When Mel gets angry, he has a very interesting method of coping with that anger. I suggest everyone listen to this immediately:

It's the real Mel Gibson, there's no question about it in any way. Here's what he says to this woman. And I quote, directly:
This has already gotten some attention (predictably) for containing the "n" word and maybe that's fair. Though I scoff at the trivializing of this rant just because of one word. He clearly had more of an ax to grind than just to say that. People never investigate the intention, they just immediately react. It's worth mentioning that I heard this following exchange spoken on Wednesday night, by people I knew:
Person 1 (agitated): "What the... Look- there's one over there!"
(I look, and don't see anything but 3 people walking down the left side of the street, one of whom is black- at this point, I assume it must be an amusing vanity plate on someone's car or someone driving an amusing car)
Person 1 (continues, in high pitched frustrated voice): "They're over there, too..."
(I look, and see what look like 2 or 3 more people walking on the right, 2 of whom are black)
Person 1: "What are they doing here?"
Person 2 (unphased by Person 1's outbursts, lazily replies): "Pretty soon, it won't be our country anymore."
So, all of the public outrage over the usage of this word in a clearly hateful context is understandable. But will it lead to anyone challenging the beliefs that have been programmed into our culture (much of it coming from the Bush ((Cheney)) Administration and Republicans-Conservatives in general)? Obviously not. Not if Person 1 in the example above can actually say something like that just a few weeks after we watched a History Channel special about the Ku Klux Klan. I walked out after a short time, disgusted by his hypocrisy.

- "you're doing something... trying to breast feed with, uh, fucking foreign bodies in you."
- "Oh, okay- so you're not lying to me about fake tits." When she denies, "yes, you just did. You said they weren't. You just fucking lied to me before!" Later; "they look ridiculous. Get rid of 'em, why don't you." "They look stupid (...) Keep 'em if you want (...) See if I give a fuck! But they're too big (...) They look like some Vegas bitch, they look like a Vegas whore! And you go around, sashaying around in your tight clothes (...) I won't stand for that anymore."
Lovely so far, right? You think he's done... Not by a long shot. He continues, becoming agitated after she gives him glib, nearly drunken responses: - "You fucking do- you go out in public and it's a fuckin' embarrassment to me! You look like a fucking bitch on heat, and if you get raped by a pack a' niggers, it'll be your fault! Alright?" Because...
- She "provoked it." He says she is "provocatively dressed all the time! With your fake boobs you feel you have to show off in tight outfits and tight pants ('til) we can see your pussy! (...)"
- And this one's the topper: "Stay in the fucking house! I'm not giving it to you but I'll let you stay there. Okay? And I will take care of my child..."
