Hollywood hype drives me nuts !! These were all normal regular people seeking a profession and if successful are thrown into the media as " Idols " ! They makes tons too much money , have no morals as to marriage and making babies . If the Movie industry fell flat ... most would be complete losers . Yes, there are exceptions, but very few . Yes, he should be treated like any other citizen .... but unfortunately those who have a "name " seem to be exempt. Sure happened here !!! Had I done the same thing I would have served some time ( either four weekends or one week in jail )... community service, drug awareness classes, plus court costs and fines. Been on driver's suspension with one year 's suspension involving being around ANY alcohol . Her case was put off many times for 4 years. Yup , though guilty she only paid the fine and her lawyers . Other charges for another incident were dropped. But her name was Nancy ( Mrs. Tony ) Irsay .........

Only thing I don't like is how the officer that Gibson slandered made a public apology to Mel. Anyone else see that?


Anyways, you don't see them making public apologies to the common folk. THAT pisses me off.

Blatant preferential treatment. But new? Ha, not by a long shot.

So he said the police were jews wanting money. I'm not a jew, but I sure do want money! ROFL What does that make me in Mel's eyes? A Catholic Jew...now that's an oxymoron.

Jewish people are known to be very thrifty with their money, not "wanting" it. So, apparently he doesn't know much about the Jewish people. JMO

LOL! Lab breeder your statements are great that you have made but this one takes the cake ;) . Though Jews are known to be thrifty with the almighty dollar, I work at a bank and I can tell you that there are ALOT of broke Jewish people around here anyway :D ! LOL! Seriously though as some of you pointed out, if it were you or me who made these statements we would have never of made the news/media. I feel for some of these actors/actresses because they have NO privacy what's so ever. Anyone catch Brittany Spears on Dateline? That poor girl can't even trip over a sidewalk without being called a bad mother :( Granted she has done some stupid things with her child but we live and learn and the media blows everything out of proportion with people in hollywood.

ok..so Mel is just a person, and he made a class A pathetic statement. it wasn't nice at all, but he's just human and acts like a jerk like alot of people. mostly tho........I'm sickened at the media, as per usual. they hype things beyond the point of tolerance. I'm not even a Mel Gibson fan, and again...while what he said was ignorant....they act like this was the worst crime of the century. when I listen to what comedians say..no matter if it's 'all in good fun'......this is nothing to get all cranked up about. and no, I also don't believe he was so drunk he had no clue what he was saying.....so he's a jerk, big surprise. I'd still see a movie he produced or was in, I'm just not gonna hang out with him no matter how much he begs. LOL

Honestly, I don't see what all the fuss is about. I think it's kind of funny actually... I laughed when I saw some clips of the video of him. But I mean, come on, it's not that big of a deal.

what DOES SCARE me is the U.S policy toward israel right now. i mean in this country if someone says something against Israel he or she gets banned and publicly shamed.. i mean i thought this was a free country... and look at what Israel and the U.S. are doing to lebannon! that makes me feel sick. now i'll probably get black listed for writing this email. that scares me!
