Some Jews Are Very Stupid - LA Jewish Journal Edition

You thought that this was going to be another post about how stupid the ADL is for making a big deal about the Passion, which was all in all not a terrible rendition of a particular kind of - admittedly heretical - Catholicism. Alas, this one is about Jews dumber than Abe Foxman. This is from the Jewish Journal, an outlet with which we've had run-ins before. At one time, we briefly considered not totally hating them because they've published Rick Richman of Jewish Current Issues, who is brilliant, a local, and far too good to us. But sorry, this kind of stuff is just too stupid:

Face it, the previews for Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" look pretty darn cool. And there wasn't a Jew in sight in Mexico circa 1000 C.E., so I don't think we have to worry about anti-Semitism. Of course, that could change if the movie sentimentalizes human sacrifice -- and Jews take the politically incorrect tack of criticizing the right of indigenous peoples to rip-out still-beating hearts from the chests of virgins.

But there's a bigger issue: Do we want to give our money to Mel? Remember how his "Passion" stirred our passions? How this past summer, he ranted about us "f--- Jews," that we "started all the wars in the world"? Sure, he apologized - belatedly, but the reaction of Barbara Walters, that icon of Jewish morality and daytime talk show host, was typical: "I don't think I want to see any more Mel Gibson movies."... Relax, Mel and Babs. The door is never closed -- except maybe on a hit movie's opening weekend. This revelation came to me a couple of years ago, when I watched "The Passion" -- after buying a ticket to a different movie... But my "skipping-in" (teen slang for the practice) to see "The Passion" was just the result of a last minute impulse to avoid funding anti-Semitism.

(1) "Rip out" is two words, not one big word.
(2) It's not called "skipping-in" by anybody, let alone teenagers who use any kind of slang. This is pathetic.
(3) If it was called "skipping in", that also would be two words.
(4) Idiot.

Where do they get these guys?
