Seth macfarlane misogynist?, misanthrope?, or just a moron?

"It only reinforces stereotypes which legitimize anti-Semitism. It is sad and disheartening that the Oscars awards show sought to use anti-Jewish stereotypes for laughs," said ADL national director in the US, Abraham Foxman.

Wah wah wah. Professional victimhood is annoying. Seth McFarlane is a comedian, get over yourselves.

Jokes about Rihanna and Chris Brown are side splitters, but they make a joke out of domestic violence.

To the moon, alice!

Who said I hated Abe Foxman?
I just get tired of the professional victim hood and whining in this country over every perceived offense. The fake apologies people have to make to the outrage pimps gets old too.

Seth McFarlane makes jokes for a living [...]. Comedy is SUPPOSED to be edgy, it's supposed to mock our stereotpyes as well as our accepted standards. Most importantly, it's supposed to make us slightly uncomfortable, as it's merely an exaggeration of reality.

Seth McFarlane didn't plant a bomb or tell the audience to kill (insert stereotype here). He told jokes. JOKES. Get hold of yourselves, folks.

What if the same mockery had been made of gays?

It was. Maher tweeted "now for the gay part of the oscars" and no one threw their purse at him.

If they had made fun of catholics though...diablo would have shot his tv.

Same reason I dig south park, UBD...no one is safe from ridicule.

Oh, I do?

Thank you for reading my mind. Next you can type my posts. I'll send you my account information so you can log in as me.

Alex you can argue about the words but you clearly dislike Abe Foxman.

What I clearly dislike is that Seth McFarlane's jokes were considered "legitimizing" of anti semitism.
That's a crock. I don't care who said it, they're being over sensitive.

I was speaking in general about the USA, tor. Seems like you can't take two steps without someone getting offended over something stupid.

But, you're right. I very clearly hate Abe Foxman, because he's a jew...and because of Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Foxman" movie last year.

Foxman is being over sensitive. There's a lot of that in this country.

A sketch with Ted provoked some of the harshest criticism. The bear said his real name was Theodore Shapiro, adding: "I would like to donate money to Israel and continue to work in Hollywood forever. Thank you."

I'd like to point out that a puppet of a TEDDY BEAR in a COMEDY SKETCH, (by a comedian who bashes everyone equally) uttered that line.

Slow news day for the ADL?

" Professional victims".

Get offended by what is basically a brown sock telling a dumb joke.
The ADL really has better things to do with their time than this.
