True, one could point at that it's a flawed analogy, since the ethnicity of the character played and the actor playing him do not merge. But most people would recognize that I understood this and that this was merely part of the joke.
Nonetheless, I was impressed by your command of Mel's heredity. Good on ya', mate.

Typical. Trying to deny the Irish credit for their accomplishments.
Also, I rather doubt that the *real* William Wallace yelled "Freedom!" at anyone, that actually being something else that Mel Gibson did, too.
