I once read an article about base jumping, where a local sheriff in Australia was quoted saying he got around five phone calls a day from alarmed tourists concerning people jumping to their deaths from a highway bridge. He, in turn, would always ask: "Did they have backpacks on?" and that usually resolved the issue.
South Park did an episode on Scientology, that demi-religion thing Tom Cruise is into. It struck a nerve apparently, 'cause Cruise threatened with legal action and the episode was pulled from Comedy Central's regular schedule. Luckily for us though, the internet comes once again to our aid.
