It's not like he went on stage and said the most damning thing a celebrity could say, like he was ashamed the president was from his state. I can understand why the Dixie Chicks got boycotted. Mad Max only blamed a religion for the wars in the world. Can't see any repercussion for that. Ofcourse Michael Jackson has gotten off as many times in court as he has at his Cub Scout sleep overs, so maybe this to will blow over. However, I believe the old saying, a drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts.
Considering the Jewish faith spans the globe, his statements have effects that reach farther than the Dixie Chicks criticizing the President. Gibson's movies have to play worldwide in order make studios fat cash. The Dixie Chicks? Nobody really cares outside of this country if they criticize Bush.
I agree with your "drunk man's words" statement though. Alcohol is a great truth syrum.

In honor of Nick Nolte, who also was stopped on the PCH under the influence (of something else...), I have changed my profile pic.

I think boycotts are unproductive. I'm betting the Dixie Chicks actually made money from those boycotts. (Something about no publicity being worse than bad publicity.) Gibson is rich enough to make his own movies. People will boycott them. Then, he'll probably make more money. That's the way it seems to work in Hollywood.
Harlan, I'm not going to argue with you about a movie you didn't watch. I'm not a Jew. I didn't go in with pre-conceived ideas, and I didn't come away thinking the Jews were responsible for the death of Jesus. Maybe if you go in looking for something, you can find it. But as somebody that has no agenda and doesn't care about it really, I didn't come away thinking anything. After the fact, I read that people have said that the scene where the crowd was for crucifying him made Jews look bad. Well, if you didn't have in your head (which I didn't) that the crowd were all Jews, then there was nothing to it. In the same vain then, there were also Jews that supported him, and came up to him as he was being dragged and beaten by the Romans. If the one scene made some Jews look bad, then these scenes made some Jews look good. I think it's much ado about nothing. I could not care any less what some dude on the anti-defamation league says. If he's like the spokespeople for other organizations like that, he's all about drudging up any publicity he can for his cause and being overly protective of his cause. I'm sure you took the protests of the Catholics regarding "Da Vinci Code" very seriously.

Here you go. If you are an alcoholic actor, I suggest you avoid the PCH. Nolte was busted at the same spot that Gibson was busted.

Seriously, that's an all-time classic. He doesn't get the credit he deserves for his comedic genius.

Mountain out of a molehill. In 2 weeks, nobody will give a shit about what Mel said, except people who have an axe to grind---that is, people who didn't like Mel in the first place.
