Remember that whole South Park, Tom Cruise controversy? Both are back, as South Park just presented a wild episode where there is a rape scene linked to the fourth Indiana Jones sequel that aired this summer. While Tom Cruise gets a pass from the boys at South Park, Lauren Bacall must think she should pick up the slack as Bacall dubs Cruise 'a maniac.'

South Park Skips Tom Cruise to Attack Jones

Nikki Finke of Deadline Hollywood Daily has an interesting insider's look at this thin online with lots of comments and writes, " I've learned Paramount's top execs missed last night's South Park episode viciously spoofing Steven Spielberg and George Lucas for "raping" Indiana Jones in this summer's fourquel."

She adds, "My info is that Paramount will look into this on Friday with parent company Viacom which produces the savage adult toon. Remember how Tom Cruise was upset with Viacom for South Park's airing of the infamous "Trapped in the Closet" episode? I can't begin to imagine what Brad Grey and Rob Moore, and Spielberg and Lucas, will say to Viacom."

See more from Finke here and she adds, " the DVD of Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull comes out in just days. And Paramount confirmed to me this week that an Indiana Jones 5 is a very, very real possibility and Lucas has already begun development on it."
