Mel Gibson is DUMB

Check out these snippets of Mel Gibson’s Playboy Interview, from July 1995. It’s an older interview, and this is only a snippet, but it’s still new to me and still appalling. The whole thing is stupid. Instances of stupidity that don’t even need explanation to any rational person:

How come apes aren’t people yet?

Or how about:

There’s a big credibility gap. The carbon dating thing that tells you how long something’s been around, how accurate is that, really?

Well, read something about it, and you’ll find out!

But, one particular piece of idiotic ignorance really jumped out at me:

I’ve got one of Darwin’s books at home and some of that stuff is pretty damn funny. Some of his stuff is true, like that the giraffe has a long neck so it can reach the leaves.

He’s saying that Darwin was mostly wrong, but got some of it right. As evidence of what Darwin got right, Gibson mentions something that he might have actually gotten wrong!

The thing is.. The giraffe’s neck gets in the way of eating and drinking. Sure, it can reach higher leaves, but it makes drinking water and eating lower leaves very difficult (no, it can’t just bend its neck down). And lots of animals survived on eating the lower vegetation alone, so why not the giraffe? And why just a long neck? If being tall was key to survival then it seems that it could have evolved to be generally tall, rather than just having a long neck.

Yah, Darwin got a lot of things right, as did his predecessors, and he made mistakes. However, I’m certain that he got much more right than Mel Gibson.

He goes on to trash women as basically inferior. Smart guy, this one.

Gibson’s words scream of ignorance and a very low mental capacity. The bottom line is, Mel Gibson is DUMB!

I won’t ever watch another of his movies again. I’m sorry I’ve already watched some of his crap in my past. Now, I’m completely done with him.

Now, there’s a chance that these excerpts are illegitimate; regardless, I stand by my own opinions of him.
