I am still jumpy after seeing Apocalypto, but it seems Armenians need not fear the wrath of Gibson. The picture above - when clicked and enlarged - claims that Mel Gibson had an outburst of sorts in Malibu in the summer of 2006. The contents of this outburst involve Gibson saying that he respects and admires our ethnicity and hates the "bastard Turkish brutes."
Does it matter if Mad Max is pro-Armenian? Realize that half of Hollywood - and you know which half - hates this guy to the core, so any association with Gibson is a liability these days. It's sort of like, "Oh, Mel Gibson said he likes Armenians? Well, I guess we know what that says about Armenians!" Maybe not really, but guilt by association is a nasty thing.
Keep in mind that this clip is from the National Enquirer, which among other things, asserts that Clint Eastwood is an alien from some still-unknown planet. No joke.

I tried to check the veracity of the alleged Gibson comments both at the Enquirer website and online. To date, I cannot confirm that this article even exists. The word on the street is that this is a Photo-Chopped propaganda piece and that the even never actually took place. I anyone can confirm that this is, in fact, a GENUINE article from the Enquirer, then please let me know.
Hey Greg,
Thanks for the information. It could be worthwhile trying to directly contact NE.
If anyone can know for sure, do let us know!
I resent the implication that "you know which half" has a reason to find Gibson objectionable and that the reasons for distancing oneself from his comments come down to considerations of guilt by association. How about the fact that he is a bigot? Isn't that a reason for you?
Why do you resent it? It's fact. :)
