Did I just crack the secret code?

Kris just told me that Tom Cruise is on the Today show talkin' smack about Brooke and psychiatry. I made some off-hand comment about his whole life being a sham, and then it occurred to me - remember back in 1938 when Orson Welles first broadcast War of the Worlds on the radio without telling the audience it wasn't real?

1938:

2005:

(Wow, that 2005 movie looks so much more exciting than the original book written by H G Wells! Oh, wait, no it doesn't.)

Does that not explain Tom's ridiculously bizarre life right now? He's trying to promote the movie by sending the public into a panic over his behavior. We are being invaded by martian Tom! But, it's just a publicity stunt. When he's done publicizing this movie he'll return to his regular bizarre underworld, only in the periphery of the public eye.

Did I get it right, Tom? Did I figure out your secret? Could you go away now, and let Katie go back to living her quiet life where nobody knows her name? Thanks, big guy!
