Good news!  Comedy Central has finally declared that it’s okay to make fun of Tom Cruise!

Variety has reported that the cable network will re-air the controversial South Park episode “Trapped in the Closet” on July 19.  The Emmy-nominated episode, which skewers Tom Cruise and Scientology, originally aired in November 2005, but was pulled from the network’s repeat rotation back in May. 

Apparently, creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have been very unhappy with the network, and the choice to re-air the episode may help to alleviate the situation.  Stone stated, “If they hadn’t put this episode back on the air, we’d have had serious issues, and we wouldn’t be doing anything else with them.”  I’m sure the network didn’t want to alienate the creators of one of their most popular shows, especially after the debacle with Dave Chappelle.

Now, if only the show could convince Isaac Hayes not to be so offended by the episode, we’d be all set.
