I almost forgot to mention Mel.

I used to rather like Mel Gibson, but then, didn't everyone? Around the time of Lethal Weapon II when Mel was at the height of his powers he made some rather good films, and an awful lot of money. Where did it all go wrong I wonder? Well, becoming a raging alcoholic is only part of the story. To anyone who read the comments regarding Judaism and the jewish people attributed to Mel's father around the time of The Wankfest of The Christ, that Mel is a chip off the old block should come as no surprise. The particularly amusing thing, and satisfying too considering Mels recent mission to become the most annoying man on the planet via the medium of producing movies, is the huge degree in which Mel has shot himself in the foot. Holywood forgives its stars almost anything. Drugs? Almost expected. Booze? Definitely expected. Kiddy fiddling? Probably get over it. Murder? Assault? Rape? A good lawyer and publicist should have you back making movies before too long. What Holywood doesn't do these days is overt racism. It's just a no go area, and rightly so. Mel's choice of target is particularly unfortunate for him, as a quick look at the boards of all the major studios can tell you. I don't think Mel will be working on any Dreamworks projects in th near future, do you? Actually, I hope Apocolypto does really well. I'd love to see Speilberg deck Mel on the red carpet outside the Shrine Auditorium.

Anyway, have a chuckle at this video mash up featuring everyone's favourite anti-semite over at BestWeekEver.
