For those of you who have been asleep on the internet for the past 2 months I'll briefly bring you up to speed.
At the beginning of this year (or maybe very end of last year) a video of Tom Cruise at a Scientology awards ceremony was leaked onto the internet. Because of the sheer insanity of it, users quickly copied it all over the net. Gawker.com was the first to post it and is seemingly the last. The Church of Scientology is very well known for its legal team and "damage control" against critics so a slew of legal threats quickly ran out the door. Gawker has refused to remove the video and is now engaged in a legal battle with the CoS (Church of Scientology). In a outcry of freedom of speech after people began taking a closer look at other instances of bullying from the CoS the interwebs decided to take action.
On January 16th 2008 open war was declared on the cult. There has been tons of media coverage worldwide online and in the news. Yesterday the story even made it to the LA Times (which is some serious credibility).
I will be attending the protest on March 15th in LA. There will be events scheduled worldwide. It will be to celebrate L. Ron Hubbards birthday- we will be bringing cake. It will be delicious. You will have a slice.

Anyone else been paying attention or have anything to say about the situation and activities?
