1. He's a charmer, ain't he?

[Buzz Clik]

2. tsk tsk. Mel's been tossing back the Mad Dog 20/20 again

[shain from kane]

11. The son of a Holocaust denier drinks Mad Dog 20/20?

[Buzz Clik]

12. It's a nasty little circle: he only hates Jews when he's drunk, but...

...he drinks Mogen David to prove he's not anti-Semitic. What's a fella to do? :shrug:

[shain from kane]

13. Mad Max peels the labels off. Mad Max Beyond Thunderbird.

[Buzz Clik]

14. The picture of the torn, troubled man

[hlthe2b]

3. it isn't going to end pretty for ole Mel...

He's essentially lost his looks, certainly his reputation, and it looks like he's going to end up one of those pathetic figures in Hollywood history... :shrug:

[Downtown Hound]

4. Mel Gibson=good Catholic.

:sarcasm:

[earth mom]

7. Whoa-Don't smear all Catholics with your broad and hateful brush!

I know many wonderful Catholics-my husband and MIL being two of them.

Mel, on the other hand, is NOT a good Catholic or human being for that matter.

[Downtown Hound]

9. Some people really are sarcasm challenged

:sarcasm:

There, I added the logo for you, although it was one post too late. I was making fun of Mel, not smearing all Catholics.

[earth mom]

23. That's why I always use the smilies...so there is no mistaking my intention.

Thanks for letting me know. :hi:

[Rosemary2205]

24. Still doesn't work

still offensive to Catholics -------- but whatever.

[Downtown Hound]

25. Okay, allow me to spell it out for you in very slow, succinct language....

Mel Gibson is always touting himself as a Catholic. He made a movie about Jesus. Actually, to more accurate, he made a movie about torture that featured Jesus, but that's another issue alltogether. He is always going around touting Catholic values. And yet very recently, he has been revealed as a racist, unstable, borderline psychotic. The point of my post was how unCatholic he really is. It would be like hearing a Republican preaching about family values and then finding out he molests little boys, which has been known to happen on certain occassions. And then someone sarcastically said, "What great family values." But then, someone like you might come along and say that that person was insulting family values, when in fact they were doing nothing of the sort.

Now if you're still offended after that, then there's really nothing I can do about that. But I'm not going to apologize when I really don't feel I have anything to apologize for. Have a nice day!

:hi:

[Rosemary2205]

27. I was never offended.

I appreciate the fact that you didn't say quite what you meant. All I'm saying is what you actually originally said is offensive and a "sarcasm" thingy doesn't change that fact.

It's a free country. I'm about the least PC person on the planet and say offensive stuff all the time. But it is what it is. Offensive.

Just my VERY humble opinion.......

5. A female who happend to be a Central American history professor.

[tbyg52]

6. Yes, he told her to "make her own movie"

Apparently he's not bothered by making *his* own movie with *his* own facts.....

[cgrindley]

19. Maybe she should

Gibson's expert way outranks her:

Dr. Richard D. Hansen is a specialist on the early Maya and is the Director of the Mirador Basin Project in northern Guatemala. He was an Assistant Research Scientist (Level IV) with the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at UCLA until Dec. 2003. He is the founder and president of the Foundation for Anthropological Research and Environmental Studies (FARES), a non-profit scientific research institution, now based in Washington, D.C. He graduated with a Ph.D. in Archaeology from UCLA in January 1992. He previously held a double major B.S. degree in Spanish and Archaeology from Brigham Young University in 1978, and a M.S. degree in Anthropology in 1984. While a Ph.D. student at UCLA, he was selected by the U.S. Department of Education as a National Graduate Fellow and a Jacob Javits Fellow from all college and university students throughout the nation in the arts, humanities, and social sciences for five years. He was named the UCLA Distinguished Scholar in 1988, a Fulbright Scholar in 1990, the UCLA Outstanding Graduate Student in 1991, and the UCLA Chancellor's Marshall in 1992. He has published 69 papers and book chapters in scientific and popular publications and has presented more than 145 professional papers in scientific symposia throughout the world.

20. OK

I still *really* dislike Mel.

[cgrindley]

22. yep

who doesn't dislike Mel? he's an asshat.

[Lilith Velkor]

16. Apparently femaleness is more important than professorness

Ah well, at least the OP didn't use the term "Sugar Tits." :eyes:

That Mel, he's quite entertaining... :popcorn:

[treestar]

8. Has Mel jumped the shark yet?

[City Lights]

10. He needs to crawl back in his hole and scratch himself to contentment.

Gawd he makes my skin crawl. The :puke: just doesn't cut it. We need a new smiley to express gives me the creeps or makes my skin crawl.

[cgrindley]

15. Well... you know...

There are a number of huge political controversies regarding everything from Mayan sacrifice to role of gender in their agricultural system to the significance of possible over-exploitation of the ecosystem, and these issues have spilled over into both the contemporary politics of the region and the politics of cultural anthropology and archaeology. If you do a bit of the reading, tempers are flaring over what appears to be some fairly minor and not really noteworthy propositions... scholars blasting each other by complaining about "the tyranny of the archaeological record"... classic stuff. Mel Gibson appears to have blundered into something that is full of poisonous scholarly hate regardless of how he approached the subject.

The film couldn't have pleased anyone no matter how it was made. Hell, judging from a few of reviews, there are even what appear to be Mayan human sacrifice apologists, attempting however valiantly to argue that the Mayan's state ideology of continual warfare and public punishment of captured enemies was nothing out of the ordinary for 20th century global society. On the other side is some professor from Idaho or somewhere who was the technical advisor.

Basically, as far as I can tell, the standard complaint seems to be that rather than downplaying the Mayan's fondness for bloody human sacrifice and focusing on their music and arts, the film decided just to go with the bloody human sacrifice part. Is it racist to say that the Mayans practiced grotesque human sacrifice to their wholly imaginary gods? I doubt it. Is it racist to suggest that's all they did? Probably. Not having seen the film, however (I'm not going to give the anti-semite my money), I cannot judge the matter. Going from the few clips I've seen of their cities in the film, it sure looks like their art and engineering and culture was given more credit than simply one of terror and blood.

Anyhow, that's not my point.

As someone who has been to a huge number of fractious international scholarly conferences, seeing the general public collide with the world of academia is hilarious.

Indeed, the little ugly anti-semite responded in a particularly useful and human way when confronted by a classically "academic" argument.

The only really positive point appears to be that this idiot film only generated 3 (three) refereed articles (one brief editorial, one pro and one con). The other 76 articles published on it are non-refereed, and therefore worthless.

17. back to rehab with him

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

18. I thought he had to take an anger management class?

Looks like it didn't take.

[skipos]

21. Too bad. I kind of liked Apocalypto.

[Forkboy]

26. It's just about time for ole Mel to step in front of a bus and take one for the team.
