Did Tom Cruise Threaten Over South Park Show?

Did Tom Cruise threaten to not do any publicity for the latest Mission Impossible movie if Comedy Central (owned by the same company as the movie is produced by) didn’t pull an episode of South Park that made fun of Scientology? Cruise’s reps deny the claim. Cruise “had nothing to do with any programming” they say. “At no time did Tom Cruise say he would not do publicity” for “M:I III.” “OK, but one problem: No one at Viacom has publicly offered a satisfactory explanation of why the repeat, scheduled for Wednesday night, was pulled.”
