Protestors throw lamb's blood on Mel Gibson

Mike Walker of the National Enquirer

This story has a very strange source.

I'm listening to the Howard Stern Show. Every Friday, Mike Walker, the national editor of the National Enquirer, comes on and they play The Gossip Game. Walker offers up four stories, with one of them being false and the other three true. The people on the show have to guess the fake story.

Anyway, I thought the following story had to be the fake one, because I couldn't imagine it wouldn't have gotten much more coverage, but I can't find anything else about it. But, according to Mike Walker, it is a true story.

Apparently, Mel Gibson was leaving a television studio where he had just done an interview about "The Passion of The Christ." Outside, he saw a large group of people protesting his presence.

Gibson walked over and attempted to talk to the protestors about the movie, when one of them threw a bucket of blood on him. It was later determined to be lamb's blood.

Even after he was covered in blood, he still attempted to have a discussion with them, but they were just interested in threatening him and screaming at him, so he eventually walked away.

Has anybody else heard about this incident?

I have my doubts about its truth. The Gibson movie is getting a lot of media coverage. I have trouble believing that something like that would be ignored by the media.

BUT...they have totally given up on telling the truth.

Why are you listening to Howard Stern?

Have you been washed in the blood of the Lamb yourself?

Because the show is funny and I'm over 18.

[Chris Talk]

There is a fountain, filled with blood,

Drawn from Immanuel's veins...

And sinners plunged, beneath that flood,

Lose all their guilty stains!

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

That is so true...

Best,

Ping!

Gaia be damned. Howard Stern is still pretty darn funny.

people are so afarid of anyone who holds a belief

[Rummyfan]

Whether or not this true.....

Hollywood - or the movie industry in general - produces the most dreadful dreck day in and day out, with nary a concern from anyone. But let someone make a movie about Jesus and all the usual suspects are up in arms. The hypocrisy is stunning!

[tallhappy]

Youd didn't answer my second question.

[dead]

Yes, I bath in lamb's blood once a week.

[Ronin]

I haven't heard it, and don't believe it, but if it is true, my admiration for Mel icreases.

[oyez]

The hypocrisy is stunning!

There is a lot of organized insecurity in the world, sort of like the kind if insecurity that got Christ crucified in the first place.

Wish I knew if there's a premiere in Austin. I've rooted around but can't find a premiere city listing.

About the weekly bath, a good rinse is goat's milk. Makes the skin supple.

You see, your ignorance has made it so you couldn't tell that this is an obvious joke.

You actually thought this may have happened.

Classy.

[dead]

Boy, you are weird.

It wasn't a joke. It was presented as an actual event. But I guess you know better, having (I assume) not listened to the broadcast.

The National Enquirer has a pretty decent record for accuracy in their gossip. We'll see if this turns out to be true or not.
