Profile

[Tom Cruise] is an American actor best known for his roles in Mission: Impossible, Jerry Maguire, and Top Gun. He is currently married to Katie Holmes and is a strong supporter of Scientology.

Tom Cruise rose to popularity on ytmnd with a site called "Tom Cruise Kills Oprah", a parody on an episode of Oprah where Tom Cruise jumps on the couch and pleads his love to actress Katie Holmes. The parody depicts Cruise as a sith lord from Star Wars, using lightning to shock and "kill" Oprah. The soundfile used an excerpt from the song "Duel of the Fates" from Star Wars: Episode III. The site was linked nationally to CNN.com, and received more than a million views. Eventually, Tom Cruise Kills Oprah has made its way to the Hall of Fame.

When lawyers on behalf of the religion Scientology sued YTMND for copyright infringement, the fad had a late installment in a mock-effort to appease the scientologists (http://tcdko.ytmnd.com/).

Because of the first site, Tom Cruise sites are very common, and some may spur fads. Some other popular Tom Cruise fads
