We were unable to catch the original posting of this clip on YouTube, as Scientology's crack squad of lawyers had gotten it pulled by the time we'd gotten word of it. (Catch a description of that here.) But now Defamer's got it (un-embed-ably, natch), and since we fully expect a mysterious D-o-S attack originating from Clearviewwater, FL to crash their servers, like, any minute now, you might want to get while the getting is good.
For what it's worth, we find that the video -- which is basically a sort of pro-Scientology rant / acceptance speech for the "Freedom Medal of Valor," an award that we assume has had its name translated into Japanese and back into English -- um, er... Where were we? So much to unpack here... Ah, the video, yes. Well, we find that it actually kind of humanizes Mr. Cruise. By which we mean: he seems more than ever like every crazy person we've encountered.
