Scientology Is Advertising On UK Television And The Soundtrack Sounds Like Bad Enya

In what's potentially the strangest advert juxtaposition in the world, More4 has been throwing TV spots to Scientology during The Good Wife. Because, obviously, that's the kind of audience that would sign up to such a thing.

Hang on, so it's not a religion? Or is it? What does that even mean?

Sounds pretty religious-y to me. I hope that's not just one person working those hours for free.

Written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, and it has a 100% 5 Star rating on Amazon. Totally legit.
