Mad Mel

The Los Angeles Lakers trounced the Chicago Bulls last night at Staples Center, much to the chagrin of Mel Gibson and his son.

Courtside seats for Lakers games usually run over $2,000 a piece. Why's Mel so glum? Perhaps because he was roundly booed when his face appeared on the Jumbotron. We're told that Mel then stuck out his tongue, causing further booing.

106. All you folks complaining that they booed him in front of his son - how would the crowd know that he was there with his kid? Do you think they showed and identified his son on the jumbotron? I suspect not. The fans saw Mel on the screen and exercized their first amendment right. Again, seems fair enough to me.

As for poor Mel, I'll boo that racist bastard forever. But I'd refrain and smile graciously if I knew he was with his family. Except for his neo-nazi, holocaust-denying pops, of course.

107. What a bunch of broke ass jealous losers.... Why would you boo a guy who is there with his small son. Save it for another time. Why would you make this kid feel like crap about his own father. I guess because you're jealous that you work 9 to 5 and make minimum wage.

We are all allowed to use racists words, we are allowed to hate whoever we want. Jews, Blacks, Mexicans.... who freaking cares.. they all say the same things about white people... Get over yourselves and grow the hell up... I hope to see all you losers out in public with your loser children.. then, I will walk up and spit in your faces... then you can explain to your children why some big white guy walked up and spit in your face....

108. If he was booed people really do not like this guy. I say he should go back to Austrailia where he is liked. I guess people had no sympathy for the little boy. That is so hateful to boo someone in front of their kid. I know Mel must feel really bad. No one wants their kid going through anything. They should not have done that in front of his kid. Now he has to explain why is was done. This is the kid's father. Can you imagine how he felt. I say screw everybody because Mel or his family does not need anyone. He is already a billionare so who does he need? Not you, me or anyone.

109. That sucks, how would you like it to take your kid to a basketball game and get personally humiliated by booers. He did not ask for the tv to highlight him.

110. Mel Gibson is great. LA is filled with phony superficial people. Mel may not be perfect but when comparing him to those idiots he is perfect. He apologized for his mistake, just like all of us make mistakes. So lets move on shall we. By the way Mel I love your movies and as a film director ( Passion of the Christ ) you are excellent.

116. Absolutely some very cruel comments, you should all be ashamed of yourselves that want to kick a person when he's down. I'd like to know what glass houses you all live in, are you all on the same culdesac? My God people, show some compassion and have a heart, until you walk a mile in his shoes, just remember, that could be you--how would you feel? So much meaness in this world already, thanks for showing me how much faith one should have in the goodness of mankind. God help us.

118. Mel is nervous on this photo, maybe he has no confidence in himself, look at his son,a little boy who losses himself into the game,some women on Femmate.com/user/nikki said that they hope their children would be like him because they always run around and never be quite when watching games at all!!! is it really ???? It is just a joke ,isn't it ?
