During it's current ten year run, the Comedy Central series South Park has parodied nearly every major religion and more than a few celebrities. Over these years, plenty of controversy and protest has amassed over the content of many of its episodes. Many episodes have been boycotted by religious groups and other organizations when the contents of the episode were found to be "offensive" to their group. Until recently, only one South Park episode had been banned from rebroadcast on Comedy Central, and the content of that episode involved child abuse.

Then, in November 2005, South Park delivered an episode entitled "Trapped in the Closet" which parodied Scientology along with some of it's outspoken members, such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta. After its original broadcast in the U.S., the episode was never aired in Great Britain, because Tom Cruise himself threatened to sue. When the episode was scheduled for re-run on Comedy Central in the US, it was mysteriously pulled last-minute. Rumor has it that this was due to Tom Cruise threatening not to promote his upcoming Paramount Picture's Mission: Impossible III if the episode was rebroadcast. Both Paramount and Comedy Central are owned by Viacom.

Viacom and Paramount need to be aware of the impact this action has had on 3.5 million potential movie goers. 3.5 million people. That is the number of viewers who tuned in on March 22, 2006 to view Matt Stone and Trey Parker's rebuttal towards the controversy. Tom Cruise threatened to not publicize Mission: Impossible III. Now 3.5 million viewers can potentially take a stand by NOT seeing said movie.

Mission: Impossible III opens on May 5, 2006. In the meantime, we need to make Viacom and Paramount understand that this is more of an ultimatum than a boycott. There is still an out for them - Approval for Comedy Central to show an advertised 9:30PM EST or 10:00PM EST showing of "Trapped in a Closet". Simple as that.

To those at Viacom, we, the undersigned, hereby declare to boycott any sales that contribute towards the profits of Paramount Picture's Mission: Impossible III, until the aforesaid rebroadcast occurs. This will continue as long as it takes. This boycott includes the sales of ticket, apparel, videogames, videogame retals, dvds, dvd rentals, and any other merchandise relating to Mission: Impossible III.

Sincerely, The Undersigned,
