Mel Gets Academic!
Categorized under Historia , Humor , Latin America , Raza | Tags: The Gibson
HERE AT THE UNAPOLOGETIC MELWATCH, we have been alerted to an instance of Mr. Gibson brilliantly responding to an educated woman confronting him on his film's racist portrayal of the Mayan people. Watch the hips on this dancefloor wonder as he parries the pointed passion of an assistant professor:
After Gibson's presentation, the crowd was allowed to ask questions. Alicia Estrada, an Assistant Professor of Central American Studies at CSUN, challenged Gibson, asking him if he had read about the Mayan culture before shooting the controversial film. Gibson said he had.
Okay, good, good. So far Mel's holding his own. Brave heart in that one. But it's about to heat up, Gibby.
Estrada persisted, stating that representations in the movie that the Mayans engaged in sacrificial ceremonies and had bloodthirsty tendencies were both wrong and racist. Estrada and others tell TMZ that Gibson exploded in anger, responding, 'Lady, F**k off.'
Ooh! Smooth. That old rogue. Nothing like evading an intelligent accusation with a few asteriks! And note how he reached above her intelligent level of inquiry into a hidden layer of strength!
We're told Gibson also became extremely angry when members of the Mayan community protested on how they were portrayed in the film. The emotional Mayan members were escorted out of the room, and we're told Gibson screamed a parting shot -- 'Make your own movie!'
He showed those ungrateful Mayans! No more movies for you! Because you can't afford to make your own movie! HA!
But to be honest, I'm not about anger today. I feel for the man. And I do hope someone got around to changing his diaper. Or giving him a drink. Or a bible. An education. Something.

That's brilliant, Sylvia!
Unfortunately, I think this is the most intelligent and inoffensive Mel has been in years...

sugar cookies. that would certainly be a way to disarm someone. call them "sugar cookie." while playing an air drum.
mel is a tiny man. a bullying brat prima donna. and contemptuous. i mean, at least have lines thought up. can he really not have anticipated by now, what with all the press generated and counter generated that he might hear this. to spout off saying "fuck off lady" is just disgusting contempt, he ain't no michaelangelo. he don't have room to act like that. and he could at least pretend he cares about the people he's used in selling his doomsday visions to the popcorn-chomping public.
