Science tackles the Mel Gibson problem

AdFreak has been abuzz with Mel Gibson sniglets of late, with most not showing much sympathy for his plight. Understandable, but all is not lost for ol’ Mel—science may step in to save him from himself. Specifically, Reuters reports an “anti-stupidity" pill being tested in Germany. The pill reportedly thwarts “hyperactivity in certain brain nerve cells, helping stabilize short-term memory and improve attentiveness.” The extent to which it prevents anti-Semitic outbursts or self-indulgent Jesus biopics is unknown, but testing the pill on mice and fruit flies has shown positive results thus far.
