South Park won't out Tom Cruise in Britain

The British won't get to see the infamous episode of
South Park, which outted Tom Cruise something like 13 times in 22 minutes. Cruise, who has a crazy fear about
people thinking he's gay, complained about the episode to Paramount and the production company agreed not to play it
again. According to The Register in the U.K., Paramount got worried that Cruise would sue them, as he has sued so many
tabloids in the past whenever they 'out' him.The episode in question aired November 16th here in the states. It featured Nicole Kidman and John Travolta characters who kept pleading for Tom to "come out of the closet." At one point, Kidman's cartoon character says, "Don't you think this has gone on long enough? You're not fooling anyone." It really was a funny episode and I'm sad that our friends in Britain won't see it but I'm sure if you scour the internet hard enough, you'll find it.
