You get the feeling that the press is trying to make a bigger deal out of this than the public cares for it to be? The guy already said he has a drinking problem, has fought it for years, and he obviously said things while drunk he didn't mean. The guy has said he's sorry over and over, and now is asking Jewish leaders directly for forgiveness:

OK, we get it, he screwed up and now he's sorry. Let's move on.

I am SO sick and tired of the media telling us what's important and what's not.

You know I've been watching the news for the last couple hours... and I fail to see where Mel Gibson's incident is a media barrage... I've seen the story mentioned exactly once...

QFT

A few joke threads on internet forums do not represent the media.

well its big in that it confirms the suspiscions many have had about him. i've been ignoring the story but eventually it hit npr:p seems it was more than just speculation this time. dudes dad is a holocaust denier, and in the past mels only reponse to questions on that was that his dad never lied to him:p

This is how the government controls you in a democracy.... telling you what you should know, leaving out what you REALLY should know.

Interesting.... you know there's this thing called the "Internet" and believe it or not MOST americans have access to it... and GET THIS... you can read news from thousands of different sources from all over the world. Thats one of those cool things about a democratic country... you can access any information from anywhere. So if you don't know what's going on the world... you have noone to blame but yourself.

For a guy of Mel Gibson's size, 0.12% blood-alcohol level is not that much. He was acting out of stupidity more than anything.

Or, as is probably the case, he had a lot more than alcohol in his system.

I think I've seen the story on every news brief today. One of the briefs actually mentioned that Mel was wishing the media would focus on something else. Go figure.

Yeah, and in college 15 years ago I drank 1/2 a bottle of Jack Daniels out of a straw and then told some guy he was hot.

Now I guess I'm gay.

Look at CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and the little scrollie thing on the bottom of each of their TV stations.

TMZ.com did a poll about whether they would stop seeing Mel Gibson movies and 69% said they will still see his movies. Since only 2% of the population is jewish I don't think it will affect his box office that much.

Don't forget that Hollywood is controlled by Jews.

I don't get what you people are missing. Just because you are drunk doesn't mean you will start hating Jews. When have any of you ever been drunk and had a hatred for a certain group of people only because you are drunk? Clearly, this guy has always had anti-semetic feelings, and just because he was drunk, it unintentionally came out. I mean, come on, look at the way he was raised.

Oh, look, I'm drunk, I hate black people. But tomorrow morning, I'll be perfectly fine with them again. what a load of sh!t.
