Tribe contests Gibson island sale
BBC

Villagers in a remote part of Fiji are planning a legal challenge against the Hollywood star Mel Gibson over the sale of a South Pacific island.

Gibson is believed to have purchased the 5,411-acre Mago island in Fiji's Northern Lau group for £7.8 million.

But the Yavusa Vuaniivi tribe on the neighbouring island of Namalata have told the Fiji Times they are Mago's rightful owners.

The director visited Mago - pronounced Mungo - with his family in December.

1. Hey, Mel, the Christian thing to do would be to...
...convert them all and, then, enslave the healthy ones and kill the rest.

2. Wow. Exactly.
That is, if he's the traditional type. Otherwise, he may skip the killing part, and the slavery would just be wage slavery instead.
