Mar 23 2007Mel Gibson tells people to fuck off

Oooh oooh! I hope Jesus comes back next to tell Mel what's what.

His candor is refreshing

Did he actually take an "anger managment" class or did he just watch the movie? Cuz if it was the latter, I can understand the Adam Sandler impression he's doing in those pictures.

Oh Mel, it must suck having fallen so far...

mel gibson = trainwreck

It is SO annoying when people over analyze movies and take anything in them personally. They are movies. They are entertainment. There have been hundreds of movies where groups of people are misrepresented, but no one cares! So yeah lady, fuck off!

Sweet....but WTF is a bloodlst?!?!?

I am just overcome with emotion.

You'd think he'd be used to being called a bigot by now.

he's so politically correct

"MEL GIBSON SMAAAAAASH! aaaughhhghgugh!!!"

Where did they find 400 year old Mayans? Must be in the water down there.

In other news: Actual African slaves were seen protesting outside of the home of the late Alex Haley, citing the inherent racism and lack of historical proof backing up Haley's supposed television masterpiece. Then they began whistling, picked up their bales of cotton, and went back to the fields muttering about how if Kunte Kinte was faster, none of this would have ever happened.

Mel Gibson's angry lunatic rants might never get old. And by "might" I mean they won't, ever.

i bet he thinks it was the Jews that put the Mayan expert up to that.

Wow, Mel just keeps getting classier and classier. It's nice to see someone who can take some criticism.

I'd love to wrap my snatch around his cock and ride the spunk out of his sac.

Lady, F*ck Off, and go make me a pork sammich.

Geez I wonder if anything in the movie 300 was exaggerated as well? Cause I don't wanna live in a world where 12 foot tall tentacle-armed executioners never existed.

God, I *heart* Mel. Everybody else in Hollywood is so fucking politically correct and fake, his honest approach to his hecklers (those fucks came there specifically to harass him!) is wonderful! Now if he goes into rehab or comes out with an apology, I will throw up. But, for the moment, I'm enjoying it!

Oh, Mel. I love you.

i echo a previous observation

"members of the Mayan community"

did we master that whole time-machine thingee while i was blinking????

where the FUCK are mayans these days?

next why not interview some Roman Centaurians what they thought of "Gladiator"..

i don't know how much i love him, but i love living in a culture where "fuck off" is an appropriate response to hermeneutical objections.

come on, lady, we know you're not tenured, but you make smart people look bad if you fail to get that it's a fucking MOVIE. what next? you gonna write to hugh hefner for not portraying life at the mansion properly? geeeeeeeeeeeezus

I really think the Mayans should hire an image consultant/pr ace. How very Hollywood.

@ 4 and 5, Fallen so far? Trainwreck? Check the ticket grosses for his movies at boxofficemojo.com.
He could purchase the 2 of you as sacrifices for his next epic blodfest.
He might be a little crazy, but I love the fact that he is willing to tell some professor to fuck off.
So STFU Sweet tits!!

Fucking right Magickal. Mel I am with you. These fucking whining, dumb fucks always show up to impress people with their 'cause' and to show people how 'smart' they are. Ha ha the dumb cunt in the audience got told off. Good for her. Go clean your kitchen or get a real fucking job. They guy made a movie people ! Its a fucking movie. He made it like he wanted...

I love it when people tell the truth. I'm with Mel. Who cares about the Mayans?

this has nothing to do with the mayans. i care about the mayans as much as anybody, even your turd ass. it was never supposed to be a documentary, so it's not about the mayans. it's fucking historical fiction.

Mel made another movie? I hadn't noticed.

Magickal is awsome. Mel may be an jew-hating moron, but the Mayans unequivocally did sacrifice people. Apparently, there is some way to portray a culture's human sacrifices with less blood so as not to make it so offensive.

And Phowstus rocks.

I don't believe in Mayans!!!

They should have gave everyone nerf foam bats so that they could just go at it and vent their anger. I bet the mayan expert was just angry, because he's worked so hard and was made fun of all his life for being a mayan info nerd. He's always believed that the nerds make the money and get the chicks after highschool, until he realized that he was a professor at Calstate Northridge.

nobody got mad at Steve Martin in The Jerk for showing what it was like growing up a poor black child. But he was quite accurate.

you're an idiot, Pelted.

WHITE POWER MEL!

Mel fukin rocks! He says whats on his mind and doesn't put up with shit from yuppy hollywood dicks. Ok maybe he gets a little too drunk and may make a few racist remarks ..but hey who doesn't lol lol

Yay Mel! Publicly telling some whiny old bitch to fuck off just makes you that much cooler.

biatcho, light of my life, fire of my loins, where have you been all this time?!

The Mayans. Did they invent mayonnaise?

I am not a huge Mel fan but I agree, yelling "Lady, Fuck Off" to some PC mofo is pretty right on. Or off, whichever phrase you crazy kids are saying these days.

#38 no, they invented mayomustardayonnaise.
I can see how the two can be confused though.

my very life looks over the precipice, biatcho. your love would be the only salvation. sure, you'll say, i would go on living. but there are two deaths; the real one, and the one people know about... i'm on the brink. come away with me!? what do you think?

I love that stuff. It's kosher.

I think this is the same woman who got mad at Spielberg for sterotyping Germans in "Schindler's List."

Or was it for making out during Schindler's List?

I can never remember......

I thnk she also yelled at Chuck D for the song "I Don't Wanna Be Called Yo Nigga."

his next movie should be about a celebrity that is a devout cathoholic will millions of dollars, owning a island and lots of kids and the "turmoil" that this character must go through by offending others in order to prove his self worth. what do u guys think?ha

Right on Mel. Fuck off everybody.

mel should do a movie about mel.

Unless, Mel Gibson decides to start teaching, all the PC people should just shut the hell up. Its just a movie. Why aren't the PC people ragging on the producers of Storm Troopers? I mean, what the hell? Bugs are nice creatures. I've never seen earth worms suck out people's brains! That movie is not true to real bugs around the world! Damn Racist Hollywood! Bugs are people too! Well, not really, but you know what I mean.

kudos mel, kudos.

I don't wanna say it, I really don't. I hate it. But here it comes... I agree with Mel Gibson! Don't over analyze movies, especially historical movies about people who lived so freaking long ago it doesn't matter anymore. You're so smart, studying about an ancient culture that you have to run down and argue with a movie maker about a topic that some researchers say is true and others argue that it is false. Some say that they were a violent group with human sacrifices, and others disagree. But the bottom line? Movies with inaccurate facts have been around FOREVER. There are very few movies that are 100% accurate. It's ok to discuss it and debate with people who want to debate with you, but why run down and find the maker of the movie and bitch at him? Just shut up and watch the movie.

#47 thanks for clarifying what you meant to say in post #45. I totally didn't realize that was what you meant.

he's creating stuff for others to respond to. he's got to deal with criticism...

A, si ela soubesse, que quando ela passa, o mundo sorrindo se enche de graça e fica mais lindo, por causa do amor!

biatcho u bet cho

paul metzler you betzler!

Vous aimez vraiment cette fille. fait pourquoi ne vous permettez pas à me. J'aime martini aussi !

I think a lot of people's comments just proved why Mel Gibson's potrayal of Mayan's is stereotypical. Mayans are still alive. There are thousands of their descendents still alive today who have kept the culture and traditions from being lost (the human sacrificing maybe not so much). To assume that all the Native people of Central America have died off is pretty ignorent. I think the Native community deserves to be pissed...everybody either romanticizes them or depicts them as "savages". And nobody ever makes a film about the genocide committed against the Natives by the Spanish and English colonizers. When people like Mel Gibson make movies like apocalypto, it adds to the ignorent stereotyping of Native peoples.

Colloquially expressed, but, essentially correct.

I know that Maya people are still alive, but the movie was set with Ancient Mayans. That is the point. You can't upset me by saying that 1500 years ago my ancestors were violent and had human sacrifices. Some think the Mayans were violent and had human sacrifices, and some argue they did not. Nobody really knows, and it's a movie.

je n'ai pas compris... "fait pourquoi ne vous permettez pas à me?" a moi? ancor un fois, svp?

Mayan-nazi Bitch. Next she'll demand that May be declared Mayan history month.

Ofcourse he's telling the people to fuck off because it's a movie for entertainment.It's not a politically documentairy or something.So overrated barbarian shitty Mayas,fuck off!

mai, ouis. je l'aime...

mais

Je ne parlez pas en francais.

@33 -- Whoa!!! Go easy on Pelted. Pelted had an excellent point in thelast sentence of post #29.

ça fait longtemps... but veggi started it.

Please, please quit with the French. Your not cool.

I am glad Mel did this. I am sick of politically correctness. Good for him.

My French said 'I do not speak french.' I'm sooo cool.

that you rule? fine. agreed. but otherwise his post demonstrated the kind of idiocy that this film was in danger of promoting.

actually it said "I don't [thou] speaketh not in french"

.
.
To those who are saying that Mel is so un-PC he says whats on his mind. No, he's only done that twice, once when he was drunk, and the second time when somebody dared question him. He is exactly like every other Egomaniacle Hollywood celeb or director. They will be PC until PC contradicts their massive sense of entitlement or ego.

Mel is ordinary to the 10th power in Hollywood. That being said, he DOES give one hell of a Blow-Job

"Fuck off sugartits"

@72 -- You're a funny fucking fuck you fucker. That was great.

tomato tom-ah-to

soooo, Spindoc, you think he's a loose cannon and not a shrewd interlocutor?

Somebody should make a freak out Mel action figure. It could drink scotch, and then you pull a string and it would say things like "Hey suger tits" and "Lady, fuck off" and "Hitler was the best thing that ever happened to the Jews"

The next time Mel gibson should throw tomatos and rotten eggs to this kind of people.

What a fucking mysoginistic, chauvanistic asshole. "Mel, fuck off".

Did I forget prejeudiced and racist? Yeah, I did.

That's why you're single, Mel, ya shitfaced Aussie.

Fucking Mayans always complaining about SOMETHING. They should go back to Maya or whereverthefuck they're from.

#62)As you can see,this is the result of being westerneuropean.It's 'documentary'.

When I lived in Pennsylvannia, the rednecks would pronounce the word "mine" like "Mayan" as in:

"Which ruff is yers"

"That ruff over there on the house next ta tha crik is mayan"

I left that town running.

@57 Lighten the fuck up. As a matter of fact ... ALL you PC fools stfu. Like Mel said ... make your own damn movie. I'm off to watch Mad Max & Lethal Weapon, biatches.

One last thing ... WTF is with pic #1 ? He looks like that cowboy from the "You don't always die from tobacco" commercials. Is Mel using a voice box now ?

Ew, Pennsylvannia has hicks? Its not even Southern...suh-thern.

AWESOMENESS!!! so cool on so many levels. Cortez met the Aztecs first anyways, not the Mayans. Not blood thirsty? Who are they kidding? It's painted all over the walls in the pyramids! I wonder where they got that clown of "Assistant professor" must be assistant to a professor of math or something, sure as hell not Mayan (or any Central American) history.

and KTBOO, did you even WATCH the movie?? He may have portrayed the 'Mayans' as savage (and they did get pretty frantic when everything went to pot for them) but Jaguar Paw's tribe was portrayed in a very human and sympathetic way. Not barbaric at all, simply as a community. I was really impressed by that because its the FIRST time anyone has bothered making a big movie about ancient Latin America from the 'Indians' side of it.

every state has hicks, stone rose, and if you don't know that, you're prolly one of'em

In the 2nd Picture he looks like Ferrell from that scene in Anchorman when Applegate's character tells him he has bad hair.

@87 -- There seems to be a belt of hicks around the Appalacians. aybe calling them rednecks is a bit of a misnomer, but they are certainly hicks. Pick up drivin', derr huntin', CAT hat wearin', missing tooth hicks.

whatEVER, Phowstus, if that is your real name. there are hicks 20 minutes west of the philly city line.

First Geico pisses off the Cavemen and now Mel pisses off the Mayans. They'll probably cut his heart out in his sleep. I'd be sleeping with one eye opened if I was him.

He's not crazy, he's just one of a handful of celebrities that are willing to speak what they're thinking. Just like Rosie, oh wait, I hate that bitch.

Nevermind.

Dude, I live in Toronto - no hicks, just lots of us first or second-generation metro-sexual immigrants, ya know?

But being a hick sounds like fun. Riding bareback, shooting random shit, tying shit up, fucking the nextdoor farmer's son ;P

Well I agree that it is really annoying when people over analyse movies...but he is a racist scumbag, there is no doubt about that.

Also I'm pretty sure Jesus doesn't like when you let people to fuck off.

Mel U so Craaazy

I really don't know what offends those scholars. I've actually talked to history professors that have studied the Mayan culture for a very long time. He said that nothing was false in that film, it was exactly like how it was back then. The scholars that are denying it and saying it's racism are just upset because the view the Mayan culture as a pieceful tribe. But there were constant attacks back then.

So yeah, "Fuck OFF, LADY!"

@92 -- Yea, I'm sure your SS card says schack s. schack under the signature.

Schacky McSchackofferson. Or some shit like that.

um, it's more like having arteries clogged with transfat, chronic fatigue and yeast infections, little chance of moving up in life and no health care, canuck. get with the program. why do you think ANS was so crazy?

God bless him. The true Christian God, of course. None of that Jewy God.

Seriously, good for him. It's called creative license. I don't care if they really lined people up and ripped their hearts out and threw them down the side of the pyramid. It looked cool. And whether they held that specific ritual, you can't argue that they weren't bloodthirsty. Everyone was then.

phowstus, i like you and all. can't we disagree now and then? geeeeeeeez

@100 -- We just did. There's no issue. Besides, if everyone agreed with me all the time, I'd change my name to George W Bush.

Guess I should count my blessings, schack.

That ain't a pretty picture. If I were a hick I'd be more of the Daisy Duke kinda gal, 'cept I'd kick a little more ass and wear chic-er clothes, and I'd ride I black stallion, and carry a short whip...but I digress.

I hate that every movie now has to be a documentary.

So what do "they" accompish? Every movie has to pass through some sort of Big Brother, fact-checking committee of humorless censors? What a fun world that would be.

I almost forgot Mel Gibson is an Australian.A continent discovered for the first time by the Dutch and the 2nd time by the British...Just a little history for you folks.

...what, the Dutch didn't tell the British? What a let-down that must've been.

First off, the Mayans were bloodthirsty fucks. Revisionists, to quote Mel, "fuck off". Why is it no one bitches when Nazis are shown to be the psychotic cunts they were? But someone shows a dark side to any minority group and they suck the devil's cock? Here's a quick, condensed history flash for those out there that are benefitting from today's revisionism courtesy the History Channel and socialists in the classroom. The Mayans, Aztecs and Olmecs all practiced human sacrifice and even ritual cannibalism. They thought so little of human life that athletes lost theirs whenever they lost a game (so much for Mayan dynasties). The Conquistadores were violent but civilized men who were appalled at the culture they encountered. While we can agree that their tactics were often blunt and savage, can we not also agree that the notion of the Mayan and Aztecs as humble, gentle people is stretching things a bit? Lastly, the article fails to depict the so-called Mayan instigators as they more than likely were. Gibson is shown as flying off the handle and being insensitive and irrational, but you know that "Mayan" bitch was haranguing him, catcalling and accusing him in a public forum of being racist. One more thing, if this bitch is a legitimate Mayan - not just some Mexican with an inflated sense of self worth - can she please let us know where they went? One of history's great mysteries is what happened to the Maya... maybe this delusional latina shared a fattie with one Friday night.

we have the highest infant mortality rate of any first world country, and the fattest people. sell 'em gilded dreams, give 'em all of the ostensible needs for living well (food, shelter), but then retarded education and privatized everything. no outlet, whatsoever, so people eat and eat and eat.

#40 - Wait, I'm confused... I thought they invented mustmayostardayonnaise??

He could have been more tactful, but he was right. They should make their own movie.

I am just overcome with emotion.

Haha, love it!

on that note...

News today stated that Italy has the lowest Body Mass Index average whereas North Americans average about much higher - but that's only Females. Strangely enough, Greece, a neighbour to Italy, is the highest in BMI...too much grease in Greece I guess, har har.

we have a whole class of people that wouldn't even DREAM of going to public school, boarding school is just socially compulsory, even though public schools are funded according to income tax zones.

i'm sorry- property tax zones

I realize how stupid it is to have this kind of discussion on this kind of site, but Mayan peoples still exist even if Mayan civilization doesn't. It's just like Americans would still exist if all sorts of aliens in flying saucers and shit came down and knocked over all our buildings. (Didn't you guys ever see Battlefield Earth?)

BMI isn't fat, i'm pretty sure

#105)Around that time the dutch- and british empire were tough concurrents and rivals to eachother.I've to mention in a modest way the Dutch were ruling with iron fist in those days.Just a little european history upgrade for you folks.

I never thought I'd take Mel's side but today I did. Intellectual assholes playing one-up-manship without the graciousness to do so in a letter but doing it in an audience so they can get their jollies off by being a legend in their own mind with their friends at the pub later on. Hecklers with tenure are still hecklers.

That being said, if they got a "Fuck you" out of Mel, I wonder what a bunch of Artie Bohunks like us to get Mel to scream??

lemme guess lowlands, you're a history major?

#116 - I believe 'shits and giggles' would the be exact exclamation.

assistant professors don't have tenure, douchebag

106: They went to the fields and stuff right next to the cities they used to live in. They didn't evaporate because their civilization collapsed. The mystery is *why*, not *what*.

#113: English still exist and Nordic people still exist but they don't come down and rape and pilage the British like they used to and for some "expert" to stand up and say how it was REALLY done is assinine. Especially saying it to a movie maker. He's a movie maker for Fuck's sake. The only true authority I would accept on any ancient civilization would be Monty Python, and they are retired.

#117)I think you need a staight A?Let's talk about this after the lessons.

121: I wasn't making any point beyond the statement of fact.

118: good guess. Eat Me! might be another.

#117) lowland's english not so good.

#32: stroke of genius! not only was it one of my favorite movies but everyone took it in the spirit it was intended - to just have fun and be more accepting of one another. That's why it's on the list (with A Fish Called Wanda) of the 20th century's funniest movies.

I love how every time Mel Gibson is challenged the slightest bit, he flies off the fucking handle. I'm more amused by celebrities showing their true colors (chummy family man really a narcissistic bigot), than celebrities showing their bits...probably because the flashing has gotten old. And gives me nightmares.

Mel deserves what he got. He was asked if he educated himself about Mayans--he said yes, and was shown up on it. Simple as that. So then "fuck off!" become his way to engage in a discussion. Nice guy. Smart, too.

If it was just creative license at work, he should have made a movie in which Catholics do similar shit. God knows their history is bloody enough.

Plus if it was just creative license, he could've just said that.

114: BMI is Body Mass Index. The fatter you are, the higher it is. You figure it by multiplying 703 times your weight and then dividing it by your heightxheight (like 65"x65"). Normal is 25 to 18 with 18 being more ideal for longevity.

Damn it, hes right on this one for Christssakes, sheesh when other cultures are portrayed as bloodthirsty, cruel, violent Whatevs they don't start beefing. So Mels right (for once) "Lady, Fuck off."

91 & 92, we have lots of them in Texas. I might be one, depending on my mood.

To be honest:
thats fuckin awesome. I would've done the same thing. Then I would've yelled "Freedom", beheaded her w/ an axe and run far far away to a jewless land

Mel's a badass either way you cut it. You don't fuck with Mad Max...you just don't

Dude, I graduated with A+s!

#123 I might have to get drunk to understand what you just said....

129# my point was that having a high BMI may or may not mean that you are fat. some people, like mischa barton or paris have a really low BMI, but they have no muscle tone whatsoever, so they are really fatter than someone like jessica biel. more of their body mass is pure fat...

135: Or, y'know… learn to read.

#134- that's cause you went to a public school with peons who set the bar nice and low ;)

naw, university. mediocrity of the masses is a bitch.

do you like the Stone Roses?

He's a cool dude, he bare-backs like a pro

#136 you are right. into excercise? healthy eating? (Sugar is Satan!) the more I do, the more I want to do, wish everybody liked it.

Yay 90 Biatcho! I love anchorman! I'm chasing down leads and practicing my non-regional diction!!

i think he is pretty wacko, in general. this took place at a university, there were professors. who knows if the lady professor is any good, but shit, this is kinda what they do with their lives, sit and debate, analyze, critically dissect a subject. if the woman spent her career looking at mayan history, and talk took place at a university, of course she is gonna wanna hear and get into the discussion. professors do that. it doesn't sound like she asked any wrong questions, but mel did have a choice about how to respond. i mean who can be emotionally healty when you are flipping out so easily? this crazy fuck is like always on the verge of a meltdown. he could have easily responded to discuss his process of researching. of course the movie is not meant to replace a history book, but when i see a movie like this, it would be nice to learn something also. some of us enjoy learning history. it's not all about just being entertained all your life.

please tell me there is video of this...

Ahhhh, Mel...I don't know what to say. Really. Except f*ck off *yourself*, that is.

#84 Good Dr. Phowstus - That's dangerous country - 'cuz what's not Mayan, is urine.

#144 The thing is, this is an idiot charge. And academics can piddle around idiotically more than a Star Trek nerd debating who held the tricorder in episode #68 ("Slothian Mating Time"). And one of the steps to tenure is getting published - so guess who's probably scribbling away in her little office right now on an article for "Mayan Drawn and Quarterly"??

To say that his depictions are "racist", might have been valid if he'd had the Mayans played by white guys with fright wigs and eastern european accents, but he didn't. The Mayans sacrified themselves and other tribes - if you have a problem, take it up with the Mayans, not Mel.

This man is a piece of shit. Luckily for me I've known that since way back in the cowards "braveheart" days when most people were worshiping his crazy ass. See if you make and/or produce or constantly star in movies where you are the star who just happens to be a brave hero, instead of maybe doing something actually brave and heroic with your life it means you are a giant egomaniac loser. Examples: Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Russel Crowe, and Kevin Costner.

#147 Oh, and I meant "you" meaning the professor, not "you" personally, zapatos.

And rightfully so! You go Mel!

The thing I love about Mel is that he's obviously a man deeply devoted to his faith... in a psychotic God of vengeance prone to fly into a rage at the drop of a hat. I don't care how much of a bitch or a PC policewoman that professor was, Gibson, true to form, showed what a fucking prick he remains.

I don't understand why people feel the need to rush to this guy's defence. He's a hateful lunatic who can't get enough of making gratuitously brutal and sadistic films who's bilked millions of dollars from millions of Christians who think that snuff films are deeply religious.

No, you fuck off, Mel.

Haha... Mel is awesome. If you don't like his movies don't go see them... jackasses.

Dear Mayan lady

It's a movie! Have you ever seen a movie that WAS accurate? It's not for education it is for entertainment and to make money. I bet the Mayans would have understood.

Bill

Once again, fucking liberals! And on a second note, you go Mel!

Let's hope the people he killed in Lethal Weapon, don't come back, and tell him he misrepresented a bullet wound...
I would have told those stiff fucking shirts to Fuck themselves, too...
Do you really think the Road Runner gets away every time ?

WOW... you are wrong on so many levels. First of all, the people are generally referred to as the "Maya" and the adjective "Mayan" is only used to describe their language. The Maya fell out of power about three hundred years before Cortez's arrival (when the movie took place), but their descendants still live in the same area of Mexico today. They're still called the Maya because they have similar ways of life and religious beliefs.

Maybe you should see if you can join Victoria Beckham's bookclub... it might help you out a bit.

I just saw the video of the professor speaking about the encounter. Mel is really a badass for shouting at a tiny, soft-spoken, middle-aged woman.

-I think Mel's still pissed off James Cameron is trying to change the ending to his last movie.
- is it 'MAY AN'? or 'MY ANNE'? - or is this not relevant ?
- Australians tend to be straight forward and say what they think. (Maybe that's what's wrong with the rest of us.)
- When Robin Williams sang "Blame Canada" at the Oscars a few years back - we didn't start raining those South Park pricks with hockey pucks. It's like ...a movie.
- I still don't feel like downloading 'Acapulco' (Elvis covered it in the 1960's) - so I agree with Mel. Make your own movie. Because his suck. Maybe have a few Canadian mounties in it or something.

'the Mayan community'? WHAT THE FUCK?? God forbid natives be portrayed as, well, fucking natives. Jesus fucking Christ, it pisses me off when I have to side with Mel Gibson, those fucking assholes!!!!

Hey, I wonder if the Spartan community thinks that "300" is racist?

NUMBER 57 . . . If you can't even spell the word ignorant, perhaps you shouldn't speak.

HE'S A DOUCHEBAG and must die

Shit, c'mon, movies are a prime example of what we call 'writers embellishment'...hell, when u're still one of the top 5 box office draw male actors, u CAN say, "Lady, fuck off !!"

#163 I'd rather hear "Lady, fuck off - make your own movie!" than "Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, you're so glib, Matt."

#164...some people make or are in movies...others watch or are critics...

What state is Maya in? I thought it was in Florida but can't seem to find it on the map.

Mel rules!

The truth is negroes are violent, Jews have most of th money, mexicans will one day dominate the USA, and Muslims want to kill western civilization.

#57 ktboo FUCK YOU!!! Go back to elementary school and learn how to spell the word ignorant. (It's not "ignorent" you dumb shit). Mel rocks, he is the only guy in Hollywood that says what's on his mind and i applaud him for it. These days there are very few movies that are sensible. When compared to other movies Mel is a genious especially now when all of the movies out there are competing for audience by putting in more and more unrealistic "shocking" special effects. You go Mel! (oh and you ktboo can go too...back to elementary school)

Not that anyone cares, but I live about 25 miles from CSUN, so this obviously made the news here, and not a single person at the university supported the "Mayan" (students OR professors). Matter of fact they were interviewed and another profressor said the bitch was out of line. Says volumes when your colleagues won't support you on the issue...Students interviewed said Mel actually handled himself very well considering the way the "heckler" handled herself.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on with him? he seems really disturbed

#170 Just wait - she'll sue him for discrimination because he DIDN'T call her "sugar tits".

mel gibson is a funny cunt.

AUSTRALIA<3MEL

lol seriously everything about him is just hilarious and awesome at the same time.

might add that a video of this would be the perfect christmas gift

p.s. justme is an idiot

Stop talking shit about the mayans...they invented the number zero. And yes they still exist...you white fucks need to educate your selves before you open your mouth!

(and where would we be without zero?)
Well. Ok. Christmas's were tuff. But as long as we had zero to look forward to - there still was Santa.
And it things didn't work out with the Fat Guy. Well,
like you say, #176 - there still was zero.

Getting pretty sick of PC. It's a MOVIE! Recently an INSULT comic came to a city with a large deaf community. There was a protest held because she has said things that were detrimental to deaf people and they wanted the show canceled. So blacks, men, women, Hispanics, gays, every nationality, all OK but, touch on something close to someone and they become indignant. Somehow we have become a society that believes hurt feelings should be outlawed.

(Hummm....a bit metaphorically Charles Dickens-ish there.)
There's also zeros on tests - but let's not go there.
Mayan's Rock ! It's hard for me to get paid without multiple zeros.
And remember: Nothing - Nothing = Mayan invention.
Deal with it.

fuck off people. mel made a pretty accurate film. the mayans were savages THEN, not NOW. so deal with it. i wish he had punched this stupid cunt in the mouth. revisionists, i hate them. mayans sacraficed people. it's a fact. they were savages, that's a fact. so why are they jumping mel? because it's politically correct to do so.
and btw, the jews DID have jesus killed. i dont' know what you assholes don't understand about that.

I went to this school for two years...the chicano studies department here is fuckin ridiculous and hateful, and are known for heckling campus visitors well before this happened

He should've said "Sugartits, fuck off." You can never say "sugartits" too many times.

so uh... when they ever understand that it was just some movie??? when will they ever understand the word fiction!

And why aren't all the white people complaining about Jackie chan for being a racist (his movies with whites and asians, and whites being the villains)??

and what about human sacrifices??? I think it's cool.... so I don't get what they're complaining all about.

the people that perpetuate stereotypes are the dumbasses that attended that conference and then chose to attack a MOVIE, it was a MOVIE and idiots who follow the bandleader that was sugartits, all deserve to be told to fuck off. he did tons of research and did his project, NOONE at the conference actually was alive at the time and can prove anything was false or even exaggerrated. an audience without a personal agenda would have laughed her stupid ass out of the venue.

I just have to say, EVERYONE's ancestors have been someone's bitch (except maybe the vickings). EVERYONE's ancestors have been mean to someone. MOVE ON. Quit trying to milk the system. Quit whining. Its so damn annoying.

The lady had the right to contest it, but Mel should have responded intelligently instead of just swearing at her.

Something like "Yeah, I read up on them a bit. I figured blood and violence is fun to watch and sells tickets, so that is what I focused on. If you want a documentary, go make one."

Whoever controls history controls the present.

Whoever writes history controls the present.

Whoever writes meta-narratives that attempt to define an entire culture controls the image and identity of that entire culture.

Therefore, Mel is a super-cala-fragalistic-expiala-docious-megalomaniacal biatch.

And he wishes he wrote the Bible. But he did the second-most logical thing, and made a movie about it. There. Now he's king of the world, and his name will go down in history beside Jesus Christ.

187

I think saying he will go down in history besides Jesus Christ is a little far fetched. He has turned himself into a joke, and most people don't equate him with Jesus.

Mel didn't start the "violent" stereotype, that has been around for years. I was taught in elementary school that Mayans sacrificed people. He does not control their identity, and this movie does not make him the author of their stereotype.

Tell me what the hell the U.S. is gonna do in less than 40 years when the illegal spics, africans, and asians outnumber the white folks?? Who are the "victims" gonna blame for their troubles then??

I say we got about 4 or five more decades, then the U.S. will collapse like the Soviet Union did. Corruption, destroyed values, and illegals will destroy us, just like the Romans. Then, another Dark Age.

I vote for more comments by StoneRose!

Sorry guys, but I gotta side with Mel on this one.

I, for one, HATE political correctness. Just STFU already!! I don't support what he did and said when he was drunk, and yeah, im sure he def meant those things. But this has gone too far.

Passion of the Christ is not racist, and neither is Apocolypto. Get off your high horses. Btw, the woman never came out and said the movie was unfactual:

"she pushed even further, saying his representations of Mayan sacrificial ceremonies and bloodlst were racist."

Notice how she never said the ceremonies were ficticious?

:: eye roll ::

Go mel!

okay so to my understanding, mel may be an asshole but fuck if he didn't spend a lot of time and effort on this movie. that being said, i'd totally blow my top too, since this chick was obviously looking for a reaction by being all snarky and asking if he even did any research before he spent years of hard work making this movie. and even if they followed his advice and did make their own movie, i bet it wouldn't be as entertaining without the bloodlust stuff...cuz that shit's cool to watch.

@ # 176 Come down off of your high horse, jackass. "Your selves" is ONE word ! Yup ... y-o-u-r-s-e-l-v-e-s. I guess YOU need to "educate" yourself before spouting off.

@ #176 - That was just the most obvious mistake in your post ... there are a few more. Fuck you and the mayan you rode in on.

Mel needs to have a couple of beers and relax.

The media takes every opportunity to criticize Mel Gibson. Fabricating and embellishing stories help further the agenda to corner him and ruin his reputation.
All of this nonsense has been instigated by his comments about Jews.
He is a good man, talented director and actor and knows his material before he presents it in films. The things he said may have been out of line but are not all lies.

ah poor Mel... can't believe once upon a 16-year old dream I wanted to make out with him... ::sniff::

@91 Don't forget Nascar watchin'. I live near some coal mining towns in PA, everyone is related, its kind of scary. No, I'm not originally from here, thank God.

I smell an opportunist wangling for her 15 minutes of fame. And of course some members of the "mayan community" smell a chance for publicity and maybe some money.

When racism is charged for minutae that are debatable anyway, that demeans the serious concerns about real racism. This PhD owes people who are genuinely opressed by racism an apology for playing that card over such a minor, debatable academic triviality.

Mel is no angel, but this incident is ridiculous biting at gants asses. These people had the chance to voice concerns at the time the movie was being made.

It's a freaking movie. It's fiction. What serious scholar is going to put their creds on the line to complain about a fucking work of crap fiction by Mel "I'm swirling the drain and I'm running out of haldol" Gibson?
The ONLY thing these idiots were looking for was publicity.
Losers.

Two-hundred first!!!

What can one expect, being called a racist for doing a hollywood movie is a bit sensitive for Mel. At least he didn't blame the Myans for all the wars of the world.

My ancestors were blood drinking ,human sacrificing ,raping and pillaging sickos. I have no problems with that. But it looks like in South America everyone was a fucking angel right until white man came along. Who is the giant hypocrat here?

Are u f****** serious!?!?!?....I'm sorry but did Mel ever say his movie was a documentary??? Anyone? Anyone? It really pisses me off when people are so damn anal! Get a life! First its the damn Jews complaining because they killed Jesus, now the Mayians are complaing because they brutally murdered young virgians so their "gods" would show mercy on their retarded souls??? OMG This is a freakin' movie.....MOVIE....not a documentary...seriously get a life, so to Africa and help save these starving children whos parents are suffering with aids, or help find the homeless jobs, or adopt an orphan, put ur energy into something useful ans stop comlianing it only makes me think that you seriously need a life or maybe just need to get laid!!

Well people do have a right to get shitty if someone is representing a race totally wrong and in a negative light. Although who the hell would anyone know for sure? This is an ANCIENT civilization.
And he is also right for saying "It's just a movie."
He should have made some good points like everyone has done here, then he really would have shut the woman up about it. But just telling someone to "fuck off"? That just makes him look like an idiot.
If he was really as great as he thinks he is he'd have thought of something smart to say, rather than just comming across as an arrogant asshole who doesn't give a shit about anybody.
... oh wait.

I think Mel Gibson is right and those Mayas are really retarded people.Who's gonna take young virgins to sacrifice them?Every high developed culture knows it's better to take old and useless househags for that.

You know what? I'm gonna just say it: I think...I think Mel Gibson might be the next Chuck Norris --I'm just throwin' it out there.

#207, you mean that Mel Gibson "doesn't really sleep, he waits?"

I think i just hit a parkingpole.I first heard some noise at the backside of my car.After when i came home i saw some kind of securitycamera wrapped around my exhaust-pipe and red paint on the trunk.I blame the Mayas for this!

um sarah,

I don't recall St. Paul, Luke, or John ever saying in their liner notes that the Bible was a non-documentary piece of work, and yet entire cultures have been formed around these 'stories' or rather biased, multi-version, personal accounts, wars fought and won, laws established, maps re-drawn...

never underestimate the power of a simple 'story'.

#176
the mayans didn't invent the number zero, they discovered it. just like they discovered you, the wannabe.

Heres a link to a livescience article about Mayan sacrifices (no virgins described in the article, sorry to disappoint, unless you count six year old boys).

I think the lady is entirely on the ball. Now she should go off and attack the makers of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Or maybe the makers of 'Flubber'.

YES Lady, fuck off! Mel is right.

Someone who was in the class weighs in. She paints a very different picture than the press who want to potray Mel as crazy to make this a juicy story. Read:

http://fox-gloves.livejournal.com/153262.html#cutid1

Mel Gibson is proof that religions, such as Abrahamic monotheist christians, jews and muslims, make people stupid. Unless they're stupid already, in which case they merely welcome them to the flock.

They refer to myths and campfire bullshit stories passed from ancient goatherders as "truth".

Stupid Asses

Theres nothing wrong with telling annoying people to fuck off. When hypersensitve, whiney, ugley (look at the pic of her!) people critisize you at every step for getting insignificant details wrong its understandable that you get a little angry once in a while.
Also, notice how its always the people from crummy cultures (trying to be as politically incorrect as possible here) that get excited about crap like this. You didnt here english people making a scene after braveheart. Or germans complaining after every single ww2 movie. Or japanese people for being portrayed as camera trigger happy. Its always mayans or eskimos (the day i call them inuit is the day the arctic melts) or some other primitve culture.

Im not supporting Mel Gibson but i can understand his reaction; he probably gets accused of racism in every interview he has since what he said about jews which wasnt nice
But i say so fucken what

Im jewish and i really could care less what Gibson or any other hollywood fart thinks about jews, at the end of the day they cant do anything but talk

SO just leave it alone

IN FACT i think his reaction was even mild for the continious accusations

Do we hear the Mexican complaining after they're being portrayed in a movie wearing a sombrero and poncho while sitting reversed on a donkey?Those Mayas really need to fuck off.When you know it better,finance and make your own movie!But when they empty their pockets you'll probably find only some blousebuttons,a paperclip,some beads and a piece of a mirror...Great start to finance your own movie!

I agree with comment #6. It is not his job to know everything, it's a fking movie! And people are always portrayed wrong culturally. I am not even gonna get deep in to it, but think of how many movies make a certain culture out to be a certain way. Fuck that lady, she got what she deserved.

When I make a movie about how Mel Gibson eats Jews, if anyone complains about its accuracy, I will tell them to fuck off because its just a movie.

I saw the movie and it was ok. The only objectionable parts involved a peripheral character, Maya Bhutrhekes.

Wow, lot's of hero-worship here for Mel Gibson. I thought this was a celeb bashing site. I guess it's true, all the hate is disguised love. Maybe you should all book flights to Mel's home so you can kiss his ass in person? Pucker up, losers.

Oh, I'm so embarrassed for the posters of these comments. I love your site, you're hilarious; but so many of your readers must have sh*t for brains.

What the fuck? There's a Mayan rights group now? People will find any reason to bitch nowadays. More power to Mel!!

Where are the Mayans? They live all over the place in the Yucatan. I lived in Playa del Carmen (a little south of Cancun) and there are many of them there. I wonder what they think of the movie. Take a chartered tour of the ruins at Chichen Itza, or other Mayan/Toltec/Olmec ancient cities, and they will tell you there was LOTS of human sacrifice. I'm not defending Mel, though, I think he's a tool.
