Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson is an Australian actor known for roles in films such as Braveheart, and for his movie The Passion of the Christ.

In the season 8 episode The Passion of the Jew, the boys see the movie. Cartman believes the film was Mel Gibson's way of rallying people against the Jews, and idolizes him for it. Stan, on the other hand, is so disgusted by the movie that he decides he wants his money back. He and Kenny go to Gibson's house, only to discover that he is crazy. He threatens them with a shotgun so they steal the money from his wallet and run away. He follows them back to South Park. He claims that saying his movie sucked is like saying Christianity sucks. Stan counters by saying that Christianity is fine, but focusing on how people died ends up with really bad results, convincing the town that Mel Gibson was wrong all along.
