Mel Gibson Is Fucking Crazy

I'm sure you read about Mel Gibson's career suicide over the weekend. Who knew Mad Max was so nuts? Trey Parker and Matt Stone did! (YouTube.)

I'm not supposed to blog about people that don't relate to music, but did you know Mel executive produced that recent Leonard Cohen doc (duh, he did star in Bird On A Wire)? He also sang in some of his movies: Chicken Run, Passion Of The Christ (really), and most notably, Pocohontas. His "If I Never Knew You" didn't sit well with Disney test audiences and was left on the cutting room floor. (Jon Secada and Shanice performed it instead.). But Gibson's version can be heard on last year's tenth-anniversary DVD:

And if you hated that, you'll love his drunken performance at a Cubs game in June of 2000.

The only way I could be enjoying this more is if he were a Scientologist.

What, crazy anti-Semitic Catholic splinter group that rejects Vatican II isn't good enough for you? I'd say it's better than $cientology, 'cause he's a nutjob for the sake of being a nutjob, instead of just being on the pointy end of a pyramid scheme.

check out what good ol perezhilton had to say

P.S. For those that don't know the back story, Gibson's father is a white supremacist Nazi. And, he himself has been accused of hatred in the past. This cements it. Down with this fucker!!!!

wow, me thinks his career maybe over?!?!

Ahh, our young Mr. Gibbo has finally, completely and publically shot his bolt, letting the world know that the apple indeed doesn't fall far from the batshit-crazy tree.

I knew he was off the charts ever since he made the comment that his wife is going to hell for being -- OH NO! -- Episcopalian instead of Catholic.

OMG.. Mel Gibson was the blond dude in Pocohontas? That's why he's always sounded so familiar.

Guess Mel missed the part of the movie he executive produced on Leonard Cohen where it says Leonard is Jewish. It must be those lyrics from "Suzanne" that confused him:

"And Jesus was a sailor / when he walked upon the water / and he spent a long time watching / from his lonely wooden tower"

scott, i love you as a fan and - i would like to think- a fan. believe me when I say Disney is THE - repeat-THE most psychotically old-media, anti-piracy corporation known to man. They sued this lady in 1988 for doing an off-color play about Snow White - a character created by the Brothers Grimm, not Disney. so by you posting this youtube, Disney will sic (sic) its dogs (Pluto and Goofy[groan]) on you and Mel Gibson will throttle your neck and make you the star of a new reality show called "Who is the Next Messiah?"

Just sayin'.

Pssst Jesus was born to jewish parents but he wasn't a jew.
If Jesus was a jew then he believed that he wasn't the son of God.

Rumor is, he asked Sarah Silverman to lick jelly off of his dick and she forcefully declined so as such he hates Jews.

I am Totally agree with Mel Gibson!! It has nothing to do with anti-semitism!!

Whatever he said is 100% Nothing but TRUTH!! I will add that Stateless Naked Jews should take care of themselves and leave us out of their sordid mess they have created with their neighbours!!

Jews were supposed to be grateful towards the people who offered them refuge, instead they turned violent against the indigenous native people of Middle East and now they want us to believe that they are "victims!

The jews are trying to crucify Mel Gibson
just like they crucified Jesus Christ.
All Mel Gibson did was tell the truth.
God Damn Jews.

Mel Gibson and his father are an embarrassment to the human race. I would rather associate myself with more educated people.

They say drunkards speak the truth.... even if the truth is not neccisarily what most want to hear, or socially accepted. Perhaps we could just let this incident pass with the factor that HE WAS FRICKIN' DRUNK but it just goes to show how problems exist even within the world power that is the United States.
