Memo To Mel Gibson: Time To Take Up Knitting

38094, WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - Friday February 26 2010. A sombre-looking Mel Gibson shows up at the BOA steakhouse alone. Following an eight-year absence, the actor recently turned to the big screen with the thriller Edge of Darkness Photograph: David Tonnessen, PacificCoastNews.com

Yeah, that's right Mel, time to take up knitting, 'cause that acting/directing/producing thing?  That's over.  Done. 

Kaput.

You drove one final rusty nail in that coffin that used to be your career when you went off on your ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, and she was smart enough to record every reprehensible, racist, sexist thing you said and make it public.

Now the New York Daily News is reporting that your agency, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment has dumped you over the incident. Good for them.

Now we all know you've got deep pockets, and you may just try to hire a damage control specialist to control the spin.  But save your money.

Sitting down with Oprah, Barbara or Diane won't help you. Spouting mea culpas won't help you.  Running off to racist rehab won't help you.  Crying on a nationally televised awards show won't help you.

That's 'cause your support of extreme religious teachings, your previous anti-semitic remarks, the fact that the cops are investigating you for hitting Grigorieva, has made Hollywood more likely to resurrect Richard Nixon and star him in "Lethal Weapon 5" rather than let you touch another one of their films ever again.

Personally I think knitting is a good alternative.  You'll still need to support your child with Grigorieva so you could anonymously sell your wares on the internet.  That way, no one would know they were buying their woolen scarves, hats, and gloves from a sexist, racist, sanctimonious pig with a God complex.

And you might even poke your eye out with a knitting needle.  One can only hope.
