Passion of Me

What did I learn today? If you cross Mel Gibson, he’ll want your “intestines on a stick”. Um. I think that last sentence was filled with puns. I just can’t identify them at the moment. Ever the news source, LA Weekly did three pieces focused on Mad Mel’s movie. Let me just interject before I get into what I’m going to say, Liz Phair’s last album warranted FOUR reviews from them. Read into that what you will. Anyhow, of the three pieces, I think this one by John Powers best captures the madness of what is going on around the film. One sentence in this article gives the best indictment of Americans as I’ve ever read:

More and more, Americans address huge social issues not on news shows, op-ed pages or the campaign trail, but through popular culture.

[interjection: I have this annoying habit of going on and on about things without once stating my opinion on the subject at hand. Look at this entire post. I’ll correct it right now.] All of this goes to show that I should be god. In 2000 years, I want people to make a stupid little movie about me and have loads and loads of controversy. Is it selfish? Yes. But apparently so was Jesus (cuz he gives bad blowjobs, but that’s another thing entirely). That’s all I have to say about that. Uno más All of this talk about gay marriage and it being a detriment to hetero marriages is getting me mad. Like I said in a comment to travvvv‘s post, if they were scared about us fags, they would raise the terror level to orange. So fuck them. I hope all of their kids become queer, get AIDS and bleed into the family’s breakfast cereal.
