Yo people,
Cruise is a moron, and he's doing illegal stuff. Legion, I totally agree with you. This is a whack at the foundations of America, Freedom of Speech people! I say we give Cruise and Viacom hell!

[...] First, it is alleged that Tom Cruise and Scientology are blackmailing Comedy Central over a controversial episode of “South Park” making fun of the cult. Now, Roger Friedman has an odd piece at Fox News alleging that, contrary to last week’s reports that Isaac Hayes had quit South Park because they made fun of Scientology, in fact “someone quit it for him.” Further, “Hayes is in no position to have quit anything. Contrary to news reports, the great writer, singer and musician suffered a stroke on Jan. 17.” [...]

South Park: kiss-off Viacom!...

When South Park's the Trapped in the Closet first aired, Findlaw wondered would Tom Cruise win if he sued? And would it be smart? This week we learned he didn't have to: Tom Cruise reportedly got Comedy Central to cancel......

JJ quoting Andy, about half a TomKat, getting twisted undies over a cartoon, that Shaft left. Ah, the modern world. Is it beer-thirty yet?

If South Park trashes Tom's religion why can't Tom strike back???

Ummm... isn't Cruise in some way contractually obligated to promote the movie?

If he's not, then Paramount is a bunch of idiots for hanging promotion for a 9-figure blockbuster on a tempermental (and possibly mental) actor's good graces. If he is, then Paramount just gave him and every other actor with a political bone to pick implicit power to hold the studio for ransom, and Paramount is still a bunch of idiots.

Or did I just answer my own question?
