So, yeah... shit's really starting to fly, eh?

I've been ignoring all of this since the start, bad idea I guess. I didn't know it wasn't just 4chan's doing.

Juno, you willing to explain it a little, or someone?

The links I gave in the OP should be pretty useful for learning more about Project Chanology. Here's a quote from the Wikipedia article that works nicely as a summary:

Project Chanology is an Internet-based protest against the controversial Church of Scientology by the Internet group Anonymous. Project Chanology also refers to a website of the same name, used by the group to chronicle ongoing and planned actions by Anonymous, who state they are "everyone and everywhere", with "no leaders". The project was started in response to the Church of Scientology's attempts to remove material from an exclusive promotional interview with Scientologist Tom Cruise from the Internet in January 2008.

The project was publicly launched in the form of a video posted to YouTube, "Message to Scientology", on January 21, 2008. The video states that Anonymous views Scientology's actions as internet censorship, and stated the group's intent to "expel the church from the internet". This was followed by distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS attacks), and soon after, black faxes, prank calls, nonviolent protests, and other measures intended to disrupt the Church of Scientology's operations.

Reactions from the Church of Scientology regarding the group's actions have varied. One spokesperson stated that members of the group "have got some wrong information" about Scientology. Another referred to the group as a "pathetic" group of "computer geeks." Some detractors of Scientology have criticized the actions of Project Chanology, asserting that they merely provide the Church of Scientology with the opportunity to "play the religious persecution card." Other critics of Project Chanology's actions questioned the legality of their methods.

If this is a joke, then it's pretty funny.

If this is real, then it's pretty sad.

It's real and it's no joke and isn't sad.

Why the hell do they call it scientology when it hasn't a thing to do with science what so ever, disgusts me.
