Defamer reports that Viacom has caved into pressure by Tom Cruise to make the Scientology-influenced episode of South Park disappear. Cruise reportedly threatened to not promote Mission Impossible III unless they followed through with the censorship. Not promote Mission Impossible? You mean like not jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch and looking like a crazed idiot or taking on psychiatry on Access Hollywood? (Note: both links contain video if you click through).

Want to see what the stink is all about? Click here to see the South Park video. Warning: it is absolutely hilarious and not appropriate for people who have no sense of humor.

Update: What really happened with Isaac Hayes and South Park over the Scientology episode?
