Pretty soon, Newsweek and Time will start to try to justify the pologimist marriages, the incestous relationships with kids, the multiple marriages of many religious groups around the country, and all of the etcs.....Then they will get follywood into the deal....all the while, missing anything of much import around the Middle East, NK, Gaza, and other places of problems in the world.

it's snide, like we'll never forgive you for making "The Passion," and most of all we'll never forgive you for making it a success

Well, Gibson's dad is a whacko. But you totally distorted what the article said. To wit: "The Passion experience--especially the part in which critics hurled anti-Semitism charges at Gibson, an ultraconservative Roman Catholic whose father has questioned whether the Holocaust happened--thickened Gibson's hide along with his wallet. So if there are complaints about Apocalypto's portrayal of human sacrifice by the Maya, whose mostly impoverished descendants today are a cause célèbre for liberals, Gibson says he won't care. "After what I experienced with The Passion, I frankly don't give a flying f___ about much of what those critics think." It's true, the critics did tar him for being anti-Semitic, in part because of his whacko father. Right here on PFP. But he's not. And the article, as a whole, was very complimentary. Looks like a great movie. Although you probably won't see it. Two reasons -- it's pro-environment, and Gibson says stuff like this about the bad guys in the movie: "The fearmongering we depict in this film reminds me a little of President Bush and his guys." Not to worry. Many will formulate their opinions based on what they're told by Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, et al., and will not hesitate to express those opinions, alternating with saying nasty things about how the media misleads people.
