I'll just stop there

If reincarnation exists, several more lives of being born into a marginalized category are in the cards for him.

That Spielberg fella has got to be proud to be associated with this fine magazine. The dying gasp of both the career of a violently unfunny person, and a sick little magazine. Here's a photo of the funny guy that runs "Heeb." (On left). Don't worry about giving them a burst of publicity.. it doens't matter at this late date.

Why that's the Jewish Robot, of course.

Jews by virtue of culture are a sarcastic peoples, and if we (ok, I'm a halfie, but fuckit, I'll step up) can't stomach even the extremes such as Rosie donning Hitler garb, then, suffice it to say, the Nazis have won.. Strength comes in tolerance and that includes even seemingly distasteful holocaust references. Combine that with the self-hating nature of American Jews and you have Heeb.

Sorry Lob, sounds ok in theory. This is a fail in my book.

But just for funzies, why is Mel Brooks off the hook for Springtime for Hitler?

I'm not even Jewish and I find that picture unspeakably offensive.

I usually pretty much detest Rosanne, but I have to admit that I'm a little teeny bit in awe of how much she's willing to push the envelope.

I guess my concern is that she's pushing an envelope that others have pushed before in more interesting and effective ways.
In the world outside of humor I think Leon Wieseltier's essay "Hitler is Dead" addresses this issue--and reinforces your point--more effectively than anything Rosanne could dream of.

Seriously, read the essay. I know you can. She can do something tasteless and shocking, but what else has she got? Epater les bourgeoises [or substitute] is an old trick. Cheap attention-getting is easier than not giving the flying F, which means defining one's own agenda rather than primarily reacting or hoping for a reaction.

I smell pandering.
Thus definitively marking the end of Colbert as cool and beginning the era of Colbert as corporate tool of winking rebellion.

I watch people in finance and advertising praying right now that they don't lose their jobs, and walking on tenterhooks, while Piven - who seems easily exchangeable for 100 other underworked balding, short actors - seems to think it's 2005.
Like Reagan did with PATCO - just stop giving him work and see how fast he gets over his "illness". I just don't understand how he isn't afraid for his career.

He has clearly forgotten the salient lesson learnt in Entourage Series 3 - Superstar Survival Hints 101: 'Vinnie discovers his shit does actually smell like shit'.

In his tiny little mind, it's "only theater" and he's a big cable TV star now... as if he isn't just one HBO very-special-series-end-episode away from being grateful for whatever he can get.
Often actors just aren't that smart.

In all seriousness, I think the fact that the rest of his class-mates hated him so much led to him "faking sick" so he didn't have to go to school anymore.
01/08/09
Ha!
Though if he had done his homework and showed up on time, they probably wouldn't have hated him quite as much.
Though I doubt that. He looks like he smells of Axe Body Spray and flop sweat. And state pizza.

"Often actors just aren't that smart"
This, I totally agree with. Followed on the IQ scale only by the models who actually succumb to a text message saying "first one to my apartment wins".
I could do without half the people in my office, but I'd be fired for calling in with "mercury poisoning". I wish there would be ramifications for people like this, rather than models and trips to Bangkok.

And what happened to Midge after she stopped working at Scores?
