Couldn't Happen to a Nicer Guy
I know that Hugo, at least, defends the idea that we ought to (mostly) feel sorry for Mel Gibson, a drunk with a lot of anger, but I feel differently. I feel that he's preachy in a way that is hypocritical to the extreme, even in his 'apology' to Jews for what he said (i.e. "saying those things goes against my religious beliefs," when he's shown repeatedly that he doesn't think they do). I do feel sorry for the guy--he's an angry, bigoted drunk, and that's not an easy place to be. But I also feel happy that his hypocrisy is on display for all to see, just as his 'holiness' (i.e. his making of a movie about how the Jews killed Jesus) was on display for all to see. It's fitting.

And, it makes for great comics (click to enlarge):
