Hop on the "Mel Gibson's an Ass" Bandwagon!


Here, let me give you a hand. Just push that clarinet player over a bit. Welcome to the bandwagon! It's about time you realized Mel Gibson is an obnoxious, bigoted ass and unworthy of your entertainment dollar.

I've known that since 1992. Here's why (and I apologize that quoting Mel Gibson will result in the most profane language that has ever appeared in this blog):

In 1992, Gibson was interviewed by the Spanish newspaper, El Pais.
Asked about the stereotype that actors are usually gay, Gibson stood up, grasped his buttocks, and declared, "This is only for taking a shit...They [gays] take it up the ass." He then asserted his heterosexuality in a curiously defensive tone. "Do I look like a homosexual?" he demanded of the reporter. "Do I talk like them? Do I move like them?"
I may be the only guy you know who never saw Braveheart, The Man Without a Face, or What Women Want. I never saw the last two Lethal Weapon movies. Passion of the Christ? Need you even ask?

That's because, unlike this recent anti-Semitic incident, Gibson did not apologize, did not claim it was "the booze talking," and did not appeal to the gay community for help. He did not ask to meet with leaders of the gay community with whom he "can have a one-on-one discussion to discern the appropriate path for healing."

If this is the end of Mel Gibson's career, that's a good thing. That his blatant anti-gay remarks 14 years ago weren't enough to do the job is a real shame.

Well Marty, you're not alone. I, too, have never seen any of those movies either! The man has always been a pompous *ss and I've never cared for his attitude (and that's not even knowing what he said about gays -- cabron!). Thanks for the blogs!!!

Bearhugs babe,
Leonard :)
