WE ARE NOT AMUSED

The Sun Newspaper reported that nervous TV bosses have axed an episode of South Park which outs a fictional Tom Cruise character as gay — because they are scared the real actor will sue.

Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise is not amused by satire or cartoons.
If they suggest that he is gay, with lawyers he communes;
his whale-like ego quails at the blunt, inaccurate harpoons
of gossips and of South Park and other teacup-sized typhoons.

Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise will quickly lose all measure of respect
for within that grin there seems to be no humour to detect.
The Scientologist’s posturing leads one to suspect
that he who sues so flagrantly has secrets to protect.

Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise is not amused by satire or cartoons.
He lives a bubble-wrapped existence, in ego-based cocoons
like so many other actors and media tycoons.
He’s spoilt – so it’s lots of fun bursting his balloons.
