America still loves Mel Gibson
09.01.10Many people were quick to pronounce Mel Gibson’s career dead in the wake of pack-of-n*ggers-gate. Leonardo DiCaprio left his Viking project, he got dropped by his agent; but it turns out, the American public is far more forgiving. That’s right, Mel may once again be poised to rise from the ashes of his own career like a phoenix, and then angrily berate those ashes for being so fiery and Latin, like some kind of wetback.
In a “60 Minutes”/Vanity Fair poll released Monday, more than three-quarters of Americans said they would not be affected by audiotapes of phone calls, widely reported to be Gibson ranting at his estranged ex-girlfriend, when deciding whether to see one of the Oscar winner’s films. Asked if they were less likely to buy a ticket for a Gibson movie after hearing the tapes, 76% of Americans — including 80% of men and 72% of women — picked “No, no effect,” in the poll by magazine Vanity Fair and television news program “60 Minutes.” [THR]
What this poll indicates is that we already accept the fact that most of our actors are going to be half-retarded mental cases, just like we assume the neighborhood tattoo artist didn’t study French literature at Sarah Lawrence. At least this psycho made Lethal Weapon and Braveheart. Those tapes were just Mel being Mel! We could never turn our backs on crazy uncle Mel. I love that race-baiting woman hater like a Jew loves starting wars.


Oh sure, but worship one alien as god and people stop going to your movies. Hypocrites!!!
And why wouldn’t we? We’ve already forgiven Rihanna for making us so angry and forcing us to hit her.
But America still can’t forgive Kelly McGillis for asking for it.
/needs absolution
Poll Question 6:
Prior to being buried in Mel Gibson’s rose garden, you will
a)blow him first
b)all of the above
I’m disappointed this trend hasn’t ensnared other celebs.
*beeeeep*
Hey girl, you look like the cat’s pajamas, and if you get snuggled by a gaggle of Goslings, it will be your fault.
To really test the patience of American audiences I propose a movie about the Prophet Mohammed trying to defeat a homosexual black-skinned pedophile Jesus. Mel Gibson will play Mohammed, it will be directed by Woody Allen and Roman Polanski will play Allah.
The poll didn’t account for the 2% of women who said they now would be more likely to go to a Mel Gibson movie with a vibrator and a noose.
But WHY exactly? Why does Mel get the Pass to End All Passes, and Michael Richards disappear off the face of the Earth? Is it the sheer Godzilla-sized balls of hating Jews, gays and titty enhancements, and still making it in Hollywood? Or is Mel more a Creature of Our Collective Ids? Does he just say what we dare only keep to ourselves?
And how exactly is Michael Richards putting out movies I haven’t been, nor will be, going to? Does UHF count?
@GG -
It could be talent related. Richards may have been a star in Seinfeld, but he hasn’t done anything good since UHF.
Well, played, Fek. I knew I shouldn’t have wasted my time formatting.
Anyone remember what poor old Rob Lowe had to endure 20-odd years ago? Taped himself having sex with two teenage girls – tho of legal age – and had to sit on the career naughty step for what were probably his prime money-making years. Different era? That shit only boosts your stock nowadays. He didn’t even piss on them, fer chrissakes! WTF is the POINT of being one of the top purty boys in H’wood if you can’t pork whoever you want?
My only hope is that when the audio tapes of me fighting with my girlfriend come out, America will forgive me as well…
for caving like a pussy 2 minutes into the argument.
@chareth: did you just bust out something from fuckyeahryangosling.com? anytime i hear a smooth “hey girl…” i know the goz is behind it.
I will likely go see a Mel Gibson movie if it appeals to my personal aesthetics and values and seems to convey a positive message that can be utilized as a springboard for my own growth and development. But I will blow him first.
I get the feeling I’m doing this wrong.
Reminds me I still have to see Edge of Darkness, why isn’t that on HBO or SHO yet? Want that edge of darkness to fastly creep up on you? Dress like a pig in heat
GG-A fella named “Raw Blow” shouldn’t get squeamish when Lou Pearlman comes a waddlin’, gnome sane?
Greta, I’m willing to overlook the ravings of an actor/director who is obviously 10 kinds of crazy if he makes good movies.
Does he just say what we dare only keep to ourselves?

There’s just something inherently cool about a Jew riding a motorcycle.
I would never, in a million years, forgive Mel Gibson for what he said on those tapes. I would thank him.
True story: we recently got cleared to quietly play the radio in the office. Hip To Be Square just came on! *grabs axe*

The Albanian people are of high moral character, and would never stoop to sleeping with their livestock.
Jew riding a motorcycle < Jew with stupid looking fake tits.
99% of scheming Jews, dirty wetbacks, bitches in heat, and raping packs of n*ggers were not included in that poll.
75% of my
pollpole was blown first. Her cracked teeth prevented the other 2 inches.
