Since it is a Sunday, I'll begin with a touch of levity by sharing this humorous little gem "The Daily Show on Scientology". Over the last month Scientology has been the focus of intense criticism in the blogging world. The saga really began after Anthony Walter, a journalism student, posted an article entitled "Scientology is not Science" to his site www.codebot.org.

Highly critical of the church, the article also linked repeatedly to the now infamous ytmnd clip "The Un-Funny Truth About Scientology". The article became an Internet sensation after being posted to the popular technology site digg.com [2]. Within days though, swift legal manoeuvring by the church saw the closure of codebot.org (now back online). Ytmnd followed up with "The Un-funny sequel", which provides a great animated history of the affair.

The Internet is now awash with articles (a very clever dissection official Scientology materials) and media clips regarding the church, but for a complete history check out the wiki article which chronicles this Internet obsession.
