SchadenFriday Late Edition: The Passion of the Drunk

I refuse to see Mel Gibson's snuff film Passion because I'm pretty sure that Gibson has flipped his lid and I have no desire to see a guy in a rubber suit get flogged for 2 hours. The desire to even make such a movie suggests to me a diseased mind, and it seems like I might be getting confirmation.

Evolution Denier Mel Gibson got a DUI, having a .12 BAC as compared to the California legal limit of .08.

TMZ has learned that Deputy Mee audiotaped the entire exchange between himself and Gibson, from the time of the traffic stop to the time Gibson was put in the patrol car, and that the tape fully corroborates the written report.

Once inside the car, a source directly connected with the case says Gibson began banging himself against the seat. The report says Gibson told the deputy, "You mother f****r. I'm going to f*** you." The report also says "Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he 'owns Malibu' and will spend all of his money to 'get even' with me."

The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: "F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?"

Gibson, paragon of moral virtue that he is, apparently wasn't satisfied with merely being an anti-Semitic ass clown and also directed some love at a female cop.

A law enforcement source says Gibson then noticed another female sergeant and yelled, "What do you think you're looking at, sugar tits?"

Now keep in mind this is the Internets. On the series of tubes connecting the Internets, erroneous information can sometimes slip in. So tomorrow this might all go away. But, as you find out if you check the link, there's a pdf of the alleged handwritten police notes. There are allegedly police tapes to corroborate the event. Somebody's going through a good deal of trouble if this is a hoax.

I've written before about Hutton Gibson (Mel Gibson's father) and serious crank, conspiracy theorist and proud Holocaust denier. I even speculated, based on Mel's cagey answers to direct questions about the Holocaust, speculating about whether he shares some of Hutton's beliefs. I ended up guessing…

I've heard "Passion of the Christ" referred to as "The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre". And as for all those who howled with outrage over a glimpse of a Janet Jackson nipple but who were also more than eager to subject their children to the over-the-top violence in Passion... ...I can't help but consider those folks rather twisted.

The ones who really scare me are the repeat viewers and those who buy the DVD...

Apparently as of this morning he's apologizing for those remarks, so no hoax. When the story was reported yesterday, I heard it stated that he believed his faith helped turn his life around several years ago. Good to see that's working out well.
