L. Ron's Winter Wonderland
L. Ron Hubbard's army of elves (some of you might know them by their proper name, Scientologists) had to work their tiny hands to the bone, but their seasonal tribute to their leader is up again on Hollywood Boulevard. The reader who sent us these camera-phone shots raised an interesting question while pondering the Scientology Santa in the center of this cheery tableau, who was patiently waiting for photo-ops with passing tykes: "What kid is going to be out on Hollywood Blvd. at 10 p.m. in the pouring rain?" The kind that loves Christmas, silly!
Still, what kind of Scrooge isn't drawn into the spirit of the season by picturing the children of Scientology tearing through their living rooms in their footie pajamas, anxious to see what Santa Cruise left them under their carefully decorated e-meter? I got a cure for my ADD and stuttering without being poisoned and mind controlled by the pharmaceutical industry! says little Timmy. I got some incriminating photos of me eating paste stapled to a reminder to pay the two thousand dollar bill for my last auditing session! says wee Jane. Ah, the happy, happy sounds of the Yuletide season!
