Tom Cruise has made himself an undesirable commodity. His antics over the past few years, his disturbing behavior and public comments are above and beyond the acceptable norm when considering his position in the public posture. You, as a super – mega – star (if there is such a thing) is to appeal to the largest combination of demographical categories as conceivably possible. I gave up on Cruise years ago. He’s always left a bad taste in my mouth, or at least since he started publicly attacking each and every form of medication, regardless of health benefit. I take medications for my heart that keep me alive. Scientology scares me… but I can say this for them: in my community (Dallas, Texas) they keep to themselves. They aren’t out soliciting “personality surveys” on the street, as they were decades ago. Box office poison. His statements are inflammatory and though there *are* many other actors in Hollywood that make statements equally as controversial, I highly doubt that they command the salary that Tom Cruise expects… Just, of course, in my humble opinion.

Paramount is the parent company of Comedy Central. He threatened to stop all promotion of MI3 (you know the movie they paid him 60 friggin' million for) if they re-aired the scientology episode. I wouldn't put up with it either! I sure wouldn’t want to bring back an employee that tried to blackmail me. Paramount is the parent company of Comedy Central.
