“Tom is planning to build a $10 million bunker under his Telluride estate. It’s a self-contained underground shelter with a high tech air-purifying system where up to ten people can survive for years.”

PS
Why is it called scientology ? Is there any scientific proof that this Xenu person/thing exists ?

I always thought the word "scientology" was redundant. If it's a science, it's already an "olgy".

This may be ill-advised*, but given the OP, I can't resist a quick 'chop. I'm a sucker for lolcats anyway (or at least a spoof of one).

(It's worth taking a closer look at the image. You can't see the other half of the joke from the thumb. It's subtle, sort of.)

*Mods, if there's a problem, by all means take it down.

Would one call this a Cruiserbunker?

Maybe an "On The Beach Cruiser"...


Now, given the teachings of Dianetics, wouldn't a much better location for the Cruise crew and their bunker be a live volcano?

I must be thick as a plank.
I don't get it.

Don't the scientologist already have a bunker somewhere in New Mexico where they plan to store the collected works of All Wrong Hubbard ?

No worries, as I suggested, it's subtle unless you're familiar with the conventions in Fark-style photoshop contests, and the usual memes. Here's a hint on the subtle part: take a close look at the reflection in the sunglasses.

The overt majority of the joke has a long, sordid history (Safe for BAUT, I think, unless I missed something.). The lower-most image of the cat in the car was the nearest direct ancestor to my little bit of fun.

I was talking to someone about Robert Stack and the Untouchables..
It's funny how films do that.
It was alomst like a "trip"...
Kinda like when you say a word over and over in your mind until it sounds funny.
These actors are either old and gray or dead- Yet because of film, we see them moving and talking and young...

Like an airplane. Forget the physics of it the the thing is a hunk of metal and it FLIES.

Eh...
Weird stuff us humans do...

Concrete. Titanium re-bar.

why do i have an image of Travolta trying to get him to "please come out of the bunker"...

i was thinking more along the lines of a very good episode of South Park where Tom Cruise was in the closet and wouldn't come out, so they sent in Travolta to talk him out, only to have him get into the closet with Tom after he saw how nice it was in there. that episode has a very good description of what Scientology is all about. in fact, Isaac Hayes quit doing the voice of Chef partially becasue of that episode..

Yeah, I saw that one. It didn't leave too much leeway for anything creative though.

Too bad about Isaac. A mind is a terrible thing to Hubbard.

when Tom is in there, someone should make a big sign saying "Xenu, Tom's in here", pointing to his little pit.

Xenu who?
