Professional nut-job (and Joey Potter spoiler) Tom Cruise has blocked further broadcast of a recent South Park episode that mocked him, his sexuality, and Scientology (but strangely not Katie Holmes). "Trapped in the Closet," the November 2005 episode in question -- perhaps the show's most classic celebrity-attacking eps since "Fat Butt and Pancake Head" brought the world Ben Affleck making love to a taco-flavored Jennifer Lopez handpuppet attached to Cartman back in 2003 -- found an animated Cruise literally "in the closet" after his acting is insulted. While the world emplores Cruise to "come out of the closet," he is joined by John Travola and R.Kelly, and the whole thing becomes sublimely funny.

It's a shame that we won't get to see this hilarious episode again because Cruise is "said not to like the episode and Paramount just didn't dare risk showing it again." Good thing I already have a copy on my iPod. Take that, Tom.
