Scientology Tries To Block German Documentary
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."
This is like the Streisand effect ...
We're talking about Germany. I'd suggest "Hasselhoff Effect" instead.
Why would they need to deny that? It's a documentary, that's the point.
Or in the words of Kennedy, "Ich bin ein Anonymer."
Thats eleven words.
Oh this one. Geez, never heard about it, never would have, except now they sue so the entire world hears about it.
Streisand Effect anyone?
When we shipped the religious nutters to the colonies, the understanding was that they were supposed to stay there. Not come back!

The Dark Ages are calling, they'd like you to rejoin them.
given the number of topless asian chicks in the photos on the wiki page, I'd say the danger is off-set by enough awesome to let them slide... for now.
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?

It's true no man is an island, but if you take a bunch of dead guys and tie 'em together, they make a good raft.
