Jewish lady who was extremely offended the first time around here: Now it's serious because he (allegedly but, you know, probably) caused significant bodily harm to a specific person, endangered another (tiny) person in the process, and sure sounds like he'd do it again if given half a chance. That automatically makes this round of offensive and crazy much more grave.

yes, anti-semitizm is awful. But you laugh at the anti-catholic stuff? I really, really hope you're not one of the people posting it.

Goodness no! I was just responding to a PP saying the anti-Semitism didn't bother anyone too much until other minorities were brought into this. I see it, a little, but still think the violence is the biggest issue here.

I meant his first (public) racist tirade by "the first time around".

The comparison to Christ seemed like a joke to me. "Passion", as in Passion of the Christ.

Whomever posted the line about sugar tits- that was hilarious. I almost spit my drink out laughing at that one.

Yes, what Mel said about AAs and Jews was awful. So let's all sit around and make jokes about the Catholics and their beliefs.

Seems really hypocritical to me. And I'm not Catholic.

To those that think the tapes are fake; I read that the police asked her to tape some of their conversations, to build more of a case against him for the domestic violence allegations.

I think that that is him on the tapes because his lawyers are trying to take action for her releasing them. They aren't going after her for slander.

I would bet that he is mentally ill. I have a mentally ill child who says and does violent things and usually doesn't even remember doing/saying them. He lunges and growls and does things he would never consider during a lucid moment.

Idea for Real Housewives of NY-put Mel Gibson on a cruise ship with a bunch of pampered bitches be they Jewish, Catholic, Muslim, and throw a Scientologist in there, turn the tapes on and let the fur fly (ship must have seven decks with an open bar on every one). I'm counting the money right now.

Awesome! That's one reality show I would watch.

Perhaps. Don't some brain tumors make people change personalities and behave irrationally?

20:39 here-just reviewed the audio tapes-the 21st century in terms of celebrity has just jumped the shark. New reality show idea ala MTV's The Real World---Mel Gibson, Al Sharpton, Joy Behar, Glen Beck and Carrot Top have all agreed to share a fabulous penthouse apartment-only it's located in Tempe, Arizona. Minister Farrakhan walks in in the middle of episode two and claims the Barcalounger as his own. Again, the fabulous flat contains an open bar as well as a hot tub. Enter Snoop Dog..........

Know what crossed my mind when I heard these tapes? I wish Nicole Brown Simpson had done the same thing. I just couldn't stop imagining that this is what a controlling abuser sounds like before they snap and kill the one they control.

My sister was in physically abusive relationships and she would stay eerily calm when arguing with them because any indication of fighting back (raised voice, threat of leaving, threat of calling the police) would send them into a RAGE that ended worse then verbal abuse. It sounded like in these calls she knew he was capable of killing her and it was just a matter of time. Any provocation could be the end of her life.

I read it as a play on words, not a slight on any religion.

Sorry, but how is this not offensive? If somebody, not me, made a similar joke about the a key component of jewish faith would you think that was OK?

Pot.

But the kicker, for me, is the bigotted stuff about Catholics - and Mel Gibson!- that somebody is posting on the Mater Dei thread in the private school sectiion. It's not innocent. Both Catholics and non-Catholics have called that person out.

There's nothing witty or clever about that quote, or sone of the others. It's just crass.

There's an anti-catholic/anti-Christian bigot who shows up on DCUM every few months. Or maybe more and that's just on the threads I read. Eventually she gets shouted down. But she always comes back, sort of like Freddy.

Since trashy reality TV will be Mel's only job prospects, I'd say this is pretty feasible. I'd pitch this to Bravo/VHI/MTV Now. Seriously.
