Scientologists rummage through garbage of South Park creators

The 2005 South Park episode ‘Trapped in the Closet’ skewered The Church of Scientology from every angle and into outer space. The episode even touched upon prominent celebrity believers such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta, and speculated that they may live in the closet.

Why their trash? Rathbun explains, "Phone records. Bank records. Personal letters that expose some kind of vulnerability. They’ll read stuff into the kind of alcohol you’re drinking and how much. Prescriptions. They’ll figure out your diet. They can find out a lot about you through your trash."Click to read the entire piece.
