Is it wrong to use young children to make fun of Scientology?

I was reading a Facebook posting from a former boss and friend I haven't seen in many years, who's into theater, referring to a review of a musical called "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson". That review in turn referred to another musical, "A Very Merry Unauthorized Children�s Scientology Pageant", described thus: "...set a religion's tenets to songs performed by a preadolescent cast".

Googling the title quickly yielded YouTube video. Ah, the strange place the twists and turns of the Intertubes will take you.

Is it wrong to use young children to make fun of Scientology? Perhaps. But it's also awfully damned funny. :evilgrin:

4. Nah, it is wrong for Christians to do it though (for obvious reasons).

5. It's probably wrong to use children to make fun of just about anything.

But that doesn't stop it from being funny. Especially when what they're doing is reading transcripts from a pundit-show and giggling at the stupidity even they can see. The Daily Show did a very short lived thing where they showed kids reading pundit scripts. It was so funny I almost cried from laughing, but I'm having trouble finding it now...

You wanna see wrong, but funny, you should see the productions of kids reading Pulp Fiction. I'm laughing just thinking about it...

7. I don't know how much editing is involved...

...but wrong doesn't even begin to describe that Will Ferrell video on Funny Or Die with the drunk baby landlady demanding the rent.

And yet it may be the funniest comedy bit I've ever seen on the internet.

8. They should be old enough to understand what an Enemy's List is

before they're added to it.

9. Religion is so silly.

What's sad is that, 2000 years from now, Scientology could very well be what replaces Christianity as the dominant religion in the West.

Then we'll all be taking Xenu's name in vain.
