Big....Bigger....Biggot

So this morning I saw that more tape had been leaked of Mel Gibson freaking out.  Why is this shocking?  Why is it a surprise?  Who cares?  Honestly.......w.h.o c.a.r.e.s  Apparently he was working on a movie called "The Maccabees". (hehe)  To make a short story even shorter his co-writer wrote him a letter, post vacation freak out, that he realized that Mel was just doing this movie to mend his anti-Semitic image but that he really hates Jews.  In the words of my 6th grade self.......No Duh.  Is this really surprising to anyone.  If it came out today that Morgan Freeman hated white people tomorrow we'd see previews for "How Miss Daisy Got Her Groove Back".  Of course Mel is trying to save his career.  He went from  hollywoods hottest Aussie to hollywoods incredibly haggard looking jew-hater.  He's probably had a complete nervous breakdown.  Why does it matter so much whether or not he is a biggot.  The majority of the population is to some extent.  He should be reprimanded for not keeping it to himself.  When you become a movie star or anything else in the public eye you have no business spouting any sort of hatred at anytime.  You have chosen to have people look up to you and therefore have chosen to hold yourself to a higher standard.  On the other side of the coin America, you have to be a little more consistent with this whole "we are so offended" fad.  Chris Brown beat the crap out of a woman.   Black eyes, bruises, swollen face, cuts......the whole nine.  Yet, you people are still buying this mo fo's records and concert tickets.  All I picture is the classic Nixon pose flashing the double peace sign with a text bubble that says " I just beat the hell out of my wife....but I Love Me Some Jews!!!!"  Sounds like something you'd see in the comics of the paper.  The crazy thing is that this is exactly what we are saying.  If its excusable for a man to beat a woman why is it inexcusable for someone spout ignorant racial slurs?  I'm no feminist but if Mel Gibson hated women would this be as big of an issue?

joe-sama bin laden

I have to say that I feel sorry for George Zimmerman as well as the Martin family.  Both have lost so much and this is a sad situation for all parties.  I will say I think the media and this whole black vs. white crap gets really old.  My husband looks like this.....

He is Samoan....but he looks like a mexican or a terrorist.  Would people wear hoodies in remembrance of him or demand for George Zimmerman's head?.......(besides me of course)
I gotta say I don't think so.
