o.k. This is funny:
Mel Gibson Changes Name to Mel Gibstein
In his boldest bid yet to apologize to the Jewish community,
actor Mel Gibson today announced that he had converted to
Judaism.
The news took many Jews aback, since conversion to Judaism
is a demanding process that can take months or even years
of study, and Mr. Gibson accomplished the feat in a record
time of forty-five minutes.
But a spokesman for the "Lethal Weapon" star explained how
Mr. Gibson pulled off his lightning-fast conversion: "This
is Hollywood. A lot of things can be done by special effects."
Moments after his conversion to Judaism, Mr. Gibson paid a
visit to the registrar's office in Los Angeles County and
had his name legally changed to "Mel Gibstein" in a show
of commitment to his new chosen faith.
Then it was off to Malibu, where the 50-year old actor was
Bar Mitzvahed on the beach in a small, private ceremony.
"Today, I am a man," Mr. Gibstein said before a gathering
of friends and well-wishers from the local watering hole
Moonshadows. "A Jew man!"
Mr. Gibstein, whose Lexus LS sedan now sports a license plate
reading "LCHAIM," said that he was "thoroughly enjoying being
a Jew" and vowed to only shop wholesale from now on.
The actor added he would begin production of a new film,
"Mad Matzoh Beyond Thundershalom," as soon as he kicks his
drinking problem.
"I am really committed to reheeb," he said. "I mean rehab."
