I kinda recused myself from all of the Mel Gibson crazy that’s been happening over the last few weeks, but it is on every news network. All of them. Literally, not figuratively.

I cannot run from it even when I’m in the gym, paying some idiot-company money for the privilege of walking up imaginary steps like a hamster.

I finally listened to an excerpt of the Mel Gibson crazy just now, and it is awful, but also, predictable.

“Whaaaattt?!!???!?! You are telling me that Mel Gibson, who made his hundreds of millions of dollars playing emotionally unstable and extremely violent characters, is emotionally unstable and violent, HIMSELF?!!??!??”

Boo, us. Let’s please stop paying attention to this obviously insane man. Who gives a fuck what he said? He is going to court, will plea out due to his very expensive lawyer, then his career is wrecked. Good. He is an awful human being, and deserves what he gets.

I don’t want any more of this garbage assaulting my brain. Let’s all just agree to please stop.

the free clinic?

Me, too – the world needs more Will Arnett in it.

And at a meta-level, how is this infomercial not a great thing? Ultimately, every actor is getting paid by advertisers in the end. Why not just make the arrangement up front, then wink and nod and get the required number of brand mentions out of the way? So long as it allows Will Arnett and Jason Bateman latitude to do whatever they like in making 3-minute videos, I think we all win.

Really – just how lazy do you have to be to call a slow-mo montage of that bunch of nutsacks staring moodily into the distance while wearing sunglasses a “season promo”?
