In Orlando, 100 or so gathered outside the Scientology Center, holding signs that read "Knowledge is Free" and "Honk if you hate Scientology." Across the pond, some half-a-dozen protesters handed out "Scientology Sucks" pamphlets to Saturday shoppers in Manchester, England.
Across the country, UC Santa Barbara students took a break from the bong and tanning bed to protest the cult/religion as well. Protesters wore masks to bring a focus on their message (and protect their identity from the Thetans) and also held up signs with the trusty "Honk if you hate Scientology" slogan. The UCSB protest was created by a first-year physics major on Facebook. After the jump, some of the most amusingly named anti-Scientology groups online.
