A new day and Mel is still screwed
So this Mel Gibson shitstorm keeps getting bigger and bigger and a lot of people are starting to wonder if his appologies are sincere:
Mel Gibson’s Tuesday apology for an anti-Semitic rant after his drunken driving arrest came several days too late, celebrity crisis management experts say.
It was the star’s first acknowledgment that he spewed anti-Jewish slurs at Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff James Mee early Friday — a tirade that could threaten his career and the December release of his film “Apocalypto,” in which he and Disney invested tens of millions of dollars. […]
The cloud of anti-Semitism has followed Gibson since the 2004 film “The Passion of the Christ,” which many Jews felt unfairly portrayed Jews’ role in the death of Jesus. The issue intensified after interviews with Gibson’s father, who called the Holocaust mostly “fiction.”
Levick said that while the film became a blockbuster despite the controversy — or because of it — this is Gibson’s last chance to prove he isn’t a bigot.
All I gotta say is this: “A drunk man’s words are a sober man’s thoughts.” Yes, that’s a famous proverb.
