The Mel Gibson Game: Drink Til You Hate Everyone
- LA's own Moxie drank the other night and live-blogged to find out how long it would take to become anti-Semitic. It earned her a front page post on Metafilter where the kids there, as could be predicted, greeted it with mixed reviews.
- Then today, MSNBC's own Joe Scarborough ripped off the bit for his tv show and then had the nerve to write about it on his blog.
- The Poor Man Institute had a very funny post today which included a way to tell who you would hate based on how much booze is in your system. Check out where you stand after the jump:
blood alcohol level presumed source of all world's problems

Those other guys, they think it's all about that fucking woo-woo stuff, and they think they're so great, but it's not about that bullshit, you know? Palmer, man, you're all right. You're all right. And you know what? I don't care how gay it sounds: I fucking love you, man!
