Narconon of Northern California is asking around trying to get free advertising services. The email below is a sample of one of their solicitations:

Unfortunately for Narconon, the first reaction of people who receive such solicitations is to go to Google to check out the group. And we know where THAT leads. Bwahahahaha!

No wonder Scientology hates the Internet (and prefers billboards).
