first Tom, now Mel..
First Tom goes all whacko on TV, now Mel decides to take a swipe at Jews. Something in the hugely-overpriced water?

"On the Anti-Defamation League's website, national director Abraham Foxman said the statement released by Mr Gibson did not constitute "a proper apology"."
In a statement on Saturday, Mr Gibson said: "I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. "I am deeply ashamed of everything I said and I apologize to anyone who I have offended." He added: "I have battled the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse." Fukc the Anti-Defamation League. Sounds like Mel apologized just fine. |

That really surprised me. What an idiot. I thought Mel was a deeply religious very traditional catholic. How does he reconcile such bigotry with his faith?

What did he actually say? What was his blood/alcohol content? What led to his drinking binge that evening?

I wouldn't accept that apology either. It's not an apology, it's a PR offensive ahead of the really bad stuff about to come out.

From today's NY Sun:
Orthodox rabbi, Daniel Lapin on Mr. Gibson, whom he considers a friend: "While it's certainly true that alcohol betrays inner thoughts, those inner thoughts are not for any human being to criticize, " Rabbi Lapin said. "Only God should criticize our thoughts, and I don't know of anyone who doesn't harbor unworthy thoughts. My experience with Mel Gibson is that he's always been upright and honest and good with all his Jewish friends. In Judaism, we judge people by their actions — not what we think their thoughts are." |

I say stupid stuff when I'm buzzed too ... just not "Fcuking Jews! Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Nor have I ever asked a cop, "Are you a Jew?"
And that's apparently the SANITIZED version. Sorry, that's not "stupid" in my book. That's an evil mind unleashed by drink.

I can see it now: "South Park, the Mel Edition, Vol. II).
When are these jerks going to rise above the "double standard" and actually get "OWNED" instead of saying what & who THEY own?

I could see one of my friends saying something like this after hearing an off-color joke (and I'm thinking of my friends from the Deerfield/Highland Park area  ).

I don't think it was meant to be funny.
To each his own. That's not a man that I would want to associate with, drunk or sober.

I didn't think that exchange was particularly funny either.
Go figure.

That is because you said something stupid and were made sport of due to your faux pas(That is French for "bonehead play") People don't appreciate being made fun of, well most people anyway
So how is it that is not an apology again? Think about it

Mel wouldn't want to hang with me ... hahaha.
Unoriginal and unfunny. Mr. Wilson is mostly too nasty for my tastes anyway, but that one was just dull. Eye of the beholder I guess.
