Scientology Tries To Block German Documentary 565
eldavojohn writes "The Guardian is reporting on the strained relationship that Scientology is having with the German government and the airing of a pesky documentary on Southwest Broadcasting. Until Nothing Remains, a $2.3 million documentary, is slotted to air on German television at the end of this month. It recounts the true story of Heiner von Rönn and his family's suffering when he tried to leave the Church of Scientology. A Scientology spokesperson called the film false and intolerant and also said they are investigating legal means to stop the film from being aired. More details on the film can be gleaned here."

We're talking about Germany. I'd suggest "Hasselhoff Effect" instead.

When we shipped the religious nutters to the colonies, the understanding was that they were supposed to stay there. Not come back!

You only have one language in Australia? Here in the US we have Ebonics, Redneck, Tex-Mex, Corporate-speak, Geek, and a host of other languages.
Geek: Look, you just delete all the temp files and defrag the hard drive. Get more RAM and windows will run faster.
Ebonics: "Dat Sound geek to me."
Redneck: What da fuck y'all talkin' about? What's dis "winders" shit?

All Scientologists are annoying.
Barbara Streisand is annoying.
Therefore, Barbara Streisand is a Sceintologist.
Yeah, I know it's bad logic, but this logic is at least as good as a Sceintologist's.
