Kevin Rose had a website. It got hacked.

No big deal, really, but it illustrates that you should keep track of all your software installs out there. Forgetting just one has the potential to come back and cause you pain. Especially if you’re an Internet rockstar under the spotlight.

Let’s review:

1. His big movie, “The Passion of the Christ” was criticised for being anti-semitic.
2. He vehemently denies these accusations.
3. He gets arrested for drunk driving and goes off on a total anti-Jew tirade.

I like Mel Gibson — perhaps less so now that he’s become an ultra right-wing Christian — but I still like him. For him to deny that he dislikes Jews, however, after making a movie that clearly casts them in a negative light and then utterly bashing them in a moment of reduced inhibitions is extremely dishonest, at best.

I mean, the guy’s getting so lame as to claim he didn’t mean those things — as if he’s never had those thoughts and doesn’t know where they came from. Alcohol magnifies emotions, but I don’t thing it’s capable of creating new ones. He said those things because he feels them — at least at some level — and to deny this is as bad (or worse) than the feelings themselves.

I feel bad for him having issues with alcoholism, and I hope he gets help with that. Even moreso, however, I hope he comes to terms with his dislike of “the Jews” and finds a way to deal with his feelings on the matter.
