Naturally, Mel Gibson's doubling down on his widely criticized move to bring back the anti-Semetic "The Passion of the Christ" BS from the middle ages. Even before the first movie, an image had been put around showing what the actual Jesus might have looked like. Somehow, Mel missed the note.

Below is my rendition of him greeting ol' Mel in some celebrity function in heaven.

Jesus greeting Mel Gibson in Heaven

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
