Mel Gibson

el Gibson is making headlines again. This time he's making weird apocalyptic comparisons between ancient Maya civilization and Modern America as well as...surprise, surprise...criticizing the War in Iraq:

The "Apocalypto" director recently made widely reported comments drawing parallels between Mayan culture shortly before it collapsed and America's current situation, saying "the precursors to a civilization that's going under are the same, time and time again," and adding, "What's human sacrifice if not sending guys off to Iraq for no reason?"

"I just wanna draw the parallels," Gibson said. "I just looked at it, and thought, we display that stuff here. I don't wanna be a doomsayer, but the Mayan calendar ends in 2012," he chuckled. "So have fun!"

el's pretty stupid because the Mayan calendar hanging on my bathroom wall clearly states the world will end in 2016. (side note: don't start looking for a Mayan calendar in late December like I foolishly did--I searched far and wide before finally having to settle on the "Men at Work" edition. Some people tell me it's gay but I say Itzamna looks downright sexy in firemen's gear).
