Video Clip

        In a fairly short clip of The Daily Show Stephan Colbert discusses and mocks Tom Cruise and his belief in scientology. Colbert also makes fun of the idea and concept behind the principle that does not believe in God, but science. He says that scientology revolves around an alien “overlord” who flew aliens into earth from space and then chained them to volcanoes. When these volcanoes erupted the aliens blew up only to create the “satanic” minds of the human being. This is obviously a false identification of what this practice truly revolves around, since this show is satirical. Colbert also mocks Tom Cruise’s appearance on the Oprah show and how he talked about his beliefs and did crazy things, such as jump on the couches.  He also tells the audience he has now “saved them church fees” as a joke to those who attend one.  The satire shows the disapproval of most of the public regarding this theory, by creating a short cartoon visual, making it seem like the idea is bogus and crazy. The video is then followed by a list of famous celebrities who believe in the practice of Scientology.  I think this video serves its purpose in mocking the idea that is accepted by a modicum amount of people. However, it does come across as a bit offensive and rude, making people feel as though their beliefs and morals are not appreciated and accepted.
