Bart Simpson robocalls for Scientology

A squat little man with dubious hair and a penchant for suggesting people place their mouths near his shorts has been robocalling on behalf of the Church of Scientology.

Yes, Bart Simpson. (Who on earth did you think I was talking about?)

The Village Voice reported that Nancy Cartwright, the lady who is Bart's tonsils, called many people to invite them to a Scientology event. And she used her Bart impression to make an impression.

The Voice quotes Cartwright's call: "'This is Bart Simpson' -- she quickly says she's just kidding and identifies herself. But she keeps talking in the voice of Bart as she announces 'I'm now auditing on New OTVII,' says that she will "share my many wins" as an "auditor" at a the Hollywood Scientology event, and assures us, "It's gonna be a blast, man! (Bart laugh)'"

(I believe that 'OTVII' and 'auditing' are technical terms of Scientology, rather than banking.)

One of the robocalls (Ms. Cartwright is, indeed, a Scientologist) seems to have fallen on the wrong ears and some might find the recording just faintly odd.

Bart does not seem happy.

Who am I to say that L. Ron Hubbard, the Church's founder, is not the second coming of deity? Or of hucksterism? But I am not entirely sure that Bart Simpson would be fond of some of the Church's slightly outside-the-sandbox beliefs.

I have a feeling Bart would not warm to videos such as this Scientological YouTube Classic, in which Tom Cruise's eyes express far more than they did in Vanilla Sky.

Please could any of you suggest what Reverend Lovejoy might have said on receiving Ms. Cartwright's robocall? Would he have thought the event might be a 'blast'?

Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard while he was still sane told his son
"You know how to get rich... start a religion." admitting that Scientology is nothing but a fictionally created story.
Scientology is nothing but a corporation that thrives off the ignorance of it's followers by selling them and whoever else books, and courses on how to "improve" themselves spiritually.
One of their expensive scams is that they will sell you for extremely large
amounts of money a series of books that in the end are supposed to teach you how to walk through walls.... and after spending long hours of self deceptive meditation, a lot of money, and reading you become brainwashed to believe that you can actually walk through walls and when you try to and end up bumping your nose against the wall you are told that you couldn't do it because you're not ready yet however there are more books and courses available that will someday make it possible for you to do so for larger amounts of money butt not really.
Scientology = manipulative corporate scam brainwashing moneybaggers club
Scientologist = manipulated misguided fool

I know someone who got sucked into Scientology, I didn't know he was a Scientologist until one day, about 4 years ago, he said "Rob here's a book you should read." He passed me Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard. I laughed and said "L. Con Flubbfart ha forget it." For the first time in the years since I've known the guy he displayed anger and I'm talking very angry!!! Verbally with an agressive face.
After that display he went on to talk about the ability to walk through walls, he hasn't reached that level but he plans on getting there etc...
I've also heard of that course from an ex-Scientologist and neither of them know each other
Here's a website that describes some of the unusual deaths of Scientology members

Just because it's on Wikipedia does not mean it is factual information. The goes with this repeated copy and pasted messages that is pasted everywhere by people.

There must be 50 ways to leave your Scientology master
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
and get yourself free

Where do you get this information from?

I feel that this might have not been a good idea with the use of Bart Simpson voice but who is to say what a person can practice or not practice. Who is to say what is a religion and what is not a religion. Not sure that posting the same text all over the place makes a difference (Robert_Lindblad J). I see the same text all over the internet. Just because it is online does not mean its true.
