Once a childhood "Lethal Weapon" aspiration, Mel Gibson let me down with his recent anti-Jewish tirade. How much outrage did he cause? Blog mentions of "Mel Gibson" skyrocketed in the past few days to massive levels, and easily pushed mentions of "jew", "jewish", "judaic" and "judaism" to a six-month high. Mentions of Mel Gibson are at levels almost on par with the few aforementioned Judaic-related keywords.
