John Dixon, a councillor in Wales, is facing a disciplinary hearing after $cientology bitched about a tweet Dixon made. The tweat read:
“I didn’t know the Scientologists had a church on Tottenham Court Road. Just hurried past in case the stupid rubs off.”
Then after Dixon learned $cientology began monitoring his Twitter account, he tweeted:
“Just realised the Scientologists are following me. Quick everyone, pretend you’re out.”
So now the cult is trying to get him fired.
Fortunately, a comedian has come to the rescue. Mark Thomas made a tweet of his own:
Anything that upsets scientology and therefore Tom Cruise is a good thing. #stupidscientology
It seems that once again, we’re seeing the Streisand effect, as Twitter users everywhere are expressing their dislike for $cientology using the hashtag #stupidscientology.
