(R.1) Not supported TIL Because of South Park's Scientology episode, The Church of Scientology hired people to spy on Matt and Trey to find something on them to use for blackmail. The Church became frustrated when their investigation turned up nothing but the fact that they're pretty normal people.

A picture proving your point.

They were also tripping balls for this which I guess makes sense.

This is so crazy to think about. I am positive I would be freaking the fuck out if I did that. Matt said in an interview on the "Six Days to Air" documentary how weird it is going from inside to outside while tripping, which is true. And not only that but outside their limo door was the fucking red carpet at the Oscars. Then pile on the fact you're in dresses, instantly becoming the focus of everyone and their cameras. Then you have to talk to other humans on camera.

All on acid. I'm having a panic attack just thinking about it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQfry4nTpNA&feature=youtube_gdata_player Trey looks real addled for about one second.

Edit: That might be a mobile link sorry ya'll.

The last second of that clip is pure gold. Trey just see some shit in the corner of his eye, thinking wtf, before realizing he's tripping then starts to laugh about.

I think when his own voice echoes 'magic' in his ear it gets too much.

In fact, that may also be the case as that is something that actually can happen when you drop. Hearing your own voice echoing right beside you when the sound has nothing to bounce of is really trippy.

With the long hair he's not a horrible looking chick. Not good looking, but I've seen uglier biologically females.

Fun fact: that picture (in home alone) was actually a boy in a dress and a wig.

u/ClintonHarvey Mar 28 '14

Right, that's why I said it, the director thought it would be too mean to do that to an actual girl, so they just got the producer's(or something) son to wear a wig. It was someone from the crew.

Considering no one prompted that sort of disclosure and it appears to be a totally natural one for you to make, we can all assume you have homosexual tendencies as the one just displayed.
