Mike Rinder would have been a great Third Reich spokesperson

If there’s one person out there in the public relations field who really creeps me out it’s this guy, Mike Rinder, who leads the “Church” of Scientology’s Office of Special Affairs, the department that handles much of the cult’s public image and persona.

Xenu gets some free auditing
