In a full page ad in Thursday's Variety, an entertainment industry trade paper, the actor says, "I, Rob Schneider, a 1/2 Jew, pledge from this day forward to never work with Mel Gibson, actor-director-producer and anti-Semite."
Comedic actor Rob Schneider denounced fellow actor Mel Gibson in a letter, saying that he would never work with the Academy Award winner.
"I, Rob Schneider, a 1/2 Jew, pledge from this day forward to never work with Mel Gibson, actor-director-producer and anti-Semite," said the letter, which bore Schneider's signature.
The declaration was published as a full page ad in Thursday's Variety, an entertainment industry trade paper, E! Online reported Friday.
The untold joke of the letter is that Schneider and Gibson have never worked together before, with Schneider making comedies like 'Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo' and Gibson making epics like 'Braveheart,' and 'The Passion of the Christ.'
Still, Schneider stopped any chance of collaboration with Gibson who reputedly railed against Jews during a drunken driving arrest July 28 in California.
Isn't he the "making copies" guy?
That ought to guarantee Gibson's return to stardom
So? This is news? Who cares?
Wow, what a major set back this will be for Gibson!

I, Rob Schneider demand that someone take me seriously.......please.
Yes.
This is akin to Michael Moore saying he will never appear on stage with Ann Coulter
About par for Schneider - a lame attempt at being funny that falls just a little bit short of target.
I wonder how many actors come out against Babs for making a fool out of herself?
I thought this was going to hurt Mel's career not help it. I guess every cloud does have a silver lining.
Which time?
"I, Rob Schneider, a 1/2 Jew, knowing that any publicity is good publicity ..."
I guess Mel needn't audition for "Deuce Bigolo 3."
Half Jew - all asshole
What is a 1/2 Jew? Are these the Reformed Jews, also known as 'Jewish Light'?
Gibson would never work with him! LOL
way to seize the moment, Rob.
