Law & Order responded to this incident by creating an episode featuring an anti-Semitic has-been actor arrested for drunk driving. (In a somewhat inspired move, this ersatz Mel Gibson was played by noted Hollywood pain in the ass Chevy Chase.) The show even had evil Clark Griswold throw out the "sugar tits" card.

So what was the difference between reality and the Dick Wolf-verse? This version of Mel Gibson was covered with the blood of a Jewish TV producer, literally. And not-Mel's 14-year-old son was just as racist as he was. It turns out that this version of Gibson and his son collaborated to murder and dispose of the body of a former colleague ... together.
