Mel Gibson went on WGN TV recently, no doubt expecting the usual round of asinine fluff for which these local-TV apes train their entire lives. (“You heard it here first, folks, it was a pleasure to work with such a talented crew. Now back to Jojo the water skiing squirrel.”) Instead, the guy wanted to keep needling him about the whole sugartits incident. Gibson, who you have to admit has been a pretty good sport about this whole thing (see also: Gervais’ introduction at the Golden Globes, the Colonel Sanders sketch on Kimmel) even at one point says “I think I’m the same person I always was,” which is a nice departure from the usual Hollywood line of “Ever since I went to sex rehab and found Scientology, I’ve been the vessel for a 3,000-year-old alien spirit named Xangief. I find he’s a calming influence.”
Anyway, Mel Gibson does his best to keep things civil, and then once he thinks the interview is over and the cameras are off, he says “asshole” under his breath. What a jerk. Someone needs to send that guy to sex rehab or something.
The best part about Mel Gibson turning into Xangief is when he dances with Mikael Gorbachev after defeating M.Bison.
What is that shit? When I’m told that Mel Gibson ‘loses it’ I expect a lot more crazy than that…
Rip Torn, Nick Nolte and Mel Gibson. Fuck one, marry one, kill one. Decide now.
I CANT CHOOSE!!!!
Fuck, marry, kill. A tale as old as time
Mel Gibson is my power animal
Does Michael Richards have an upcoming movie to promote? Fuck it just get him on WGN TV
“WGN” stands for “Curse on Live Television”

I’m not good with acronyms.
Sugartit is the spokesperson for the Mammograms Before 40 Now! movement.
I hope Xangief fights alien bears. Like Avatar, minus the lame. And the rape.
Sugartits is my favorite breakfast cereal.
It adds its own milk!

I had my TV set to SAP Aramaic, so “asshole” just sounds like Jesus screaming.
If all the guy had done was call a woman “Sugartits” it probably would have been something to hurry up and get over. I wonder why no one wants to bring up the fact of his anti-semitic comments when they talk about the incident. He sides with his father, who is a Holocaust denier and blamed the Jews for every war in history.
The question wasn’t even “needling”. He gave Mel a chance to say he’d lived and learned and hoped to be seen in a better light, but instead Mel chose to be antagonistic by making him spell it out, and then acting like because it happened FOUR YEARS AGO that the comments were okay. How about saying you’re sorry instead of ducking the question, douchebag?
this whole thing was blown way out of proportian Crazy uncle Mel was obviously talking to his footstool, Noah Silberstein
