Church Of Scientology Investigated South Park’s Creators For A Year After They Made Fun Of It | Crushable

Scientology is truly a cult. It's a dangerous quote and I think the fact that they had South Park's creators investigated for a year after the show poked fun at the religion proves that there is a problem. It's no different than when Muslims threatened the people who work on South Park's lives for what they said and did about Islam. You can't do anything against the truth so I see no reason to kill them. On the other hand, although I disagree with them on somethings does not mean they don't have the right to say it or animate it.

Rise of 'Anonymous' Fuels Sales Of Time Warner's 'V For Vendetta' Masks - ComicsAlliance | Comic book culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews

This is an interesting article from Comics Alliance.

In a New York Times piece published this week, writer Nick Bilton makes the keen observation that the cultural ascension of hacker group Anonymous has been a financial boon for Warner Bros., the media company that owns the Guy Fawkes image that protesters wear as a mask. Based on the character "V" from Alan Moore and David Lloyd's classic graphic novel V For Vendetta (as well as the film based on the book), the Guy Fawkes mask sells over 100,000 units a year, with Warner Bros. -- the parent company of comics publisher Vertigo -- earning a licensing fee for each mask sold.

Having staged popular protests, acts of civil disobedience and well-documented hacks against such targets as the Church of Scientology, the Iranian government, Sony, credit card companies and many more, Anonymous is the world's most visible expression of anarchy and rebellion in the digital age. It is a curious irony that the group's activities necessarily fund the activities of the sort of establishment they might seem predisposed to dislike, Warner Bros. and its parent entity, Time Warner.
