- Refrag, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think Mel Gibson converted to Islam.
- frogg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Viral Marketing? Do we know what that is, people?

A behind-the-scenes picture of Mel Gibson that for some reason is put into a movie trailer is not viral marketing.
THIS COMMENTS PAGE is viral marketing.
+digg :) - hufnmouth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2C'mon guys. Mel Gibson is one of the greatest practical jokers ever. Do you ever watch some of the outtakes on the Lethal Weapon DVDs? The guy is always goofing around.
In regards to his beard, he's behind the camera now. Let him look the way he wants. - bonlebon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5viral marketers are invading digg, /. and you name it, hence the google launch fanboys that appear all of the sudden and now this. watch the corporation documentary there are companies already doing this. Maybe we should red flag them from digg.

- sirfanjafry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here in the US we call it a Cigarette. You can find them in some novelty shops!
- Trematode, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2crap, didn't know digg handled urls automatically...
http://members.shaw.ca/trematode/mel2.jpg - mehron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1mac, i believe those guys actually pertain to the movie.
- NidStyles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't know about anyone else, but I love everything that guy has made so far. I'm not religious in any real sense. Everything he does shows his full passion for the medium. That's something that is so lacking in Hollywood these days, and I'm glad there's at least one person out there still doing it for the love of it, rather than the money. The money of course is a great incentive though.
He does look like Saddam though, it seems like he's making a stab at him personally. - Udon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I also check all the new trailers frame by frame.
- Testify.Alex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1holly crap he does look like Saddam that's hilarious
- errer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That beard is ***** awesome. You are all just jealous that you can't grow one that thick, long, and awe-inspiring.
- lildavid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1why is everybody considered a "fanboy all of the sudden? what isn't considered a fanboy?
- billizm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1macaholic: That's not an easter egg. That is continued on more concurent frames and you can see it when playing the video.
- don613, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why does it matter if it's tech news or not, it was posted in the Movies category? I think it qualifies for Movie news.
- vermin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2He looks like saddam hussein lol
- Infekted, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2ok not a week ago on the 21st and i found the site... it was at filmrot.com
heres a large screenshot

- trooz1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"How do you even find that? Who was watching the trailer frame by frame.."
"How did the first person EVER find this is my question."
I actually saw this a few days ago on one of those Hollywood tabloid shows (Inside Edition, or something like that). At the end, they showed the trailer for the movie, then mentioned the easter egg. I thought it was pretty cool! - avocade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hehehe. best easter egg ever!
- grayapple, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Jesus, that's the best!
- MaZAKaR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good stuff... I got a voice message from Mel Gibson once, it was one of the funniest things in the world... it was pre-recorded unfortunately... but it started off with him fighting with his dog... then he thanked me for helping with the promotion process of the movie "The Passion of the Christ" i shared with all of my friends, it was really funny.
- Fungi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Funny, that one single frame was the only thing I liked in that trailer.
- crapiolio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How did the first person EVER find this is my question.
- giveer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"No digg for bad grammer which you could have edited hours ago"
I LOVE - Absolutely love it when people are so lame, they take to the Internet to correct Grammar mistakes - when they can't even spell GRAMMAR correctly - when there's a bleedin' "Check Spelling" button right frickin' there. That guy gets a 'no digg' on life.
I apologize. Loved the digg by the way, just to keep it on topic. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0how the f$%^ did u find that? a little too much time maybe?
+digg.... evil gibson - Nanx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0c-r-e-e-p-y
- Stealth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that is funny but i dont get the point of the movie
- h2d2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0tical73: Nah, you think? I believe the evil one is the real deal and the other one (included in the preview) was photoshoped by Mel's staff to make him look better.
- mikeruiz7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ah, apparently he's portraying himself as Satan. That thing around the white man's shoulder (not his arm, the other thing)... I thought it was a cane at first but on closer inspection it's actually the devil's tail (That cliche red tail with the spade-like thing on the end).
Now I just wonder what the hell it means. - tical735, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't think he is portraying himself as the devil. Whoever posted the image where he looked like that obviously edited themselves. the original is just a pic of him looking all scraggly.
check this link from above
http://static.flickr.com/39/76679407_e8d9db3cc5_o.jpg - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Digg solely because of the editing trickery. I love things like this.
- 0zzy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0THAT! Scared, the CRAP! Out of me, then I laughed, looked at it again, then was scared. Its wierd, voodoo I say!
- kinderstod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@joeyjojo - Right, because every "jesus" movie before Passion of the Christ made millions. Go research a bit before making yourself look like a total moron.
- RMuffin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0He looks like ***** Sadam...
Now I hate him even more. - avatarpalin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There should be one for the passion of the christ... hahaha next to 'that guy' on the cross
- inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"he thanked me for helping with the promotion process of the movie "The Passion of the Christ" "
Why on earth would you give your own personal time to promote any film backed by millions of dollars in marketing and advertising money? - inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Did anyone else notice this one? Creepy!
http://www.muchosucko.com/modules/Web_Links/images/links/8746.jpg - superal1394, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How about a more obvious question. What in flipping hell is this movie about?
Its about I think the mayans (correct me if I'm wrong), they just abandoned a HUGE city one day. No one knows why. - siggiarni, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What ever the point is, it made me laugh out loud :)
- anthony808, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This just a case of narcissistic subliminal imagery, not an Easter egg.
- pencilneck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Smart move... now this is going to spread like wild fire across the *net and everyone is going to be watching the trailer to see if it true... funny stuff.
- lollerskates, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's especially funny considering he's laughing his ass off while standing next to those pasty, morose-looking fellows.
- GTPBearSuit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have to say, I hated the guy for the longest time, but this is the sort of thing I can appreciate.
- Zlatty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hahaha
thats awesome !
im sold - speaker219, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0great +digg
- voodooray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks like he has been done up to resemble a certain red character from the underworld, draping his tail around the neck of the person next to him, no? Either that, or Nightcrawlers brother... =)
