The Passion of the Drunk
Sunday, July 30, 2006
You can't make this stuff up; read all about Mel Gibson's drunken, anti-semetic tirade here.(Thanks SLT for post heading.)
I don't mean to go all Jew on you. I just think this is hysterically funny. I used to really like Mel Gibson. I mean, Lethal Weapon? Come on! Great movie! I'd like to also reference Mad Max, except I'd be lying if I said I'd seen the Mad Max films, but hey, I hear they're great too. I even liked him in the M. Night Shyamalan movie where he wore the tin foil hat.
But he lost me with the Passion of the Christ, a film predicated on the premise that one should take the bible literally. Even occasional readers of APW know how we feel about that (Annie provides this quote, from a sign out front of a church local to her: "We take the bible seriously, not literally.")
I guess the moral here is twofold: (1) stupid is as stupid does; and (2) Actors should not be allowed to speak their own words.

Yeah, Mel Gibson lost me at Passion too. I had no idea he was such a fundamentalist.
Did you notice how many of the comments following this news story supported Mel? And so many of them with the same awful tag: "The Jews start all the wars." I wanted to count them up and figure the prcentage, but I was too nauseated.
