they don't make mugshots like they used to

so ok. it just turned noon. i've been up since 7:30 due to my dear friend jetlag. i am still lounging around in newly purchased green boxer shorts polkadotted with lady bugs and the only thing that has passed my lips in the way of nourishment is coffee. so what. i'm a bum. deal with it.

since i've been out of the country for a month i decided to take a vacation from current events. ignorance is suiting me right now. anyway. in this state of lethargy i'm attempting to catch up, and i just read about good ol' mel gibson's recent run-in with the law and his anti-semitic statements he wishes to apologize for.

hmm. surprise surprise.

i've got to say the most striking aspect of the article i read was gibson's mug shot. was this really the sherrif department's mugshot? i mean really. did they airbrush that thing? he looks like some kid trying to squirm out of stealing cookies from the neighbor's cookie jar. or sticking a firecracker up a bullfrog's ass. this is not the face of someone truly repentant for driving drunk and vomiting antisemitic accusations. there are tabloid photos that look worse!

maybe i'm just not thinking outside the box. maybe the days of the grizzled, unshaven, wild-eyed lunatic mugshots are over. am i dissapointed? yes. when i see celebs fall i like them looking bloated, decrepit, and mad. where is the justice of the world?
