All of the Scientology commercials are so generic they could be for anything. But that's understandable, because if they talked about the actual aspects of their religion -- thetans, Xenu, e-meters, Tom Cruise, and John Travolta -- they would really freak everyone out.

Yep, the "Church" of Scientology likes to keeps its promotions vague in hopes of luring in the unwary and bamboozling them with pie-in-the-sky promises and hard sales pitches.
Good thing there's the handy dandy internet to debunk their claims and give us a look at the real face of the Scientology scam!
$cientology is a monster. At least the tobacco companies won't try to kill you after you quit smoking.
That's one of the dumbest commercials I've seen in a long time. The sad thing is, if millions of people see it, its bound to work on some of em. Probably there plan though: reach 100 million people and get .0001% to going.
