(I thought for some reason this was next Saturday, but apparently it really is tomorrow. I presume the weather will suck slightly less.)

INTERNET RE-ENACTMENT EVENT: PICKET AGAINST SCIENTOLOGY

In the closing years of the last millennium, a shadowy and powerful organisation operating under cover of religion attempted to silence criticism of itself on the Usenet™ bulletin board chatroom message network. The backlash from this event resonated forth as Internet Freedom Fighters sprung forth, goggles on and capes a-flutter, to defend their right to discuss and criticise the powerful in public.

Not many remember those dark days, before Xenu was fodder for children's cartoon shows and surgery soap operas. But our re-enactors will be out in force. See them enturbulate™ the Scientologists! See the Scientologists with their E-Meters™, "stress-testing" random passers-by! See authentic living critics of Scientology singing silly songs through the Xenu Boom Box!

1pm, Tottenham Court Road Museum of Scientology, W1T 2EZ, next door to CEX near Goodge Street Station. Bring an umbrella.

(Lisa McPherson, my old Australian Critics of Scientology page and why I bothered.)

I wonder how they will reenact the volcano...with all the dead bodies at the base of it.

Damn! I wish I was there.

Is that shitty little shopfront a "museum" now? ffs

[reddragdiva]

It's Dianetics™ now. "Museum" is my jest.

Why on earth give them the credence of picketing?

All that is necessary is to remind folk that this 'religion' was invented by a science-fiction writer who became a millionaire.

Hey, it was our hard work that made Xenu famous!

Usenet™ bulletin board chatroom message network

Usenet's trademarked? Entirely too many adjectives there too.

There was a fucking Scientology tent at our little Ferntree Gully market yesterday!

The $cientologists were out in force in Sydney last night...I felt like kicking over their table. Later on I saw some bossy bitch in seaorg uniform berating some newly indoctrinated members...GRRR
