A celebrity Scientology flip book on the Web

Franklin Avenue’s Michael Schneider tips us off to a truly bizarre feature buried in NBC 4’s website: an image gallery of celebrity scientologists.

With absolutely no context or explanation, NBC4.tv gives us 32 famous Scientologists in alphabetical order. “But wait!” those of you who followed the link are already thinking. “The website says there are 49 pictures.”

That’s right, but starting at number 33, and once again without any explanation, the gallery goes from “Scientologist John Travolta, actor” to “Former Scientologist Mikhail Baryshnikov, ballet dancer.”
