I'm sure by now you've all read and heard the latest anger induced spewing of Mel Gibson, secretly taped and strategically leaked by his latest baby mama for maximum effect in her quest to get as much $$$ as she can from Mel. Its been known for a while that Mel has serious issues with his “jews” and “n**ger” hate...... that said I am with this quote from ENT of Crazynightsanddays blog:

Now, the one thing that bothers me about these tapes is they are entirely one sided. We only know what Mel is saying. What did Oksana say? I doubt that as much of an a-hole Mel is that he just walks right into the house and says something like that. Were they fighting? I am not defending Mel at all. You already know I hate him. All I am saying is I would like to hear the tapes in their entirety.

Ditto. Chick knew which buttons to push to get Mel to spew hate …with her finger ready to click record all to gain advantage on Mel to force him to part with more $$ that he was willing to part with for said baby mama.
As much as we dislike Mel's racist ways, this smells of manipulation to the core...... One would say they deserve each other.

By now you have undoubtedly heard of John Mayer's latest round of foot bullets via his interview with Playboy Magazine where he talks, and talks and talks..... about Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson, his supposed racist dick, endless masturbation, complete with a N*gger mention, all that has everyone on the “internets” and beyond in quite a tizzy.

John “apologized” first on Twitter, saying,

“It’s such a shame that I [used the N-word] because the point I was trying to make was in the exact opposite spirit of the word itself. It was arrogant of me to think I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there’s no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged… I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock. I don’t have the stomach for it. Again, because I don’t want anyone to think I’m equivocating: I should have never said the word and I will never say it again. I just wanted to play the guitar for people.”

and then again his teary “apology” on stage in Nashville last night.

I put “apology” in quotation marks because as you've noticed, of his whole interview he seems to be apologizing only for the N word mention, but not for any of the other equally stupid things he said in the interview, or the people he slammed in that interview.

Reading the JM's interview, I couldn't help thinking that John Mayer is basically a regular (not evil) horny douche guy with an unfortunate penchant toward hoof-in-mouth disease. 

Stupid? yes, to the highest degree, not because he is not intelligent, given his many other interviews you know he's got some intelligence, he just lacks a formal education that would have helped him phrase his thoughts differently, less inflammatory, less ridiculously or stupidly as he tries to “shock” or stay relevant.

Racist? I think not. We all have to agree that its ok for John to say he's not attracted to black women, its a preference of his and that's ok. He may have chosen the WORST way of expressing that thought, choosing to declare his dick a card carrying, certified member of the KKK but that doesn't make him wrong or discriminatory… in fact his whole interview left me thinking John has a serious inferiority complex with a lack of self awareness to know that and so over compensates by being overly sexualized and completely self absorbed.

As for the N*gger mention? his quote sounded to me more in same spirit/vein as Harry Reid‘s infamous “Obama lacks the negro dialect, hence will be nominated and will win” quote, inarticulate yes, but true and not derived from racism, in fact quite contrary, John actually had a point to make on the “hood pass” thing, he just didn’t phrase it the best way he could, and that said, did someone give John Mayer the hood pass and no black person knew about that?

John now says he's done with media/interviews and just wants to play his guitar, well, go do that son.. the whole “shock” thing is not working for ya.
