Mel Gibson's Bumper Sticker

(click to enlarge)
I checked my email this morning and a friend had forwarded me some Mel Gibson drunk driving jokes written by someone named Reese L. Here are a few of the jokes and I hope they don't offend:

Joke #1: I thought Mel Gibson was worried about the End Times, but it's the Early Times that have got that guy messed up!

Joke #2: I saw this bumper-sticker on Mel Gibson's car: Swerve If You Love Jesus.

I read the jokes and was inpired to create a bumper sticker - thanks Reese! Additionally, there are others on the blogosphere who are having a similar good time with Mel's predicament. Medium: Ink on paper, photoshop.

Here's a delightful pic of a drunken Mel with two blondes clinging to him as he leaves a bar. A classic.

This press release was just sent to me regarding Mel and his "Vodka Filled Water Bottle". No doubt you'll see this all over the internet, so I'm including only the best parts:

The National Enquirer has exclusively uncovered new details from the night Mel Gibson got arrested and the events that led up to his unraveling. “Mel grabbed a bottle of vodka from behind the bar, poured himself a drink – and filled an empty water bottle with the clear booze,” said an eyewitness. “Then he started sipping out the water bottle. Everyone thought it was just water. It was straight vodka!” ...the immense pressures of filming “Apocalypto” in sweltering Mexico, reduced Mel to a pathetic drunk, who talked to himself, fought with his crew and developed a disturbing nervous tic....
“The bottom line is that Mel went crazy in the jungle,” an insider told the Enquirer. “ He showed up on the set disheveled, confused and talking to himself. He was drinking heavily at night. They’d find him hours later dancing the mambo at local cafes – drunk as a skunk.”

Well, while Len Bourret makes his point quite clearly, I must say I disagree. Also speaking as a Jew, I have to say this: Mel Gibson is a sleazy, biased liar, and I do not believe his "apology" for an instant. He believes that Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world, he believes that the Jews killed Christ, and he denies the Holocaust, just like his father. Thank you, Judit, for so clearly exposing the truth. I really appreciate it.

Celebrities will do anything to improve their image. Drinking only lowers inhibitions; it does not change your innermost, most heartfelt opinions. I am thoroughly disgusted with him and his fake "gesture towards the Jewish community." He can take his "gesture" and shove it.

One more point: do you actually think that the portrayal of Jesus and his death in "Passion" was accurate? Do you really think that someone could actually survive what the Jews supposedly did to torture one of their own people? Get a clue, people.

[Judit R.]

When Mel Gibson made the movie The Passion of Christ he was not drunk. He knew exactly was he was doing. Why I found the movie antisemitic? because of its message. Very simple: Jews are to be blamed for Jesus death. The way he portrait the Roman elite as sensitive and the Jewish elite as evil is unfair and historically wrong. Jesus was one of thousand of jews killed by the Romans. The movie doesn't explain why Jesus was so important and when he is in the cross he is full of blood while the others in the cross have almost no blood. The movie doesn't transmit love but hate.I can't understand how someone can make so much money make so much rubbish.

The Mel Gibson Controversy
by Len Bourret (Copyright 2006)

As a Jewish person, who happens to be gay, I can only respond by saying that Mel Gibson has always been kind to me, to the Jewish community, and to the gay/Jewish community. He has not appeared to be anti-semetic, and has always been respectful to those around him--regarding of their ethic, racial, or sexual orientation. I believe that the alcoholic personality was talking, and not Mel Gibson.

As a human being, Jewish or Non-Jewish, I do not take offense to an otherwise gentle-and-kind Mel Gibson.

There are others who agree:

'Pros' and 'Cons' of the Mel Gibson Controversy...
http://www.sdcitybeat.com/article.php?id=4699

"Mel has apologized profusely for the incident and there the matter should rest. Mel has also indicated his willingness to seek help to overcome his alcoholism and has asked the Jewish community for forgiveness. What more can he do?" -- James Dobson

But, there are others who disagree. Here's what the San Diego CityBEAT has to say about the Mel Gibson controversy:
"First, the matter should not rest. The matter is a matter because it matters. Public discussion of Gibson’s drunken conniption has people talking about important issues: anti-Semitism, drunken driving, sexism, alcoholism and favoritism in police treatment of the rich and famous. Even if Dobson forgives Gibson, he shouldn’t call for the matter to be laid to rest—because the matter is not just a matter of pity for poor, drunken-driving, Jew-hating, arrest-resisting, power-mongering Mel.

True, Dobson is accurate in reporting that Gibson has reached out to the Jewish community for forgiveness. Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, has even graciously offered to help Mel after he gets finished with rehab. But by not owning up to his anti-Semitism, doesn’t Gibson’s reaching out look a little bit like a desperate effort at damage control? And if Gibson is really about to begin this transformation into a decent person, the matter is the opposite of ready for a rest—it’s just starting to matter.

Second, Dobson asks, “What more can he do?” Lots, Jim. Let me share with you some of the suggestions from my fellow Jews, as reported by Jocelyn Noveck of the Associated Press, and then I’ll respond to each suggestion and offer one of my own before I get in the car and drive (sober) to L.A. for a good bagel from Brooklyn Bagel..."

What do you think?

Here I am, Demon Kitty!

Thanks for hitting the nail on the head re: Gibson's Passion. I prefer my grindhouse gore films secular, thanks.

Call me morally bankrupt, but I got no problem with Quatorze lobbing a big fat satiric Molotov cocktail at Gibson's foibles (remember, she's illustrating the gossip, not necessarily the person).

Boundaries on satire--bad. Bumper Sticker--good. Very, very good. And hilarious.

[Sparkles O'Plenty]

I like to see a good old fashioned get drunk on your ass and fall down story.
I remember getting s faced a few times and ending up with some hag and barfing...Good times...

[Frisky Shadowridge]

The alcohol just helped show Mel Gibson's true colors and he really is a pathetic bigot. Hard to believe that crazy eyed, craggy faced old man is the same guy People magazine named as their 1st sexiest man alive. I swear to God I'll never again look over at my husband in disappointment when one of those issues hits the news stands (oops I'm Catholic, I'll have to say a Hail Mary for that one). It will be interesting to see what kind of assholes People's subsequent "sexiests" will turn into.

[Sofia]

I'm not entirely sure why we should care about what Mel Gibson says. I just can't see how it's any different than any drunk yelling obscenities on the street, they're both smashed and clearly lacking sense. He got drunk and acted like a complete dick so now his opinion is worthless. He's human... and he fucked up. Case closed.

[Anon]

I know a guy who worked on Apocalypto and he said that Mel was asked to move from his rented house by the Mexican police because prostitutes and drug dealers were becoming frequent visitors. The neighbors were afraid for their safety.

Mel was out drinking every evening and my friend told me he would always drink the other guys on the crew under the table.

The people who worked on the film went to Mexico for what was supposed to be a three month production and ended up staying eight long months due to Mel's drunken behavior.

[libraesque]

So one of the girls he was hanging out with, who was interviewed on national tv, who said she asked him what he was drinking and he said "water, very expensive water" so she took a sip and it was water.....she was lying?????

[Devin]

I've always been a Gibson fan since MAD MAX as a kid, and c'mon...Martin Riggs is one of the most interesting characters in cinematic history from LETHAL WEAPON. Mel's a great actor when he wants to be and has proven himself a credible director; I think he probably pushed it a little far with PASSION, I didn't see that one. I certainly don't agree with his statements or beliefs to be sure, but he obviously isn't healthy and it appears that he is putting forth an effort at least to correct this debacle. I am a great fan of your work, 14, you are "brilliant" :) as everyone here will attest and yes, Mel DOES resemble Rodney Dangerfield! But as a recovering rummy myself...I feel for the poor bastard.

K, You are perceptive, indeed. Good think my spacebar is working now, huh? Bea

[14]

Richard:

He looks like Soupy Sales' brother? YAY! I like you!

The original sketch of Mel is still sitting here on my desk and everytime I glance at it, I think it's Rodney Dangerfield for a split second. It scares me a little.

thanks everyone! xoxo

[richard]

Is it me, or does Mel look like Soupy Sales' brother?

What a great site! Thanks, 14.

[Michael]

I will buy one for me and all of my friends. This is genius.

[Morrigan]

Demon Kitty: Once again, all I can say is ditto! Thousands died in cruxifiction, and it's a horrible way to go. Jesus was more than his death. The passion plays of the past were the Church's way of scaring it's parishioners into giving them more money. I may have gone to the movie, had it been more than just his death.

[jafabrit]

Just discovered you blog and I LOVE it. very sharp with great art. the bumper sticker is brilliant LOL!

[K]

I think Bea and Kim are the same person, because neither one of them has a space bar, apparently.

Mel is now over, good think he made so much money on the Passion, he's never working again. He'll be like O.J.

[Pamela]

I've liked some of your works in their ability to let the hot air out of pumped up celebrities- but poking fun at alcoholism isn't funny. It isn't cute, and you are lowering your standards with cheap shots.

[Demon Kitty]

God, I am really sorry I fucking mentioned "The Passion of Christ". I really didn't want to talk about Gawd ... where is Viper Tetsu?

[Demon Kitty]

Dear Jesse,
I am in not a historian and in no position to debate the historical accuracy of anything, but Gibson took the violence and gore to the extreme in that movie. The bloodbath was fucking overwhelming and overshawdowed anything and everything. You couldn't think of Jesus as the embodiment of forgiveness, compassion, and love because Gibson was too hell bent on showing Jesus being turned into raw hamburger meat on sticks. That is what I found hateful. Yeah, I get it, he suffered. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that being beaten, crucified, and stabbled with a sword must hurt like hell. So what was Gibson's point? Thousands of people have suffered fates just as horrific, why was Gibson not as interested in showing us what made Jesus different from them?

[Bea]

Kim,I admire your kind heart & desire not to judge Mel.Mel,will be strong & get through this because Mel,loves Jesus,as much as Jesus,loves Mel.Mel,is a kind person,like you,Kim,and does'not deserve this ridicule.Syke!Mel,has a long history of judging Jews,and,gays,and who,knows who else and deserves every,bit of this!I'am truly,happy Kim,when,people like Mel,get long overdue comeuppance.B

[Jesus]

Hey I feel sorry for Mel. He did ask for forgiveness from the Jewish community and I believe they have to forgive him, it's in their religion. Plus maybe in rehab he can figure out why he says those hateful things and become a better person. He also needs to appoligize to the gay community, women in general, people of different ethnic backgrounds than his, etc. etc. etc, and the nice lady cop he called sugar-tits. He has already appologized to the Jewish Cop.

Mel is in pain, look at the pics they published at the bar, cover up his mouth with your hand and just look at his eyes, that dude is in pain. I say, MEL MUST PAY, but then forgive him, hopefully something good will come out of this bad. Maybe a new movie from him depicting this scenario? I don't think he should be Blacklisted from Hollywood, I think Hollywood should be helping one of their own who is in alot of pain. You can't tell me that some of his pain is because of Hollywood.....

[midevil]

Yeehaw!

[m1t0s1s]

If he's truly anti-semitic, which we all know he is, why can't he ad least be a man and admit it? Being anti-semitic is horrid, but it's not illegal.

[Jesse Franco]

14, you are amazingly talented and I love your website. My question, however, is for DeeDee. How is it that you knew Mel Gibson was "crazy and hateful" when he made "The Passion of the Christ". Do you debate the historical accuracy of the film? What was "hateful" about the film?

[Plo]

LUV The Bubbles!!

Mel Gibson is a big fat rat.
And the worst part is now he's so freaked about revealing his true feelings that he's whining to the Jewish community to help him "heal."

If he's truly anti-semitic, which we all know he is, whi can't he ad least be a man and admit it? Being anti-semitic is horrid, but it's not illegal.
All his Mel-made movies have been bloody violence-fests.
Nothing he says or does honors Jesus.

[Dave Hater]

Kim, Kim, Kim; Jesus---whose great great grandpappy was, you guessed it, named Dave---emailed me and told me that while He doesn't condone people judging their peers (except, of course, while doing jury duty) or throwing stones (unless you are Shirley Jackson), He's not real happy with that whole "The Holocaust never happened" thing or the slagging of His relatives. Plus, he's pretty sure Mel should have stopped making movies after that first Mad Max flick, but he's only the Son of God, so he doesn't get to do nearly as much smiting as he'd like. He still loves Mel, of course, that's his job. But he doesn't *like* him very much.

[Kim]

I for one am praying for Mel,a brother in Christ.Mel,needs understanding & love now not criticisms.Mel, will come out of this,He loves Jesus,and Jesus loves him.In the words of Jesus,"Anyone who is without sin,let him throw the first stone". or in simple english."How would you feel if people put you down when you were feeling low?"I'am a Mel Gibson,admirer,always have been & always will be!Mel, You are loved in Jesus!Kim.

[Trevor Pitt]

Nice! I love the goofy "drunk bubbles" behind Melle Mel. They remind me of the Three Stooges' short films, where anyone that's drunk hiccups and out comes a load of bubbles.

Hey, this might be Jesus' fault. After all, that crazy magician is the one that turned water into wine. How could Mel resist Jesus Juice, or anything else with alcohol in it?!

[Long Island Irish]

That is hilarious! "Mel went crazy in the jungle" LMAO!!!! :D

[Damien]

OMG, at least his mugshot looked pretty good (well sort of). If Mel was a Hollywierd animal would he be a Tequilla worm?

Naughty, naughty boy.

[k]

you don't dissapoint. love your work.
please, sell these :)

[Cyclops Kitten Natividad]

I love the red around the ice blue eyes. Perfect.

Religious zealots of any stripe (Catholic like Mel, Kabbalah or whatever it is this week with Flounder-face Ciccone, Scientology like T. Cruise, or even Brittney's Baby) all suck. It sure would be fun to sit back and watch a holy war with all these short egomaniacs going at it bare knuckles. Who do you think would win? I'm betting on Cruise, just because the sparkle of his giant teeth would blind his opponents long enough for him to call in the spaceships as backup.

[Tamara]

Do you make a living from this blog or from this artwork? Because you really should. You are so unbelievably talented! This bumper sticker cracks me up.

[Ignatz]

Thank you for the laugh at work!

[penname]

EXCELLENT!

[salmonella]

Love it, 14! Keep them coming!

[Marie]

I'm making a promise to visit your site more often. I can't believe how hard you work! As always you're too funny for words. Thanks for your sharp eye and wit.

[Demon Kitty]

I knew this bitch was crazy and hateful when he made "The Passion of Christ". I eagerly await Tom Cruise's "The Passion of L. Ron".

Demon Kitty

[Dee Dee]

Girl!!! You are killing me! 14 you remind me of my childhood friend, Mad Magazine.

[Morrigan]

Ack! I love it, 14! You should sell these! I know I'd want at least one.
