Is this a Sex and the City move tie-in?

I’m not saying I’m the most fashionable person.  My Yankees’ kippah is cute, but not exactly couture.

Still, I think I can spot a fashion foul—like an Amazon showing her tuchus on the tennis court. 

Oy.

Casual Anti-Semitism of the Week: Virginia

Posted by The Annoyed Jew

Hans Landa's spiritual cousin

http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/05/27/casual-anti-semitism-of-the-week-virginia/

So Virginia—the mother of American independence—elected a Governor who hates gays and loves the Confederacy.  Some might say par for the course.  But, wait, it gets better…

He’s now appointed Fred Malek to an important government position.  Mr. Malek, if you’ll recall (and you probably don’t, but will from now on) was Richard Nixon’s ghetto sheriff, identifying then demoting the Jews who somehow rose to prominent positions during the Nixon administration.

I know filling out the Census is supposed to be the right thing to do—but if you live in Virginia and can quote every episode of Seinfeld, make sure you don’t wind up on Malek’s list!

Trayf of the Week: “Traif”

Posted by The Annoyed Jew

If you're going to eat the pig, why make it so cute?

http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/05/26/trayf-of-the-week-traif/

Williamsburg, Brooklyn—ground-zero in the battle of Old vs. New World annoyance—has given birth to the third rail of Heeby fressing: a new restaurant called “Traif.”

Ordinarily, we’d be up in arms… but we converted to Southern Baptist the moment we saw the strawberry-cinnamon glazed pork ribs on the menu.

Young Seinfelds

Yes, Jerry Seinfeld has made about a billion dollars off of Yid jokes.

No, you won’t.

This is knowledge that every Jewish parent needs to impart.  It is, in fact, the responsibility of every mameh and tateh to shame little Gerald into going to medical school… or dental school… or even podiatry school.  He needs a profession!

You should not be filling him with pipe dreams and putting him on YouTube.

Lost

Posted by The Annoyed Jew

I felt more redeemed at the end of Beretta

http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/05/24/lost/

If you were to tell a Jew, here’s a story about a few recognizable archetypes stranded on an island he’d say - “Oh, it’s Gilligan’s Island.”

But, no, you say—it’s not funny—it’s got a lot of death and redemption and the main character’s name is Shephard. “Oh,” he’d say, “it’s a Christian parable.”

And millions of Americans are surprised… why?

Lunatics who can’t handle Muhammad drawings

Posted by The Annoyed Jew

Ever notice how Jews don’t threaten Holy War over big-nosed Yid drawings?  Perhaps that’s because we have better ways of exacting revenge.

You don’t see Mel Gibson headlining any Hollywood films these days, do you?

Hippies

Now haggling -- that I understand

http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/05/19/hippies/

So the St. Louis Bread company is trying out stores where you pay what you want? I’ve never heard of such communist goyishe mishegas in all my life.

How are you supposed to make a living when people can do what they want?  I think the whole thing is some sort of bizarre trap.  And if I’m ever caught in St. Louis, I’m paying for the stupid bread—kein ayin hara.

Arizona

http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/05/18/arizona/

All this howling about the new immigration law is much tsuris about nothing.  Desert states aren’t supposed to be peaceful.

Hashem could have made Arizona a land of milk and honey—instead, he made it a land of cactus, rednecks and aged Yids.  Let’s respect that.

Hashem called the dry land “earth.” And He saw it wasn’t good. But He knew no take-backs!

Russians

Posted by The Annoyed Jew

And honeymoon was really his only shot...

http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/05/17/russians/

Communism may be dead, but Russia keeps finding new ways to muck up the best things in life.  Case in point: What’s the best part of marriage?  The honeymoon—and the afterglow known as the honeymoon phase.

Well, cosmonaut Alexei Sitev is gonna skip that with 18 months of… a simulated trip to Mars.

When he comes back—not only won’t he have actually gone anywhere—but you can rest assured his beloved geek trophies will be moved out and his mother-in-law moved in.

Sex and the City 2

Posted by The Annoyed Jew

http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/05/14/sex-and-the-city-2/

Since when does a nice Jewish girl have to go to Abu Dhabi to meet an old flame? Normally all you need to do is wait until you catch him lighting a Yahrzeit candle, offer him some Kleenex and kugel, and you’re in.

They're watching you... to help you... buy things.

http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/05/13/facebook/

This is no longer a “social networking website”—it’s a monolith hell-bent on global hegemony. 

Facebook’s new privacy settings require you to understand and fulfill an elaborate series of commands to opt-out of hell. 

Leave it to Mark Zuckerberg (a Yid) to reinvent Catholicism.

Elena Kagan

There’s thought that Jewish Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan might be bad for Hollywood—and since we run Hollywood, that would mean bad for us.

Though one has to wonder if she’s so anti-Hollywood, why is she dating Miranda from Sex and the City?

California’s Bankruptcy Dance

Posted by The Annoyed Jew

Use caution? I can't -- I respect her too much.

http://whatsannoyingjews.com/2010/05/11/california/

In case you missed it, California is broke.  All together now: How broke is it?  So broke that sales tax is 10%, 300 courts have been shut down, and soon the state may stop fixing sidewalks.

I guess that almost makes sense.  I mean, who walks in LA?  It’s the same logic I used when deciding not to fix my botched circumcision.

Beyonce

“If you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it” is the most co-opted bit of Yiddish musical wisdom since Gwen Stefani sampled, “If I were a rich man.”  Seriously, how do you win six Grammys for repeating something my mother snidely said in East Meadow in 1975?
