Take a look at this bozo: www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/28/gibson.dui/index.htmlHave you ever noticed how celebrities get alot of negative attention in the press... and yet, when they do something wrong, they usually get off with a simple slap on the wrist? Does the negative press these people receive make up for the lack of retribution they face when they break the law? |

He paid $5,000 for bond. That's a pretty fair price for his crime. It'll only make him more popular in the short-term though.

Gibson... he's a joke. If he wants to make movies about Jesus, I suggest he start acting like him.

Anyone find it strange he's having something like this with a new movie coming out, in what? Five months? Stinks of PR saying "Yeah, get yourself out there in the media in any way you can." I don't need to state other examples of this working  |

[rant] It just bugs me that all the soccer moms in the world need celebrities to gossip about, when if mel gibson was just some random guy noone would even know about this. Everyone blames the media... Yet they fuel it because their life is too dull to not follow it like a lost puppy. [/rant] Either everyone has their face publiclay humiliated for the crimes they commit your you leave celebrities alone I say. |

Well, considering that most people get off with nothing more than a slap on the wrist for D.U.I.s, I don't think it has much to do with it being Mel Gibson. Besides, it hsn't even gone to trial yet.

Everyone disgraces themselves. I have, and most people deserve a second chance.

There's a lot to be said for apologizing.
There's a lot more to be said for learning from your mistakes.
There's something truely unique and special about learning from others' mistakes and never making those mistakes yourself.

I'm stressed a lot of the time. I don't drink alcohol or make inappropriate comments to people in public. It was his decision to behave the way he did. Good for him anyway, admitting he has a problem.

The media has an extremely short attention span, when something new starts they forget about something else. I don't see this changing, but I don't really care about celebrities anyway.

Jesus, he said some Anti-Jewish things too... Alcohol = T3h maker of not-meant-words. The blanket statement I always make in all things related to drunken stupidity: "If they poured it down your throat against your will, you can use your drunkenness as an excuse. If not, don't whine to me about it." And no, that's still not me feeling "superior", in case Britney wants to jump on that. It's simply a sane, logical truth. Anyone who disagrees is clearly insane or suffers from poor judgement. |

Meh, I can't say I agree on that. People have always said I am a little insane, anyway.  |

If someone has no control over their mind, and have done nothing illegal, then I do not see a reason to crucify them. However, since he did something illegal, his going into rehabilitation was a good step towards curing his drinking problem.
