Mel Gibson says that civilization will collapse in the year 2012, and he knows this for certain because gotdamn, he can draw parallels!

Mel would also like us to know that he’s kinda sorta making a movie about the Mayan culture’s downfall, whose events just happen to sorta kinda resemble human conflict of modern times:

“[T]he precursors to a civilization that’s going under are the same, time and time again. What’s human sacrifice if not sending guys off to Iraq for no reason?”

“I just wanna draw the parallels. I don’t wanna be a doomsayer, but the Mayan calendar ends in 2012. So have fun, boys and girls!”

Naturally, Mel Gibson can afford to be smug. A special place in heaven must exist for guys who yell, “Sugartits!” at female cops.
