Tom Cruise Tries To Ban Satirical Website
A website attempting to take the piss out of Tom Cruise�s religion of choice, Scientology, is currently facing closure after officials threatened legal action.

ScienTOMogy.info has received hundreds of complaints from members of the scientology religion after they broadcast spoof videos of the film star from their site.

One of the video�s, called, �Tom Cruise Kills Oprah� satirises Cruise's appearance on Oprah�s chat show showing him electrocuting the queen of daytime with his eyes�is well funny.

The Scoop website has published a letter from the church to ScienTOMogy that reads:

You are hereby on notice that the registration and use of this domain name in this fashion has caused your name to be falsely associated with our client's registered mark, SCIENTOLOGY. The fact that you have changed one letter ("m" instead of "l") does not protect you from trademark infringement."

ScienTOMogy has responded by saying: "The site is purely satirical and is for entertainment. It contains no fact nor claims to do so and is completely non-commercial.

"The site clearly states in its header, 'This site has absolutely no connection whatsoever with the Church of Scientology, its affiliated organisations or, needless-to-say, Tom Cruise'.

"It is designed for commentary and criticism within the limits of Free Speech."
