Mel Gibson is sorry.
 

Mel Gibson has issued a second apology for his anti-Semitic remarks made after being arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol early Friday morning in Malibu. Gibson said:

"There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of anti-Semitic remark. I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said ... I must assume personal responsibility for my words and apologize directly to those who have been hurt and offended by those words ... please know from my heart that I am not an anti-Semite. I am not a bigot. Hatred of any kind goes against my faith ... I am reaching out to the Jewish community for its help. I know there will be many in that community who will want nothing to do with me, and that would be understandable. But I pray that that door is not forever closed."

So far, only the Anti Defamation League has accepted Gibsons apology. National director Abraham Foxman said:

"This is the apology we had sought and requested. We are glad that Mel Gibson has finally owned up to the fact that he made anti-Semitic remarks, and his apology sounds sincere. We welcome his efforts to repair the damage he has caused, to reach out to the Jewish community, and to seek help."

Hollywood is pretty weird. Mel Gibson got really really drunk and said he didn't like Jews. And everyone agrees that's bad, but when Woody Allen was 52, he was taking naked pictures of and having sex with his 17 year old stepdaughter*. And he was accused of molesting his 8 year old stepdaughter. Roman Polanski drugged and raped a 13 year old when he was 43, then received a standing ovation at the Academy Awards when he won Best Director for "the Pianist". Ron Howard has a private island where he releases homeless people and hunts them, and Tom Hanks is a cannibal. And yet, where's the outrage.

the things I say when I'm drunk I should be in jail if this is the case...or perhaps being "stoned" would be a more fitting punishment

all this other stuff is fact?

i've never heard of ron howard's island or tom hanks being a cannibal.

Hollywood is weird because noone cares about real issues, they care about the next movie or whatever...

lame

insightful

dudes gonna get drunk and say the same **** just make sure less ppl are around next time LOL.....

hes only worried about where the next pay cheque is coming from .... time for him to make good to make alil more dough ..

heeedyat ting dat

i've said worse when ive been hammed, ive said worse to terry on msn hahaha

thats cuz terry is a dirtbag tho...

haha u wish buddy .. im the straight goods tess knows that :love:

haha...here comes the e-lovin again

i don't know about ron or tom, but woody allen didn't make as much news banging the 17 year old daughter of his woman, where a drunk mel gibson making a disparaging remark about jews seems to be something everyone needs to demand an apology about.

people are stupid.

whatever happened to freedom of expression.

I guess when you insult jewish people it is not allowed.

at least the ADL makes a big fuss and complains about apologies, much better than rioting and bombing buildings

i got maddddd e-love to give ..

the defamation league is on his tail since 'passion of the christ' was launched....those guys are just propaganda. the sheriff's office stated clearly...his only wrong doing was driving drunk and i guess...that should be the end of it.

Jewish controls a good portion of American economy. You don't want to piss off your income source.

better question is why anybody cares?....he's just some over-payed actor who is full of himself just like the marjority of them.....

next time i get pulled over, i'm gonna ask the cop if he's a jew.

i want to get an acting career or something out of it.

the "defamation league" sounds so cool...do they have a secret headquarters in a mountainside somewhere and do they sit around a table with a hologram screen and see sh*t in 3d? I bet they have sick DFL costumes and whimsical powers

Haha, they are probably like the dudes in Team America..

exactly...
OMG A CELEBRITY SAID THAT!?

who cares, get lives
