Dear sciur,
Thanks for making everybody else in the entire world look a little smarter.
XXOO

This is just fuckin' bizarre, to find out that reason I thought they wanted him for the cameo in the first place ended being the reason they rejected him. I thought the whole point of the Tyson/Gibson type of cameo's was "Hey look at this celebrity that fucked up few years, he's in a movie about people fucking up. haha." but I guess I was wrong.

I don't understand – what exactly do we owe Mel Gibson? There are scores of random actors who would be perfect for this kind of cameo. Why reward an anti-semitic mysoginist with a fifth chance? I'm proud of this production for standing up to this bullshit. People – especially celebrities – need to be held accountable for their actions, especially in the gathering hate-storm of tea parties and Fox News. I'm surprised to see this kind of POV on CHUD, frankly.

Uhhhh, maybe he was not wanted by the cast and crew because he made death threats towards a woman? A woman that was the mother of his child no less? And the fact that this just recently came out in the press?

What about the film's box office possibilities? Do you think maybe the cast and crew are fearful of the movie being boycotted by the moviegoing public?

How about where other people see him as a bipolar schitzoid religious extremist nutjob and they do not want to work with that? I would like to say as well that Mike Tyson made his little comment about cannibalizing his opponent's children out in public and knew what he was saying would be construed as awful whereas Mel Gibson made death threats on what he thought was a private phone conversation that would never come out in the public eye. I would have skipped The Hangover 2 if he had been in it even as a cameo, but now I guess I'll see it opening day. I liked Apocalypto and Edge of Darkness but I cannot look at Gibson in the same light anymore.

Maybe it's because nobody wanted to work with such an asshole.

You realize Mike Tyson *raped a woman*, right?

Keep in mind, this isn't "the cast and crew" that made this happen, but GALIFIANAKIS. He all but confirmed it on a recent podcast interview he did, stating his displeasure that the rest of the cast didn't seem to mind while he did.

I don't think it's wrong to point out that Tyson was a convicted rapist, bit another mans ear off, or publicly claimed he wanted to eat an opponents children. What's wrong here is that while Mel might be a anti-semetic, which is wrong, he's also anti-breast implant. Which is just flat out evil.

Well, there goes a Hangover 2 set visit.

Who are we to judge? I personally like the Bible verse John 8:7- So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
I was looking forward to Hangover 2 and Due Date, but if Zach Galifianakis is going to be judgemental, so will I. I wonder how he will feel when narrowminded people like me boycott his movies.

Seriously, what kind of hypocrisy is this? The cast? Really fellas?

You had Mike Tyson in the first one, for Christ's sake. A movie which was so ridiculously overrated. This cameo was the only bit of news that might get me interested in seeing a second one.

So now what can we expect? Jokes about Ed Helms getting blown by a tranny and Zach Galifinakis going local, while Bradley Cooper wanders the beach in a white shirt. Count me out.

Scratch wins the comments. Headline should read "Intelligence and Good Taste Show Up to Set of Hangover 2, Surprising All Involved"

Can someone tell me why Mel Gibson looks like Saddam coming out of his hidey-hole? Did I miss this transition?

You mean the movie that was 'somehow' blown up in popularity doesn't want Mel Gibson on its set? Or did they make up their own rumor just to make this follow up statement afterwards on purpose? Likely the latter. No wonder…oh never mind. This is just early damage control for Due Date which looks like shit.

Not to mention that Hollywood continuously kisses the ass of Roman Polanski who drugged and raped a 13 year old. Fucking hypocritical sycophants. And Zack Galifinakis is an untalented jackass.

It really is hypocritical that they work with an ear biting rapist and yet are offended by comments.

What is more interesting is they didn't mention booting him because of his insanely violent unhinged answering machine messages.

I would be spooked to work with the dude cause he really came off as unhinged on that answering machine.

But, rapist fine. I'll keep that in mind.

Kiddies, just remember if you ever want to be in the movies, don't say bad things, but rape, is A Okay.

These borderline stars had no problem with Iron Mike but now that they have a blockbuster under their belt they are too good for Mad Max. WTF? I do agree with some of you, The Hangover, although funny, was overrated and I'm just about done with Galifianakis, who seems to be running his course as has Steve Carell.

Seriously, fuck Gibson. Who cares.

Or maybe they didn't want Gibson in the movie because that cameo sounds fucking RETARDED as shit.

Tyson was convicted and did jail time. That's more than Polanski ever did.

Mel who?

Tyson did his time, served his sentence, paid his debt to society. He paid his dues, and those dues weren't a life sentence. Get over it.

"Gibson has been his own worst enemy." He's also his wife's worst enemy, having terrorized her, threatened her life and beaten her up, breaking her teeth. Gibson, unlike Tyson, did no time for any of this – so this is his punishment. He's an idiot for even attempting any kind of comeback whatsoever. Fuck him, and goodbye. That said, I would like to see The Beaver.

Come on, lay off Mel. Who HASN'T said anti semitic remarks and threatened their wife with death? Not that big of a deal. She was a bitch anyway.

Remember, rapists are always forgiven in Hollywood, but say some racist comments and you're and evil evil person that should be beaten to death. Gotta love Liberal Tolerance!
