As you can see, instead of another photo of Mel Gibson, whose stupid dumb face we have seen far too much of this week, I have embedded a photo of Senator Christopher J. Dodd and Representative Barney Frank. This is the photo on the front page of the New York Times right now for an article about the finance overhaul bill, which just cleared some kind of hurdle in the senate (what do I look like, Governor of Knowing How Stuff Works?) and is very close to finally passing. Dodd and Frank are, of course (OF COURSE!) the primary authors of the bill, which would provide a sweeping overhaul of the country’s financial regulatory system (I basically copied and pasted that sentence from the photo caption because I have no idea what half those words mean). The point is that there are other things going on in the world. Important things! Things that will effect the future of our country, and stuff.

But also there is a fifth Mel Gibson tape after the jump. And SURPRISE, it’s awful:

As you heard, Oksana Grigorieva hangs up at the end of this one, and one might hope and assume that this will be the end, although according to this interview from THIS morning, Radar still has, like, 20 minutes of tape left, and claims “you haven’t heard anything yet.” Oh brother. (Via Dlisted.)

  1. THERE ARE 20 MINUTES OF THIS STUFF STILL TO COME?????

    • The only entertainment left at this point is seeing how Gabe will stretch himself to introduce yet another tape. I mean, Gabe can post what he wants, but you have to chuckle at the thought of him wracking his centenarian brain every day when he sees another Mel recording. “What topical ‘hook’ can I put on the 6th interchangeable installment of insanely bigoted celebrity ranting? Will I be able to keep introducing this hellish, unlistenable series of tapes in a manner both hip and fresh?” That is what Gabe’s brain asks itself.

  2. In the spirit of werttrew, l am going to not watch this video and instead look at this picture:

  3. “I am in trouble”- Mel Gibson

    And the understatement of the year goes to…

  4. Did anyone hear Steve Winwood’s tape to his ex girlfriend? It was pretty mean. Here is a transcript:

    “You’re pretty… PSYCHE!”

  5. I am looking forward to whoa!’s comment about this latest tape.

  6. “you haven’t heard anything yet.” — really? cause I feel like I have heard too much.

  7. I really couldn’t get into it. The part where he hid in a lead-lined fridge to escape from a nuclear blast was just silly. And those monkies? Ridiculous! The worst part was definitely Cate Blanchett’s awful Russian accent. Did she watch too many Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons as a child, or what?

    /didn’t listen.

  8. You guys I’m worried about Mel I think there might be something wrong with him.

  9. This series is really going downhill. We need a reboot tape with someone younger playing Mel Gibson. Adam Brody, perhaps? With Emma Stone playing the part of Oksana Grigorieva?

  10. seems like he’s starting to lose it.

  11. So Mel Gibson is the 2pac of celebrity voicemails?

  12. Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

  13. This is just about the easiest boycott I’ve ever been a part of.

  14. These tapes are becoming the celebrity gossip equivalent of the BP oil spill. A new part is released each day, more vitriolic than the previous one but less and less shocking. At this rate, we should be getting a steady stream of this up through Thanksgiving.

  15. Hey, I’m beginning to think someone is systematically releasing these *on purpose*!

  16. How does the videogum RESET button work again? Can we press it to end this now? Please? I need to not hear Mel Gibson’s creepy panting and hoarse screams. They are haunting my dreams.

  17. I’m not even listening to this one because after a while everything just starts to sound the same from this hate-filled garbage tyrant, but I think M. Night might have a surprise hit on his hands if he just scraps the whole thing with the Devil in the elevator and replaces him with Mel.

  18. I have to go off top and proclaim my eternal love of Gabe’s parenthetical statements this week. They really have reached a new level of awesome.

  19. im not gunna tell you how to run your website, but since we keep getting more posts of mel gibson freakouts every day, i’m gunna just repost the same comment:

    explainer guy shows a picture of gabe watching mel gibson implode POST 2:

  20. This summer not only has the worst TV shows (except Louie and Rescue), but also the worst gossip. Just AWFUL.

    • OY. I’ve figured out how to post a picture I stole from some poor sap on the Internet, but I’ve yet to figger out how to post my own pictures?

      Copy and paste…no…I’m a moron…yes..

      It is a crappy digital camera photo of the best puppy ever standing in a cooler filled with ice water.

  21. Can we at least call the last one Mel Gibs10?

  22. “Why is it because of me? What kind of bullshit is this?”

    Oksana Grigorieva made me lol.

  23. Since I happen to be a woman and black, I’ll pass. The first tape almost made me cry (all jokes aside: I can’t really listen to explicit violence against a woman) so I just hope he gets swallowed into a black hole and Oksana can get lots of money for her, her fake tits, and her kid.

  24. I’ve had the “live feed” of the oil spill – if we can even call it a spill at this point, it’s more like a giant fucking pouring disaster, but semantics – up on my computer all day, and everyone who’s come by my desk has been like “oh…” because it’s AWFUL to watch and think about, and then Mel Gibson….fuuuuuck, guys, we’re gonna need some more baby animal pictures, morale is at an all time low over here.

    • If I knew how to use computers, I’d put up the picture of the pup I take care of. It’s great, I promise. If it comes to it, I can describe the photo in detail.

      After work, you should just do what I do when morale is low, walk around Church finding friendly dogs.

      But till then, here’s an Irish Wolfhound pup:

      • Oh hi Smushy! You’ve got a cute face! And very large feet!

        Fortunately, it’s kickball night, which means there will be dozens of friendly dogs running around hundreds of people in ridiculous uniforms drinking beer and taking advantage of a beautiful evening at Oakledge. If not for that, I might just put my head down on my desk and…ugh.

        • Awesome! I don’t know why I’ve never done the kickball thing here…oh well. I will wish you luck, but only a moderate amount, as there is some small possiblility you’re playing against a friend of mine.

          It’s fine to put your head down on the desk anyways. Let’s see if we can get some Monsters to play a game of Heads Up, Seven Up.

  25. Need a good brain/palate cleanser after that, per usual:

    (I highly recommend the whole series of polar bears eating watermelons over at http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/polar-bears-eating-watermelons)
