See Ya Mel, It's Been Swell

Here's a good piece by Christopher Hitchens on Mel Gibson's recent faux pas. And it got me thinking about all the things that we're more likely to see than another Hollywood-financed Mel Gibson movie.

• Middle East peace
• a cure for the common cold
• a non-leaking restaurant teapot
• a commercially viable solar car
• fat-burning chocolate eclairs
• the invention of the orgasmatron
• Ishtar II

Feel free to add your own to the list. I was going to include the Leafs winning the Stanley Cup, but that's a little farfetched.
