Just in case you needed any more convincing that Scientology is creepy, crazy, nutty, and a little scary – an enterprising type has put an entire 10-part Scientology orientation video on YouTube.

This is my favorite so far, in which we hear how L. Ron Hubbard used his newly-found skills at Dianetics to foil the government’s mind control tactics.

Grab em fast before the jack booted lawyers from the Cult of Xenu raid the YouTube offices.

This all, of course, raises the interesting dynamic that the web – starting with blogs and text, now spreading to widely available means of publishing rich content, is a tremendous threat to closed organizations like Scientology. Long famous for their intimidation and scare tactics – towards everything from Google to Governments – that genie is slowly getting out of the bottle. Or more precisely – it’s once again out of the bottle, and no court will be able to wedge it back in.

UPDATE: Well, that didn’t take long. The creepy nutjob fanatics at the L. Ron Hubbard Memorial Insane Asylum have laid the hammer on YouTube. Never fear – they’ll be back sometime soon.
