My only advice for Mel is to flog himself. Rigorous self-mortification of the flesh, like self-flagellation, will bring him closer to the pain of Christ and lead him to purification and final deliverance. And it would probably fit well with his particular brand of medeival Catholicism.
Oh ... OK, throw in some thumbscrews and a rack.
Should Mel Gibson apologise?
The one thing I don't want to see him do is run all over Hollywood kissing Jewish ass. I mean, I know he will have to confess his sins on Larry King's show. Hell, everybody does that. But if he starts snuggling up to all that Jewish keester, it's only a matter of time before one of those producers gets the idea of turning it into a reality/game show.
Here is the concept. Mel is going to need work and do penance so we may as well package it. We roll out the title, "America's Greatest Celebrity Jewish Butt Kisser." Each week a Jewish celebrity is on stage along with 5 normal people. The butts are all bared through cutouts in a fabulous cardboard curtain. Mel has to find the right butt to kiss, if he misses, he keeps on going until he gets it right and when he does, he advances on the huge neon "Atonement Scale." The "Attonement Scale" will be set for 26 weeks. If Mel reaches the top, he is officially forgiven by Hollywood. We need some quality Jewish celebrity butts here, America won't accept just any old tush. Joan Rivers, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen and Harvey Fierstein are my top picks. I also think we can get Henry Kissinger, he hasn't had a steady gig in a long time. If we can get Father Guido Sarducci to host, this will rock. Babe, I smell some serious money here!
As I said, I don't really want to see this happen.
But please don't steal my idea. I want to pitch it to "The South Park Show."

I saw that they brought that episode back this week.
The only thing missing from Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" was the 24 hour marinade and a seasoning rub for the Saviour.
Call his people.
You horned angel. This is the best, funniest, wittiest, and most serious comment on Mel's big fall from grace that I have seen. I bet it will not be topped
I bet If I forward it as email to one or two of my friends, (yes one of those who forwards every joke to everyone in their mailing list) This will end up back in your own email in a very short time.
Kudos.
But I think the best we can do is stop talking about it. I don't want him to apologize; it's meaningless.
I don't want to see him vilified; he is one of many.
I think he should be required to do some kind of community service, maybe washing graffitti off of Jewish temples or some such.
But I do not want to see pictures or hear about his penance. I do not want him to gain any more notoriety (i.e. publicity) thru this event.
I know we are just being silly here, and I do appreciate that, but I think the best thing Mel could do is to fade away into his personal life, and us to let him.
