Long and Wiggly Fingers Fire Fox Journalist?

So an ex-Fox journalist is suing Fox for wrongful dismissal. Yep, apparently Fox fired him after some [alleged] pressure from the Church of Scientology. Turns out the Church [sic] grew a little tired of the journalist's snipping and bitchin' so they decided to bring it. All it took was a little whisper in Rupert's ear and boom!, the journalist was out of there by lunchtime after ten years on the force.

I dunno dudes, I really have to wonder how long and wiggly the Church of Scientology's fingers are in matters like this. Sometimes things are so sensational that it must be bollocks. Really, a journalist working for Fox pissed them off so much they had him liquidated ... er, fired?

Mind you, I was shelving some books in Self Improvement the other day and one of the books happened to be Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard. As I filed it correctly [might want to watch how that's done Barnes & Noble customers] I had barely muttered under my breath, "What a load of cobblers", when out of nowhere a Scientologist leapt at me all ninja style and punched me on the cock.

"No one expects a Scientologist leaping out of nowhere and punching you on the cock," he cried while standing over my crumpled form. "Now don't you ever say that about Dianetics again or it'll be a double-dose of cock poundage for you."

All I could do was weep like a little girl and wait for the swelling to go down while promising never to engage in sarcastic bastardry again. That was a lesson well learnt, people.
