people that race isn't real and doesn't matter, but they can't catch a cab," Ota Wang said. "So unless we take that into account it makes us sound crazy."
