Seriously, A**hole: Mel Gibson Has Changed For the Better
Everything was going so well for Mel Gibson in his return to acting after eight years away -- or at least it was until Tuesday, when for some unknown reason Gibson appeared on Chicago TV to talk up Edge of Darkness and ultimately be ambushed by a host who put the "entertainment" back in "entertainment reporter." Gibson, bless his heart, wasn't standing for it, wincing at mentions of his troubled past before finally signing off with a grudging A-word salute. Click through for the video.
Let's be honest: Considering his drunken, anti-Semitic infractions of recent years, Gibson made it through the press gantlet relatively unscathed (and with decent Darkness reviews and box-office to boot). Jimmy Kimmel's ball-busting notwithstanding, someone earnest and probing like this was bound to come along eventually to exhume the actor/director's demons, however disingenuous and condescending that process may be. Let's just hope for an apology and a rematch eight or nine months from now, featuring Gibson again swigging coffee in disgust before dismissing creatively worded questions about Jodie Foster's Beaver.

C'mon Mel - where's your IQ? Just smile and say "yes" to the idiotic questions from the jerkoff reporter.
"You know, I've had it with this bald jerk! Bring out Sugar Tits, let me talk to her!"
Apparently the title is an anatomical reference. Nice callback Mr. Gibson, well played.
How many times does Mel have to ask the guy to move on??? I think Mel is right, the guy is an A$$hole.
There's only one way to settle this...Thunderdome!
