Mel Gibson’s gay brother comes to his defence

I think anyone who comes to Mel Gibson’s defence is utterly deranged. Evidently his 43-year-old gay brother, Andrew Gibson, is no exception. In a recent interview, Andrew claimed that “When I heard them [the accusations], I just thought, ‘This isn’t Mel.’ He has never said anything abusive, aggressive or racist in his life.”

Wait… what?! Are we thinking of the same Mel Gibson here, Andy? The entire world has heard his alleged disturbing rants against the mother of his child, Oksana Grigorieva, where he seemed awfully abusive… aggressive… and racist! He allegedly said that Oksana “deserved” to get hit and “raped by a pack of niggers.”

Sounds like someone is eligible for sainthood.

“I just had to turn the TV off and turn it to the wall for two weeks so I didn’t have to listen,” Andrew said. “The rest of the family did the same.”

So your entire family is in denial, then?

“He never meant to upset anyone,” Andrew continued. Aw. Excuse me while I shed a tear for the perpetually misunderstood Mel Gibson. He never meant to hurt anyone, you guys! He’s a good man!

“I’ve never once heard anything anti-gay come out of his mouth,” Andrew said.

Again… What?! You’ve never heard anything anti-gay come out of his mouth? The whole world has heard anti-gay things come out of his mouth, you dumbass! What about the 1991 interview that got him into heaps of trouble with GLAAD, when he said, “With this look, who’s going to think I’m gay? I don’t lend myself to that kind of confusion. Do I look like a homosexual? Do I talk like them? Do I move like them?”

Right, because we all look, talk and move the same way, you fucking douche.

Or what about another shining example of what a good Christian Mel Gibson is: during an interview in Australia he stood up and showed his butt to the camera and said, “This is for shitting. Not for sticking dicks up there!”

Such a pure, brave heart (pun intended) he has. What a pioneer for the gay community! He’s our messiah! All hail Mel! We love him just as much as Jewish people do!

Turn your TV to the wall again, Andrew, and this time, climb inside it and rot.
