Oh, how the mighty have fallen. There was a time, long ago, when Mel Gibson was the hottest guy in movies. And now, he's just an old, crazy, Jew hater who's forced to walk around in disguise. Take this recent incident, in which Gibson screened the uncut version of his new movie (yes it's still being made) Apocalypto.
Hollywood's most hated nut (possibly second only to Tom Cruise) headed to Oklahoma yesterday (the only state where they might be sympathetic to his ant-Simitism) wearing a wig.
The filmmaker and actor, fiercely criticized for his anti-Semitic outburst when he was arrested for drunk driving last July, showed the as-yet unfinished movie on Friday, first at a casino and at Cameron University in Oklahoma, where he arrived in wig and disguise, according to The Associated Press.
Then he went to Texas to spread his anti-war gospel. Without a disguise … which is the only part we don't understand. Nobody in Oklahoma cares if you think Hitler is the greatest man who ever lived … but tellin' Texans that this whole war is truly outrageous? We would have recommended a full cowboy outfit and mask.
