Scientology IS a cult!! - Hoshi101, on 05/22/2008, -5/+44"Epic Nose Man"
- Fireboar, on 05/22/2008, -1/+38This sounds like a Frontpage Foible to me. Incidentally...
"Anonymous will strike until the nine thousandth nail has been driven into the heart and soul of this evil enterprise."
Surely the best 9000 reference I've seen so far. - AnonXXIII, on 05/22/2008, -2/+39subtle rickroll is subtle
- FreddyO, on 05/22/2008, -2/+38the Guardian, the BBC, quite a few people would have seen this. Perhaps the CoS and the London police should be thanked for giving Anonymous this publicity, and getting the media to mention that Scientology is a dangerous cult.
- Hnnnnnghhh, on 05/22/2008, -2/+38Epic Nose Guy will totally lose his virginity because of this. Combo Win
- Rosear, on 05/22/2008, -2/+35 (e) That shortly following Christmas, 1950, said Hubbard
violently strangled plaintiff and sadistically ruptured the
eustachian tube of her left ear, resulting in the impairment of
her hearing. That such strangulation of plaintiff was a frequent
practice on the part of said Hubbard.
(...)
(g) That plaintiff and her medical advisors, following
the foregoing incidents, concluded that said Hubbard was hopelessly
insane, and crazy, and that there was no present hope for said
Hubbard, or any reason for her to indure [sic] further; that competent
medical advisors recommended that said Hubbard be committed to
a private sanitarium for psychiatric observation and treatment
of a mental ailment known as paranoid schizophrenia; that
plaintiff, on the 23rd day of February, 1951, caused the national
executive officer of the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation at
Elizabeth, New Jersey, to be advised of said preliminary diagnosis
and urgent need for treatment; that said national officer immedi-
ately advised said Hubbard of said diagnosis.

Cult. - Bapho, on 05/22/2008, -9/+38Epic Nose Guy is Epic.
His Nose is Epic.
His Speech is Free. - kiderjones, on 05/22/2008, -1/+30I predict a sea of "Scientology = cult" signs on June 14!!
Go London! - vuke69, on 05/22/2008, -0/+23..hopefully not while in prison on a hate crimes conviction..
- NikoKun, on 05/22/2008, -0/+21How so? I totally missed it, even after a re-watch.
- JerodSlay, on 05/22/2008, -1/+22digg me down or whatever, but i must ask: ***** it off??? what does it mean??
- GoKings, on 05/22/2008, -1/+20So wait... You can get charged with a crime in the UK if your sign is "insulting?" Jesus... What is this world coming to?
- KingBroseph, on 05/22/2008, -0/+19This is good; when the court looks into it they'll realize it is a cult.
- aseriesoftubes, on 05/22/2008, -1/+17"You have the right to free speech, so long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it." The Clash

His Speech is Free.
great to see this making the news.And to have the BBC say the words $cientology and CULT in the same sentence - inactive, on 05/22/2008, -1/+17What the *****? You can be fined for calling something a cult in the UK? What the ***** *****? Free speech no longer applies????
And beside, it IS a cult:
a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies.
2. an instance of great veneration of a person, ideal, or thing, esp. as manifested by a body of admirers: the physical fitness cult.
3. the object of such devotion.
4. a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.
5. Sociology. a group having a sacred ideology and a set of rites centering around their sacred symbols.
6. a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.
7. the members of such a religion or sect.
8. any system for treating human sickness that originated by a person usually claiming to have sole insight into the nature of disease, and that employs methods regarded as unorthodox or unscientific. - GregFD3S, on 05/22/2008, -0/+15Scientology is not a religion, its a dangerous cult.
- inigomntoya, on 05/22/2008, -0/+15As long as he can take a dictionary into court with him, he should be OK -
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cult
Telling people they can't use the words Scientology and Cult in the same sentence is stupid and would be completely unconstitutional in the US.
Would this count?
For my Scientology project in school, I cloned a cult. - ho0ber, on 05/22/2008, -1/+15Did the pool just get closed? And for what reason?
- inactive, on 05/22/2008, -4/+17Also, ***** IT OFF!!!
- truspect0r, on 05/22/2008, -1/+13Cult closed due to Thetans.
- PrintScrn12, on 05/22/2008, -0/+11The Public Order Act 1986, Section 5 states:
(1) A person is guilty of an offence if he:
(a) uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or
(b) displays any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting,
within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby.
This offence has the following statutory defences:
(1) The defendant had no reason to believe that there was any person within hearing or sight who was likely to be alarmed of distressed by his action.
(2) The defendant was in a dwelling and had no reason to believe that his behaviour would be seen or heard by any person outside any dwelling.
(3) The conduct was reasonable.
Such a law applied in such a way should not just be attacked by Scientology activists. It's a law that is very broadly applied here to the point it can hurt dissent and criticism within other areas of society. - daeyeth, on 05/22/2008, -0/+11Good, even report from BBC. And whoever spoke for Anonymous giving that quote at the end, props to him. That was a perfect analogy of the situation
- coldfusion1970, on 05/22/2008, -0/+11"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing".
- P1um, on 05/22/2008, -0/+10CULT CULT CULT CULT... cult
lol look what comes up when you google cult. 5th from the top - iamtenninjas, on 05/22/2008, -2/+12Despite the fact that he got charged for displaying a sign, I have to give a lot of credit to the police for actually telling them beforehand that if they don't remove the sign, they will have to be given a summons or arrested. They gave a choice at least. Kudos to the police for that. Kudos to EpicNoseGuy for having the balls to stand up for it too, though.
It's a nice thought, having the police as referees rather than as the bad guys, as they tend to be in America. - dcshiderly, on 05/22/2008, -0/+10last time I checked, I won't get harassed, libeled, slandered, gratuitously sued, physically attacked, or murdered for speaking against the Pope.
The Catholic church won't tell all my neighbors that I'm a dangerous child molester if I (correctly) state they were responsible for the deaths of thousands during the Crusades.
I can leave a Baptist church of my own volition, and they won't track me down and slash the tires of my family. - rich2912, on 05/22/2008, -0/+10Google "dangerous cult" and Scientology steals 5 of the top 10. Good job.
- DeviantDragon, on 05/22/2008, -0/+9Wow that clause of "insulting" is quite broad. That means that if I hold up a sign that says "Gamespot is stupid" outside of Gamestop I could be guilty.
- jamiehd, on 05/22/2008, -5/+14***** IT OFF
- Renork, on 05/22/2008, -0/+9Every revolution needs to start somewhere.
- inactive, on 05/22/2008, -4/+13***** IT OFF YOU SAY?!!?
- lamiaconfitor, on 05/22/2008, -0/+8Steals?? they rightfully earned those!
- PrintScrn12, on 05/22/2008, -0/+8However having such a fine create a strong fear of legal retribution for future criticism. It can set a terrible legal precedent.
- axiomo, on 05/22/2008, -0/+8I think the actions described in this Scientology Exposed PSA kind of -- DEFINE -- a cult, don't you think?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzDqXVLavbU - truspect0r, on 05/22/2008, -2/+9Easy, don't read the story, click the "Bury" button and stop whining.
- shawnanigans, on 05/22/2008, -0/+7What's the definition of a cult? A religion not recognized by the state? Because that is what CoS is.
How is it that a regimented and well funded organization vs a group of internet users wearing mask ends with the internet users with masks and funny names like "EpicNoseGuy" coming off as the sane and rational people? - rich2912, on 05/22/2008, -0/+7English police are generally very respectful... probably because few carry guns; thus, lowering their ego.
- spudnic, on 05/22/2008, -0/+7It first has to be determined if calling the church a 'cult' is insulting, that's what makes this an interesting test case. Believe it or not this could turn out to be a big blow to the church.
- vuke69, on 05/22/2008, -0/+7"...the cult, I mean, the *church*..."
No, no; you had it right the first time.
