Mel Gibson Wants Your Forgiveness

The upcoming redemption drama Father Stu, a film about a real-life boxer turned priest, stars Mark Wahlberg and features Mel Gibson—two actors for whom the word “redemption” must hold particular, perhaps desperate appeal. (Wahlberg was involved in some ugly racist incidents as a teenager. Gibson, well, you know.) “Gibson—at least judging by the trailer—plays a grizzled mechanic who hates God but, and this is only a wild stab in the dark, will probably eventually come to see the light,” writes AIR MAIL’s own Stuart Heritage in The Guardian. “If this had been a one-man redemption bid, there’s a sliver of a chance that it might have worked.” So why risk hiring Gibson as well? “It’s because the film was written and directed by Rosalind Ross. And Rosalind Ross is Mel Gibson’s girlfriend.”

The online gaming platform Roblox, rated PEGI 7 in the U.K.—suitable for ages seven and older—has been hosting virtual Nazi sex parties. “The sex games created by users on Roblox are commonly referred to as ‘condos’, where people can allow their avatars to simulate sex and talk about sex with other users in an instant messenger chat box,” reported The Timesof London. The newspaper said that a BBC investigation also found “a strip club, avatars dressed in Nazi uniforms, and a naked man ‘wearing just a dog collar and a lead being led across the floor by a woman in a bondage outfit.’”
