"Gibson's no-longer-deniable brand of bigotry has led to the extermination of millions -- and continues to fuel much of the strife and suffering in the world today."
No.. actually it's trash like this piece that fuels hate and gets people killed.
I agree - Hollywood is defined by dingbats.
According to ABCNEWS, this project was cancelled last night.
Jeez...these talk show people kill me. COmparing this to Streisand and SDixie Chicks. It's not like Mel did that on purpose in a public forum to make a national statement. He did not PLAN to state his personal views to the world...unlike the others. And he did apologize which doesn't make it right...but the others do not...they want to try to influence. Mel is not.
And that is why this could prove to be a seminal moment in our cultural history.
Zsa Zsa Gaboring sizes up the cultural zeitgeist as well as she sizes up future husbands.
Damn, Arianna, take a pill!
Seems to me the hate Gibson crowd smells blood and is hoping to create a frenzy......
I see it as someone obviously too damned drunk and agitated saying things they won't remember a few hours later.....
Comparing a drunk tyrade be Mel to Hezbullah???? I dunno, $itfaced tyrades don't equate to intentional targeting of civilians.
I want to see what Mels BAL was... I think this is just overreaching by folks who don't like Gibson. For crying out loud, this is the same crown who keep saying give Downey Jr. one more chance....
He's apologized for it, he was likely $hitfaced when he did it... and if he had been anyone else in hollywood they'd be making excuses for him.
I dunno.. I see this as much ado about nothing.
Rahm Emanuel's (Cliniton butt boy) younger brother, Ari Emanuel, is a Hollywood agent and inspired Jeremy Piven's character Ari Gold on the HBO series Entourage.
Mel will be the latest victim of the Double Standard, which says that:
1. Christian, conservative, republican, white, male are held to this standard: Anything you say can and will be used against you if someone outside of this group claims to have been offended; you will be hounded until you resign (apologies are not good enough).
2. Anyone not in the above group has this standard: You can say or do anything against other people, especially those in the above group, and you will be automatically deemed to have done nothing wrong; your whining apology will be enough; there will be no outrage, no endless editorials, no denunciations. And you won't have to resign.
