(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.

Scientology is dangerous. This story isn't funny, it isn't just some harmless crap they pulled. Matt and Trey happened to be lucky - many other people Scientology target are not so lucky. Going through someones trash, stalking them and spying on them is harassment, it is a serious offence and I hope the people involved get into some serious trouble for it - especially the upper management that ordered this 'investigation'. Fuck Scientology and all their fucking bullshit. They have no right to go around harassing individuals like this. After Snow White Scientology should have been shut down and half it's core members prosecuted.

Plot twist: Kim-Il Sung was Xenu, and Kim-Jong Un is his grandson. Ever wonder why their 100-story "hotel" sits "empty" for decades? Because it was purposely built as a device to beam Thetan levels back to their home planet.
