How the web gave ‘Mad Max-gate’ its thunder
Steve Safran August 1st, 2006
In the old days of Hollywood, a good press agent was all you needed to keep a star’s indescretions out of the papers. No more. The New York Times looks at how new media meant Mel’s drunken, anti-semitic tirade had no chance of being covered up. Once it hit TMZ.com, it was world news within hours. And this editorial: This story is different than most celebrity gossip. Mel denied that The Passion of the Christ was anti-Semitic. I believed him. He is making a movie about the Holocaust. This rant of his has me wondering whether these are Mel’s true colors.

who gives a flying f#ck?
would you have preferred he called them “BARBARIC JEWS” instead?
visit these sites at your own peril: fromisraeltolebanon.com or fromisraeltolebanon.info .
even a good jewish press agent couldn’t keep these “indescretions” out of the new media.
and to think that smiling young lebanese boy who lost his right arm at the shoulder is one of the lucky ones.
now, let’s eat some cake.

Which are his “true colors,” the anti-Semitic early conditioning from his father that comes out when he’s drunk, or the part of him that has struggled to overcome that conditioning?
