A bunch of children singing carols about Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard sounds like the recipe for an episode of South Park. But it's actually a live performance of A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant — a deadpan satire of the controversial organization — created by avant-garde theatre company Les Freres Corbusier. One tune brings alien overlord Xenu to life, and a puppet show explains the infamous E-meter. Here's hoping it doesn't take long for a miniature Tom Cruise to pop up in the neon-colored nativity scene.
