CRUISE BANS TV AND COMPUTER GAMES

TOM CRUISE is strict when it comes to raising his two eldest children - barring them from watching TV and playing computer games. The star's adopted children with former wife NICOLE KIDMAN - ISABELLA, 13, and CONNOR, 11 - are also expected to help out around the house. The kids, who are home-schooled by tutors from the Church of Scientology, are also encouraged to spend time outdoors. He explains, "The kids have no computer games. And absolutely no television. None. "They can listen to music and read just about any book they want, and they can choose the movies they want to see on the weekends, within reason. "They also have chores, because I want them to know that it's important to work. I had a job when I was eight years old delivering newspapers. "So for me, it's like: You want a clean room? Then you've got to clean your room. No one is going to do it for you."

So any movies within reason are OK? Preferably starring Tom Cruise (worlds biggest wanker). Wonder if he cleans his own room ?
God I wish Tom Cruise would ride his ducati into a wall. Oh no, the poor ducati.

It is good that they have chores, I think that's important. I agree though, he is still a wanker!

I agree chores are good... but the rest of what he says....ugh, he frustrates me.

I also agree with the chores- but he is still a wanker!

Hey Tom Cruise; I dont give a fuck about you, or how you raise your kids. How about that!

No Tv and no video games? Gee, just another reason why it would suck to be his kid.

Well if I had that much money, my kids wouldn't need video games or tv. We would be buying the best fun that money could possibly buy. Trips to places, seeing new things, amusement parks galore, learning about their country the RIGHT way by actually getting on the road and driving through it. Yeah. I guess all the wrong people get all the money. STupid midget.

Of course they're banned. They might just hear about the cult they've been sucked into and Thetan Tom can't have that happen, can he?

That's exactly what I was thinking. He has to ban television because otherwise they would see what an ass their dad is and see how much of a joke $cientology really is.

But I do have to admit the chores thing is good--if it's true. I'm sure they aren't cleaning their room, just picking it up. I doubt they get out the vaccuum or mop.

Who needs a TV with all the streaming stuff on the internet?

Bellatheball · May 19th, 2006, 10:29 AM

Ah yes, but the Internet is off limits to $cientologists too.

Barbara · May 19th, 2006, 10:32 AM

Really?

sluce · May 19th, 2006, 10:48 AM

THey aren't supposed to get the info about Xenu and thetan stuff until they're an OT3 or something. They could easily found out about all of it with an internet access.

It will most likely be more than just normal household chores for the kids too. When Tom said earlier that his older kids would be "working in shifts" to care for the baby, he wasn't being cute. $cientologist kids are put to work. They are regarded as inexperienced adults and are expected to pull their weight. Some paper in Florida did an investigation a few years back and found that kids were working 40-50 hour weeks. Co$ denied it of course.
