NERVOUS TV bosses have axed an episode of South Park which OUTS a fictional Tom Cruise character as gay — because they are scared the real actor will SUE.
[...]
The episode is entirely fictional and there is no suggestion that the events are true.
It was shown in America last year but Cruise, 43, is believed to have threatened legal action if it is shown again.

Fred sez, "The UK trade association for independent film and TV producers is proposing that Ofcom [Britain's telecoms reguloator] levy a tax on digital personal video recorders like TiVo."
