Comic Relief For Mel



Rob Schneider, star of cinematic milestones such as The Animal and The Hot Chick has taken out a full page ad (I'm not making this up) in a Hollywood trade paper, announcing that he'll never work with Mel Gibson because of Gibson's DUI arrest, during which Gibson made anti-Semitic remarks:

The ad stated: "I, Rob Schneider, a 1/2 Jew, pledge from this day forth to never work with Mel Gibson, actor-director-producer and anti-Semite."

Schneider also supported Hollywood talent agent Bernie Brillstein for disassociating himself with Gibson, claiming: "I just don't like bigots."


Oh, well… so much for Mel's planned epic "The Passion Of The Gigolo".

Of course, we can only fear that things will get worse from here. Who knows, maybe Carrot Top will be the next big star to boycott Gibson.

A number of legitimate Jewish groups have reached out to Gibson following his apology for the remarks he made during his arrest. Of course, these groups are largely made up of people who practice Judaism as a religion and a way of life, rather than Hollywood Jews who merely see their religion as a political trump card.

Of course, Jews aren't the only ones taking the "Holier Than Thou" route with regard to Mel's mistakes. Just look around the blogosphere, hypocrites are crawling out of the woodwork everywhere. ;)

Hmmm...

I think it might be other way around (with or without the DUI).

Mel Gibson would never work with him.


As far as all of this stuff goes...

This is an opportunity for an outspoken Christian that has "fallen from grace" to be skewered by the anti-Christian folks.

No man is without sin. No not one.

later...
 
I'm thinking of boycotting YOU, now that you've made anti-schneidertic remarks. Didn't you SEE "The Hot Chick"? How could you say such things?

**turns his back on southcon**

**turns around and forgives southcon**

Hey Darrell, how the heck are ya, buddy? :-)
 
I'm pretty sure Schneiders made some jokes while sober, but I guess he's allowed.

"Mel...the Melster...makin antisemtic remarks..remarkarinooo...meee...need attention...the Robinator...Robarino...takin out a full page ad...wasting moneyyy..."

What a ridiculous story. Mature adults apologize for their mistakes, and other mature adults accept apologies and move on.

"No man is without sin. No not one."

Amen, TJ. Well put.
 
I just thought that was a relatively inexpensive p r play for Schneider; after all, he did say he wouldn't take the lead in The Passion of the Christ 2 ---even if Mel asked him
 
Lorna: I just thought that was a relatively inexpensive p r play for Schneider

Oh, I agree... a desperate, obvious one... but to make such a play at the expense of something so personally painful and difficult on so many levels for so many people... I'll put it this way, I will never work with Rob Schneider, even if I were offered a big juicy part in The Bench Warmers Part 2.
 
I didn't know Schneider worked with anyone except Adam Sandler. At least, he's the only person that'll give him work.
