Tom Cruise to Eat Placenta

[boutons_]

Sure it's cannibalism. Eating (organs from) your own species.

TC is getting as nutty as Wacko Jacko.

TC has always impressed me a amazingly dumb in interviews, a dumbness that exceeds his smile, self-confidence, and charisma, and now he's gone nuts with the nutters from Scientology.

I wish I would have known this 3 weekends ago when my cat miscarried a litter of kittens all over my patio. There was more than enough placenta to go around for a GTG at my house.

Ewwwwwwwwwwww!!!

Anyways, I'm ashamed that I was ever a Tom Cruise fan at one point. Even if this particular story isn't true, he's done a lot of other things this past year that warrants him being a little off. If he's doing it for "publicity" as someone else stated, well I don't understand why. He's Tom Cruise. He's an established actor known around the world already. He doesnt need this kind of publicity.

Well if he's not going to eat the placenta I can only assumes that means he's going to eat the child instead. Dude's insane.

[ploto]

He acts like he went off his medication, whatever it was.

It disgusts me to hear some man act like an expert on childbirth, post-partum depression, etc... If God didn't want noise when a baby was born, he would have given us zippers.

Thanks for the link!

I don't care how weird he is, I will still go see MI3!

I concur.

mmmmm...I hear that placenta tastes like boogers!

[atxrocker]

tom cruise is a goddamn nut job. all that ing money really got to his head. what a shame.

[ShoogarBear]

Cruise has always been a nut job. Look at his track record. It's just that he fired the publicist who had done an incredible job for years protecting him from himself, and replaced him/her(?) with his sister, who is another Scientologist fruitcake. That when we started to get to see Tom be Tom.

I saw a do entary or something with a segment on this a few years back. It was in the UK somewhere, and they froze the placenta after the baby was born. Then, after a few days to let the mom recover, they fried it up and made a pate out of it. They served it with crackers and invited people over to eat with them. Most people seemed unphased and even complemented how it tasted.

There were a few who refused to try it, instead eating the other non-placenta food. The baby was the centerpiece of the celebration and it seemed like any other gathering I guess. I guess my mind still can't wrap itself around someone eating anything that came from my uterus, but to each their own.

You know, I'll eat a lot of things that many people don't like, and I'll always try something once, but I have to draw the line at placentas....

Cruise was only kidding

http://www.canada.com/topics/enterta...616149&k=67596

The Web is buzzing with the shocking “news” that Tom Cruise plans to eat the placenta after his girlfriend Katie Holmes gives birth.

Cruise’s comment – a joke he made during an interview with GQ – is being taken out of context and reported as legitimate news. Some sites are going so far as to quote medical experts on the topic of placenta-eating.

Cruise, 43, told GQ: "I'm gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there." When it was pointed out that it would be a big meal, Cruise replied: "OK, maybe I won't."

But most sites aren’t making note of the fact that Cruise was kidding.

“Tom Cruise is reportedly planning to eat the placenta and umbilical cord after fiancée Katie Holmes gives birth to their child,” reports mtv.uk.

iAfrica.com declares: “Tom Cruise is intending to eat Katie Holmes' placenta after his fiancée has given birth to their baby.”

“Hollywood actor and Scientologist Tom Cruise is planning to eat Katie Holmes' placenta,” reports Ireland’s rte.ie.

Britain’s itv.com says: "Sofa leaping father-to-be Tom Cruise has revealed his latest bizarre plan - to eat Katie Holmes' placenta.”

At least one online news source “gets” it. At the Info About News site, the placenta remark merits only a passing mention deep down in a story about Cruise.

“Oh, and he made a pretty nifty joke about eating the placenta,” reads the site. “Really, it was funny.”

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

This should really be a wake up call to Tom Cruise about how nuts the world believes he is. If some other celebrity like Brad Pitt or the like had made that joke, and people took it out of context and printed it like he was serious, people would stop and wonder for a second about the validity of it. But if it gets reported that it's Tom Cruise people think it's ed up but still entirely plausible that he would do it.

TC, like most $cientologist$, doesn't have both his oars in the water. I mean, c'mon, following a "religion" created out of whole cloth by a sci-fi author?

Yeah, you can argue about just about any religion, but this one takes the cake.

[SA210]

I still say he was robbed of the Oscar for Jerry Maguire.

1) Once a person is in Scientology, there's no getting out. Scientology collects sensitive information about its members for blackmail purposes. They also have means to litigate people into financial ruin. Failing either of those, they will resort to professional assassination to protect their inner workings.

If Tom Cruise left Scientology, they have the connections to end his career, bankrupt him, and destroy his reputation.

2) The celebrities bankroll Scientology. In order to advance to higher levels as an "Operating Thetan," members must go through expensive courses. The cost of the courses is relative to ability to pay. So, naturally, Scientology extorts its celebrity members.

So you can understand why Tom's a little wacky.

The only benefit for him is that non-celebrity members of Scientology end up as virtual slaves performing menial tasks for him and the other famous members.

So, basically, avoid that cult at all costs unless you want your life ruined.

[Summers]

Cruise said his sex life with Batman Begins star Katie had made him realise one-night stands were "horrible".

He added: "Great sex is a by-product for me of a great relationship, where you have communication. It's an extension of that. If you're not in good communication with your partner, it sucks."

I think it's creepy how he's acting like a smitten 20-year-old instead of a middle-aged divorced man with 2 kids. It's like he's forgotten he was married to Nicole for 10 years.

[Ocotillo]

Travolta, Kirstie Alley and L. Ron Hubbard all called Tom, they want you to take some time off.

[T Park]

This Scientology has gotten to be way too in nuts....

I remember seeing that! It was on one of HBO's "Real Sex" series.

Interesting stuff

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placento y

Most placental mammals participate in placento y, including, surprisingly, herbivorous ones.

The most general benefit of placento y, according to recent research, is that placenta and amniotic fluid contain a molecule (POEF, Placental Opioid-Enhancing Factor) that modifies the activity of endogenous opioids in such a way that produces an enhancement of the natural reduction in pain that occurs shortly before and during delivery

Human placento y

Although the placenta is revered in many cultures, very few customarily eat the placenta after the newborn's birth. Those who advocate placento y in humans, mostly in modern America and Europe believe that eating the placenta prevents postpartum depression and other pregnancy complications. Human placenta tastes very similar to beef, with a springy texture similar to the heart. A variety of recipes are known to exist for preparing placenta for eating

They already had the baby?

[HennyYoungman]

I think Tom may have just bitten off more than he could chew.

[spurs=bling]
