Insult. Apologize. Redeem.

Insult. Apologize. Redeem.
This is how it seems the cycle goes with every single celebrity who says something dumb, and so it shall be with Gary Oldman. After he completed Step 1 earlier this week with his remarks about the Jews in this month’s issue of Playboy, the veteran actor (who next will appear in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) issued an apology last night.
Rather than speak publicly, though, he chose to send a letter. Addressed to the Anti-Defamation League, it read:
Dear Gentlemen of the ADL:
Now that he’s completed his apology, Oldman will need to take the requisite couple days out of the spotlight and just “try to get back to normal.” Ideally, to expedite the healing process, we prescribe at least 10 minutes with either Oprah or Ellen. If possible, he should try to be photographed laughing with a famous Jewish person.
After a week more of public hand-wringing, all will be forgiven. Then, we can go see Planet of the Apes without having to worry about the morality of willingly putting money in his pocket.
