...Most of the movies so-called victims, however, ask for it. The film's running gag is that Borat, like all of his supposed countrymen, has a childlike fear of Jews (a joke, of course, since Cohen and most of the film's primary perpetrators are Jewish). In his home town, the annual event is the Running of the Jew; and when he and his team travel across the U.S., they decide to drive (in an ice cream wagon) because his producer "insisted we not fly, in case the Jews repeated their attack of 9/11."

...people talk. Imagine if OHinNY existed in 1906... The blog is an interesting contribution to an archive of what life is like today, as well as a re-creation of what it's like to walk down the street in New York.

And Jean Shepherd, whom I cherish as a radio monologist, later railed against the Lenny Bruce threat ? of the hip people lording it over the square ? saying it was "a new kind of Jew burning, I think it could lead to a new kind of gas oven." (Goldman, Bruce's biographer, wrote...
...said Ganji, speaking in a large screening room adorned with an original Jasper Johns and other post-modernist art. That comment and others raised the hackles of many in attendance, including multibillionaire media mogul Haim Saban, who asked, "When was the last time you saw a Christian or a Jew put a belt around their stomach, go on a bus, and kill innocent women and children...
