Nancy Cartwright In Hot Water Over Bart Simpson Scientology Robo-Calls - Page 2
''The Simpsons' does not, and never has, endorsed any religion, philosophy or system of beliefs any more profound than Butterfinger bars,' according to TV gossip website The Live Feed.
DOH! It seems what started out as an internal leak from within the Scientology community, may come back to haunt Cartwright, Scientology and the folks at the Simpson production team.
This story, which is now not only all over the gossip rags, is also hitting mainstream media. The "religion" that is Scientology has been reduced to a punchline to almost any and every joke related to cults, religion and celebrity culture, and they are doing a fantastic job of marginalizing themselves even further with incidents like this. In researching this story, I came across several commenters who voiced concerns over having their kids watch a show which uses its characters to promote one religion over another. Some parents said they were going to ban the show from their homes and inform their friends to do the same. Word is spreading like a virus and Scientology is the STD no one wants.
Nancy Cartwright, who donated $10million dollars to the Church of Scientology, has crossed a line with the public and this may turn out to be a major fiasco.
Oh, and be sure to call that number at the end of the video above (the one that doesn't use Simpson images and hasn't been pulled yet) and ask what an OT7 is, what's the Wall Of Fire and if Lord Xenu will be there. But hurry, the event is this Saturday!
