Tom Cruise on Scientology

To be honest, I never really understood the morbid fascination with Tom Cruise and his Scientology faith. Sure, it's a weird and exploitative cult, but what else would you expect from a creepy twice-divorced lilliputian who has a Japanese national holiday named after him?. So I didn't think it was a particularly big deal...until I saw this video.

Keep in mind that this footage, though edited, was originally intended as pro-Scientologist propaganda. If this is the stuff they WANT you to see, what on Earth or the Galactic Confederacy are they hiding??
