On the heels of the recent "Going Clear" documentary . . .

Is this hilarious/at least a little funny Saturday Night Live spoof of Scientology ads of the 1990s:

Better still is the actual ad on which the spoof is based.

And for the hat trick, a link to petitions.whitehouse.gov asking that the "Church" of Scientology have its (completely unjustified) tax exempt status reversed:
