I'm sure most of you have caught the images of Mad Mel on Drudge and elsewhere. Did anyone notice how much he looks like Saddam Hussein??
Mel has sparkling blue eyes; Saddam has dead brown eyes.
No comparison.
someone pulling a drive by media?
True. But they could digitally change them brown or have him wear brown contacts if they wanted him to play Saddam in a movie.
Sorry, don't see it. Every bearded man doesn't look like every other bearded man.
LOL ! Good call .
Well, they both hate Jews.
I don't suspect even Saddam is crazy enough to believe that "the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." ....even when he's drunk.
Has anyone ever seen them together?
No?
Curious.
Developing...
And this would be relevant why? What difference does it make who a person resembles, what does it signify to you? That Mel is somehow evil because he looks like SH?
In which case, we need a picture of DaveLoneRanger! ;)

Sure they do. :-)
When chicks say something negative about a beautiful woman, we are invariably accused of being catty. What is the male equivalent to catty? ;)
susie
No, I don't think that they look that much alike.
Actually, I am struck by how dissimilar the two pictures of Saddam are. In the one right after his capture, he looks very puffy. After long months of detention, he looks much better. Maybe he is being treated for hypertension. The life in captivity really agrees with him, and his being in captivity probably agrees with a lot of other people, too. I say that we keep him there until such time as the hangman calls him.
I just came from a week long portrait painting class. I am able to detect differences in head shapes, nose shapes, skin tones, wrinkles, eye color and other differences, but if I was to take my glasses off and squint..........
His facial hair is disgusting. But then, I'm no fan of Mel's anyway.
It's kind of creepy that my father looks a bit like saddam. He even has that same gnomish nose.

I recall a dialog from an episode of the televison show That Girl, circa 1967, that went something like this:
Q. Only Communists wear beards. Can you name someone with a beard who isn't a Communist?
A. Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee
Q. Can you name one who is living?
A. silence
I've got a beard like that. Do I look like Saddam Hussein?
GEORGE: You know that coat was Gore-Tex. It was worth a hell of a lot more than that cheap Chardonnay.
KRAMER: I'm freezing. Definitely freezing. I can't stop shaking.
GEORGE: I'm cold too. At least you've got a coat. Let's get in the car.
GEORGE: Oh, my god that's Saddam Hussein.
MAN: Don't walk around without a coat in this weather; you'll catch your death of cold. So long.
Hehehe!

Well that was as tasteless as anything they've done on DU.
One is a devout Christian, with some human failings, and the other is a murdering Islamist.
I am not a Mel Gibson lover or hater--however
This is funny stuff!
Maybe when Mel is 20 years older but not now.
Mel Gibson was a danger to the entire region. Our government forces were right to apprehend him and bring him to justice. It is a credit to our civilization that he will receive a fair trial. He should have been hanged.
Oh come on. geez
". and then break you out. With my share of the Saddam reward money she and I can build that little cottage in the valley."
"Consarn it go ahead and hit me then! I'm sick and tired of being turned in to collect that Saddam reward money! I ain't agonna do it again I tell you!"
Trying to tarnish Mel's name???? ZOT!!!!
Did anyone notice how much this thread is worthless?
Mel has sparkling blue eyes; Saddam has dead brown eyes. No comparison.Well, I wasn't looking at the eyes...
someone pulling a drive by media?Not me...
Sorry, don't see it. Every bearded man doesn't look like every other bearded man.Are you kidding? If Bill Gates grew a beard, he'd look like Saddam too.
Has anyone ever seen them together?Dave Barry points out that no one has ever seen Sally Jessie Raphael and Mike Tyson together either.
And this would be relevant why? What difference does it make who a person resembles, what does it signify to you? That Mel is somehow evil because he looks like SH?Where did I say this was relevant? Where is that written? This is completely and totally irrelevant! Downright worthless. What's your point?

One is a devout Christian, with some human failings, and the other is a murdering Islamist.In all seriousness, what makes him a Christian just because he made the movie? I haven't read any compelling testimony of his. I know he took Mass on the set of the film, but beyond that...
Trying to tarnish Mel's name???? ZOT!!!!*Dave pats handy dandy zot-proof shield* Did you get one of these at the gift shop? And do you ever check the posting record, profile, register date or reputation before you throw out these mindless zots? I think you need a lecture in zot safety.
Did anyone notice how much this thread is worthless?I think we all did. I ask again, where in the FR charter is it written that all threads must have latent meaning?
LOL @ Dave.. that was a lot of rectifying you did there.. LOL it's all good dude :)
sometimes folks are a little quick with the trigger around here ... you KNOW it coulda been a LOT worse.
He reminds me more of fellow anti-semite, Bobby Fischer.
I like your read hair!
susie
And I would like it if I could type!
I meant RED hair....silly me.
susie
If you really think Bill Gates could grow a beard and he would look just like Saddam you are seriously deranged but I know you don't think that. You are just bored and want to talk to someone. Thats OK.
>>>Well, I wasn't looking at the eyes... <<<
Well, you should, then. The eyes are the windows of the soul. Mel's eyes sparkle with wit, humor, and creativity.
Saddam's are the eyes of death, despair, evil, and nihilism.
I'm willing to cut Mel a break here. He fell off the wagon and his mouth runneth over. Other than that, he's a pretty decent human being.
There's an old irish proverb...somethinglike, "I once knew a man who broke his nose with his own mouth". That's what happened to Mel here.
I didn't say they were identical twins.
And I'm not bashing Mel. I think it's more than falling off the wagon; his behavior was reprehensible, as he acknowledges, but I'm not sure an apology will fix that. It doesn't affect me one way or the other, not one iota.
As for whether or not he's a decent human being, my mind returns to the words of the One that Mel depicted on the movie screen.
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone."
