Thanks for telling me what I think and how I would react to a hypothetical situation. And I'll repeat myself, as, once again, you miss the point, as you have so many dozens of times in the past:

"What gets me is that, even if this were a truly malicious prank that was expected to make it into the papers, it reflects on "CC," NOT the Jews. It's not meant to be harmful to Jews, it's meant to make CC look bad. Period. " -Me

Maybe this person doesn't like Jews. I don't know, and I'm not going to speculate. To say that it's a prank is not writing it off at all. That's what it is. A prank. A stupid, pointless prank. That's it. I don't know the person who did it, or the person to whom it refers, so I don't know exactly why it was done.

Back to the point: My issue is not with the ad, as it seems clear enough as to what it is. Do I think you're the only Jewish person who takes offense to it? Hardly. I'd be more concerned if the perpetrator had a history of violence against Jews. See it for what it is, and for what it seems the rest of us here seem to think it is: an idiotic act carried out by a very stupid person.

Speaking of stupid people, let's get back to you, since you're so comfortable putting words in my mouth and telling me what I think. I never once said that that ad didn't contain anti-Jewish sentiment, as it plainly does: "CC hates the Jews" means that CC harbors anti-Jewish sentiment. Duh. I said this THREAD is not about anti-semitism, or it wasn't until you showed up. Personally, I thought the ad was amusing, in a twisted way, just because of the juxtaposition of "CC hates the Jews" right above "HAPPY HANUKKAH!" It doesn't mean I hate Jews, or even mildly dislike them. I even have Jewish friends (God, I've been dying to use that line). It doesn't mean I'm a heartless or uncompassionate person. I just like the oddness created by two things that don't go together. Not everyone looks at the world the way you do, abcd. And thank God for that. You could work the evils of anti-semitism into a fucking Ford vs. Chevy debate. It's like you're just waiting for the opportunity to jump in with it.

This thread just seemed like a good opportunity to point out what an utterly miserable tightass you are, because this is how you react to EVERYTHING. I defy you to go back through every post you ever made here, and find ONE where you made a joke, or reacted in a humorous manner to a statement or situation (keep in mind that it does have to be funny). Find just one, and I'll apologize.

Until then, you're just the guy with the blank picket sign and the magic marker.
