Another Bit of Humor: Beirut Names Street After Mel Gibson

Beirut Names Street After Mel Gibson

Drink Drive Comments 'despicable'

Comments made to police officers by actor Mel Gibson during his arrest for drink driving this week, have come to the attention of the Lebanon authorities, we have learned.

A spokesman told us:

"The comments were very encouraging and the least we can do is to name a street after him."

Signs for Mel Gibson Avenue were quickly erected under cover of dark last night.

Israeli secret service quickly rushed out new aerial maps of Beirut which included the position of Mel Gibson Avenue.

Mel Gibson Avenue was promptly flattened to the ground at 0400 this morning.





Mel Gibson Avenue, Beirut, this morning


We have decided not to repeat what Gibson actually said to arresting officers as all our readers can read it for themselves on website tmz.com.

A video tape of Gibson ranting whilst being breath-tested by police has a current street value of $20,000.

In other news. Entertainment. Lethal Weapon was the most popular foreign movie in the Gaza strip last week.



================

Read this (from here):-

Over the next several months, Gibson and his handlers will do everything in their power to remind people of his good deeds and faith.

They have started already, recasting him as a victim of alcoholism and depression who lost his way under the pressures of fame. They will say that he made a big mistake, and that he deeply regrets it and wants to put it behind him.

Then he will sit down with Oprah and shed some tears, and perhaps throw himself on the mercy of a rabbi or two.

Audiences have short memories and may decide to forgive and forget. But make no mistake about it - the movers and shakers in Hollywood will keep their distance from Gibson.

Their business is selling fantasy, and he can't offer them that commodity any more.
