Yeah, well, that was funny, but it wouldn't actually protect Trey and Matt from litigation. Scientology has demonstrated itself very willing to use the legal system as a tool against its detractors. That's what makes the joke at the end of the episode work.

I think coming right out and having the leader of Scientology say, "Don't you get it, kid? It's a scam! It's all a giant, global scam!" could easily be used as grounds for a libel suit (*cough*however true that may be*cough*).
