Actor Mel Gibson’s visit to the Twin Cities—including a stop at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley—has been garnering media attention, as well as comments on Facebook.

For instance, as of 3 p.m. Friday (Sept. 21), a photo of Gibson posted on the zoo’s Facebook page collected 1,031 “likes” and 91 comments.

Some of those comments can’t be described as Minnesota Nice.

Here is a sample:

He's not my favorite celebrity, but cool that he's taking time to visit our beloved zoo. I hope he enjoyed it and left a nice donation ;)

Did he punch a buffalo in the face?

My boyfriend and I got to see him at the zoo. It looked like he was there with some family maybe. Hope they had a good time, I know we did.
