PLANET MORONIA: Was That Smell Gibson?

 

 

There’s little doubt we thought Mel was a good actor. Headlines this weekend however show just where the cracks in his acting ability begin to show themselves: in his performances while under the influence of alcohol. Gibson, who's been growing his beard out apparently to more closely resemble the Hezbollah imams with which he now seemingly more than anyone thought agrees, also has proven himself a chip off the old Dad Gibson block. This, thanks of course to what was caught on tape during his recent arrest, in which he endlessly uttered anti-Semitic slogans old and expansive enough to make Hitler or Ahmadinejad squeal with delight.

 

A sad commentary for the producer of anything having to do with Christ’s passion, which by the way, as the Apostle Paul wrote, was to show loving kindness "first to the Jew and then to the gentile". But sadly, Gibson seems intent instead on blaming his own choice to drink prior to driving on Abraham, Moses, Solomon, Jesus, Anne Frank, and every other person who has ever happened to be Jewish.  

 

It is also sadly telling that Gibson chose to blame the police officer for his arrest. So it’s no wonder he’d also blame an entire group of people for every one of his other ills (as with being drunk, something forbidden by both Old and New Testament scripture).

 

None of this of course ingratiates Gibson with the Pope or anyone else, save a few Islamofascists, ill-informed Russians, and terrorists out there – and I wouldn’t want to be counted among those less-than stellar souls.

 

That smell is Mel, and it’s not a very good one. He should probably get some kind of personal help now that it’s all out in the open for everyone and his or her grandma to see.

Sad, indeed. Such things should serve as moral lessons that pretending kindness publicly and how one conducts himself privately are not only uncategorically linked, the private practice will eventually win out over the public performance every time.

With the war though (and what just happened in Seattle), Mel's timing couldn't have been more pernicious.

I thought he looked like Saddam. Don't you? This was very disappointing, especially what he said. But as another blogger pointed out, none of us are without sin and we will all have to stand before God and acknowledge our lives.

I never thought of that - but you're right there - he is sporting a bit of a Saddam de Beverly Hills. I don't think he's well - he's no doubt been living in his own spider hole of sorts lately. Hopefully he will find forgiveness with God. I wish it could clear up the unfortunate consequences he has brought about around him in the lives of others, but... Not exactly "peace on earth, goodwill toward men" his words, and he's done a lot of people a lot of harm by his comments.
