Kneepads Magazine Goes The Distance
Tom Cruise must have promised Kneepads Magazine exclusives until he dies to get this kind of snowjob published. In this week's issue, all of Tom Cruise's celebrity friends contributed testimonials of how Tom is a great guy. Considering the list of celebrities that have come to Tom's aid, I'm guessing all these testimonials were provided to the magazine by Tom's people after being edited for brevity and love for Tom. Notice how not one. NOT ONE of these glowing testimonials refers to either Katie Holmes or Suri Cruise by name. Only Tom's name is ever mentioned.
Adam Sandler said, "To see anyone's private life invaded and mocked like this is sickening. It's especially gross when it happens to a guy like Cruise, who's a great dad, a great husband, and a great friend."
I would agree that if Tom was doing this in the privacy of his own home it would be sickening for us to mock him, but the fact is he makes his religion part of who he is in the public eye, and therefore it is not private and is subject to mockery.
Dustin Hoffman said, "Tom Cruise is an American and has the right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion."
Yes he does Dustin and so do we.
Dan Snyder, (Washington Redskins Owner) "Tom is a winner. That's a fact. He is a terrific actor, a terrific father and a terrific person. I'm proud to be his friend."
Of course Dan couldn't say anything less considering he has got a bunch of his money dependent on the success of Tom Cruise. Can't really call him a loser can he?
Ben Stiller said, "Imagine having a baby and people talking about it the way they did. People lose sight of the fact that Tom Cruise is actually a person. I feel for him."
Kind of like the way Tom talked about all of us in that video. Treated everyone who is a spectator really well didn't he?
Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, Jim Carrey, and producer Harvey Weinstein also contributed to this love fest for Tom. Not Kaite or Suri, just Tom. Really he is all that matters here. The rest of the family is just window dressing. They will be long gone while he is still trying to salvage a career.
