CELEB: Mel Gibson Pleads No Contest to DUI Charges

Mel Gibson pleaded no contest to charges stemming from his drunk-driving debacle last month. The District Attorney charged Gibson with a misdemeanor, and sentenced the actor to three years’ probation. Gibson’s attorney appeared before the Superior Court judge in place of Gibson.

In exchange for the plea, the DA dropped two of the three counts against Gibson. The actor volunteered to appear in public service announcements denouncing drinking and driving, and he agreed to enter rehab to treat his alcoholism. In addition, the agreement required him to attend AA meetings, pay a small fine, and relinquish his license for three months. Gibson’s attorney, Gina Satriano, said everyone involved is pleased with the outcome.

Gibson was arrested July 28th after police officers stopped him for reckless driving on California’s Pacific Coast Highway. While questioned by police, Gibson began his famous anti-Semitic tirade in which he stated, “the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." He later apologized for his "belligerent behavior" and "despicable" remarks.

Ah, gotta love being a celebrity. The things you can do and say and only get a slap on the wrist.

That's it, I'm going to Hollywood, becoming a star, and eating a baby. Then I can, to paraphrase Denis Leary, get on the front cover of People saying "Sorry! I Fucked Up!"

-TM

Leave the road Warrior alone........he was forgiven for his remarks and it should not matter what he thinks anyway.......opinions are opinions.

Wow, you're an asshole. Of course that's just my opinion.
Which is okay, right?

AND you're drunk, which makes it double ok.

who forgave him? have all the jews signed a petition?

oh yeah? well i'm opinionated, drunk, AND catholic! i'm unstoppable!

game, set, match, sugar tits!

Oh god, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make him do the PSAs in character as Mad Max.

He must've gone to confession and repented.
Or something.

I'm Mad Max. Kids, Remember to buckle up.

The more you know, the more you grow.

Just hypothetically, would it have caused the same sensation if he had said the Muslims were responsible for all the wars, etc? What about X-tians (pretending he's not one for just a moment)?

My observation is that unfounded hate speech seems to cause a greater stir when directed at the Jewish people. I'm curious if anyone else thinks this is true, and if so, more than a little silly considering the very different world stage we play on today.

and the more you grow, the more you blow,

and the more you blow, the more you charge to keep your pimp from giving you a black eye BITCH!..

chika chika bowwow!!

you guys have it so good... I'm just a plain old asshole

No, it pretty much would have been equally despicable.

Believe me, I'm with you on that.

I meant that I've noticed what seems to be a good many people who get extra touchy when someone is hurling stupid Jewish hate remarks. Even more than with hate directed towards other groups. I think this is ridiculous.

Someone went and said he was famous.... he misheard and thought that someone said he was GOD......

What an asswipe that guy is.

And the jew thing aside, why does he have to drink and drive? When you reach a certain level of fame don't you have people to drive you?

Whew!! Ok. Now TEAM MEL has to do some serious damage control before Apocolyptico premires!!!!

I kow. He could just hire a limo to take him anywhere!!! Then he could gettinko and no one would know. he could take a limo to New York if he wanted!!!! what a doofus!!!

I'm just sad that Alyk didn't take this opportunity to show us another picture of Mel looking craaaaaaazy in his massive beard.
