Go East Young Man

A cheeky career idea for Mel Gibson

At present, Mel Gibson seems to be desperately trying to mend his relations with Hollywood’s powerful Jewish community. However, rather than putting his time and effort into what may be a very difficult, if not impossible task, perhaps he should make a new start overseas.

Steve Sailer has pointed out that Mel Gibson has an interest in the Ukrainian Holocaust and perhaps he could move to Kiev or Moscow and make a film about it. It’s a lot cheaper to make a film in Eastern Europe, and you don’t need to spend money making costly mock-ups of historical buildings. With Hollywood production savvy, a controversial subject, and a receptive European audience, Mel could be onto a winner with a film about Ukraine in the 1930s.

Kiev in particular, could be a good option for film-making – apparently Kiev is the new Prague for European stag parties and Gibson could supplement his film budgets by timely purchases of Kiev real estate.

Gibson would also make great gossip material for the Exile crowd and certainly boost his internet presence.

However, a word of caution- Mel, don’t make your film/s too good. Well made European films have a habit of bankrupting their producers. For example, the German company that made Enemy at the Gates has gone belly up (how can you go bankrupt making films this good!)Fortunately though, Gibson knows how to add just enough cheese to make a film commercially successful.
