Vertical Integration Sissy Girl?

From the Washington Post today:
Everyone's in a Stew Over 'South Park' Chef:

“Even more mysterious, Hayes did not quit the show when Comedy Central first ran the episode, called ‘Trapped in the Closet,’ last November.

In the episode, fourth-grader Stan scores so high on a Scientology test that followers decide he is the reincarnation of its founder, sci-fi writer L. Ron Hubbard.

Scientologists show up at Stan’s house in droves. Stan finds celebrity Scientologist Tom Cruise in his bedroom; Cruise asks Stan what he thinks of Cruise’s acting work. Stan pronounces him not as good as Leonardo DiCaprio, Gene Hackman or ‘that guy who played Napoleon Dynamite.’ Cruise, crushed, hides in Stan’s closet. John Travolta, another celeb Scientologist, and R&B artist R. Kelly each try to get Cruise to come out of the closet. For the rest of the episode, ‘Tom Cruise’ and ‘come out of the closet’ are said in the same sentence. Like 39 times.…”
