I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

pretty sure it's obvious we're all making fun of how old she looks compared to cruise... I don't have a problem with it though.. just pointing it out. okay?

bune's joke was an obvious Scientology joke though?

making fun of how old she looks simultaneously.. it's hilarious

Her age was the setup, not the punchline. The punchline was that Scientologists are insane.

The joke isn't that she's old; it's that he's different from everyone else by virtue of his money and value system. If you look at Bada's post and think "Wow she's funny," I think it says more about your worldview than it does the joke maker's intention...

Bune's followup was an obvious play on Cruise's weird devotion to Scientology. Why is this even a little difficult for you guys to understand?
