Can't We Just Forgive Mel Gibson?
Give the Guy a Break!
It is a shame that he can't stay consistently sober. Not only was his last relapse with alcohol put all over the news and tabloids but it also emphasized what comments he made while he was drunk! They were racist and brought to mind warped religious beliefs. He went on television to apologize. That's humiliation enough.
How many of us go on national television to say "Sorry I said a bad thing?"
It doesn't change his creativity, work ethic, entertainment he has given us all, or vision.
So how about forgiving Mel? His comments were horrendous, yes, however I know many other celebrities who have made just as many mistakes...Hugh Grant to bring up one example. Hugh has been forgiven. Maybe people expect more from Mel. If so, let him fall off the pedestal. He is a human being like the rest of us.
What does a celebrities personal life have to do with the average consumer? Sure it matters, but not to the extent that media has made it. He put his foot in his mouth when he didn't have good discipline about what was coming out of it. Okay, it's done and over with and let's just let the man do his job. How about it?

Y'know, I've felt this way a long time. i think people were WAY to hard on this guy, not so much for his FAULTS, but for being good looking, conservative, rich, and now middle aged. Since the Passion movie- which he had every right to make- leftest people have mocked him. I think he may have already felt alienated in Hollywood, and that kind of treatment just made it worse. His lash out wile intoxicated can almost be viewed as a cry for help. But people were to busy shaking thee heads in a attempt to proove how righteous they were. One out of two people ants to be hard on him, and there is even this talk of him being a crazed bigot long after he apologized and tried to move on with his life. I believe it could be said that this alienated him furthur, producing the kind of nervous, defensive, transparently insecure "cocky" Mel we see today. This latest "scandal" or quarrel is sad to watch, and it's hard to know what's really happening.
Mel, if you're still half trying, we're out t
You're right that not many people would publicly apologise like that.
