So offensive

I didn't see that ad, but I'm horrified. And offended. And disappointed.

Oy Vey! I am glad I live in a blue state and don't have to see this stuff.

I have but two thoughts re this piece:

Nischt for the goyem, and are you sure the one in the middle isn't a man?

It's that depilatory problem -- AI is feeling it too.

I've seen the original*, thanks to the Forverts.

It's quite the theatrical number, let me tell you.

I tried to add a link about the Repubican Jewish Coalition commercial to the subhed, but had problems with Substack. A link has been added to the first sentence in the story, which I hope will explain this for those who haven't seen the ad.

The commercial that this is a parody of was filmed in my local deli —right around the block from my house.

This is Philadelphia’s Main Line — you’d better believe that the Jewish women in this zip code would never dress or talk like that.

This commercial was very controversial locally, with many Hymies customers vowing never again to darken its doors when they needed chicken soup or bagels.

It's a parody of a pro-Trump television commercial funded by the Republican Jewish Coalition which I found to be offensive for both its portrayal of Jews and its scare tactics.

The commercial is on heavy rotation in Scottsdale AZ where the number of Trump supporting Jews is insane. Great piece as usual 🙂
