Mel Gibson Calls Reporter An A-Hole
One of the things I really dislike about this WGN interview is they are trying to be cute with the television next to the reporter. What this means for the viewer is we can't see Mel Gibson's really red face. My conspiracy theory of the day is that Mel was drinking. It looks like a Starbucks cup and yet you hear ice at the end of the interview when Mel sucks it down. Starbucks puts ice in clear cups and not the ones used for coffee. If you wanted to hide a certain type of beverage though, the coffee cups make an excellent hiding spot. Just saying.
Anyway, in the interview, the reporter asks a very benign question about whether Mel thinks the public perceives him any differently now than four years ago. It is a fair question. Mel seems to think the reporter should only be asking him about things Mel likes to talk about like Mel and movies Mel makes. The reporter didn't even ask any tough questions but Mel still decided to call him an asshole.
What especially made me mad was this quote from Mel. "I have done the necessary mea culpas." Really? So, you were just faking them? It was something you felt forced to do and didn't really feel were warranted? That to me just says he is the asshole. I guess now he will do some more mea culpas. Maybe a quick trip to rehab or a story about how his new born keeps him up at night. Uh huh.
