After the EpicNoseGuy situation, wherein a 15-year-old London boy was threatened with a court summons if he didn’t remove a sign calling Scientology a cult, I posted on Enturbulation that if “cult” is unacceptible in the UK, simply spell it out as “cu*t”.  It got some laughs, and someone named “Scientology is a cult” on alt.religion.scientology even changed their name to “Scientology is a cu*t”.

Then I find out about this.

There’s been another development in what’s becoming a long-running dispute between anti-Scientology protesters and British police, as a 57-year-old man was charged with breach of the peace for displaying a sign that read “Stupid Cu*t” and “Greedy Cu*t” during a protest in Edinburgh at the weekend.

This has bad, good, and great written all over it.  The bad part is that someone was arrested without warning for a fucking sign, regardless of content.  Especially since this one happened to be factual.

The good part is that this arrest caused the news to spread that Scientology is indeed a stupid and greedy cult.  It was published and people across Scotland read the news, generating a sour taste towards the authoritarian cult and their attack poodles in the Edinburgh police.

The great part?  I trolled someone from across the ocean into getting arrested.  I’m kinda proud about that one.
