I'm so out of loop... what stupid joke?
from a gossip site:
Halle was promoting her new movie “Things We Lost in The Fire” and was using her laptop to show Jay distorted pictures of herself. Sounds like comedy gold to me. What could possibly go wrong? Page Six reports:
According to one audience member, "She introduced the first photo by saying, 'Here's where I look like my Jewish cousin!' - it was a picture of her with a huge, distorted nose. No one laughed, and Jay nervously said, 'I'm glad you said that and not me.' When the show aired, they cut out her 'Jewish' comment and added a laugh track to the bit."
classy
What's annoying is the publicity this is giving such a very lame actress. It was a weak joke and I agree that it was offensive, but it wasn't really that offensive to me ( as a non-practicing Jew), just another example of the brain power of Hollywood.
What is upsetting to me is hearing the absurdity at my son's school after J.K. Rowling's announcement that Dumbledore is gay.
I spoke to a mom yesterday who has six kids (keeping comments to myself), four of whom go to this school and were going to dress as various characters from Harry Potter for Halloween. The mom was livid because, as she put it, "I'm gonna write a letter to her and tell her that my kids are never gonna read those books ever again. She's ruined those books for my kids!" And today she was tearfully talking to another sympathetic mother about having to throw away all of her kids' costumes.
Ohh sweet god that is fucking terrible. Ohh I am so tired of other people.

On the other hand, I'm sure there are quite a few men revising their holloween costume ideas.
That's fucking ridiculous. It never ceases to amaze me what spare critical thinking skills some people have.
Does anyone remember this?

wow, dani, you must have had a pretty hard time restraining yourself. i find that when someone says something along those lines to me, I don't say anything and then later I think of all the wise and tactful things I could have said to put them in their place. Like "fuck you". jk
That is really stupid. Of course, no the other end of the spectrum, living right off Broadway in Seattle's Capitol hill, I think I'm going to see an annoying influx of kitsched-out Dumbledore costumes. At least that's just the quarky, docile end of bad taste, though.
Yawn.
hey anon-that's awesome that you were reading this blog at 10 pm (why would you read this at home? i guess maybe you don't have a desk job where you read the internet all day) and felt moved to anonymously write a one word snotty comment. i bet you felt a lot of satisfaction as you pressed enter on that one and maybe inwardly high-fived yourself. or were you just sleepy and you type whatever is happening to you?
Sorry to have made you so upset. I was just thinking who cares if Halle Berry makes some lame quip suggesting Jewish people tend to have big noses?
I can search your site right now and find jokes suggesting that Jewish women are emotionally manipulative guilt-trippers. To me, that's a worse charge than the suggestion that they have, on average, larger noses than "Goys" -- a term I know you are familiar with, since another search shows that its a word that you've used in a past post.
It's also a word that is "often offensive." That's not me talking. That's the American Heritage Dictionary. Still, I am not offended. Should I be?
Again, sorry to ruffle your feathers. Are you gonna Orwell this comment now?
