‘The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into ovens’ – Joan Rivers
Joan Rivers, 79, has caused quite the controversy during ‘Fashion Police on E!
After the Oscars, while discussing Heidi Klum, Ms. Rivers stated that “the last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into ovens” in the dress she wore for the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party in West Hollywood. After making the joke, Rivers doubled over laughing.
While Klum does look pretty fucking incredible, Rivers choice of words has been criticized by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), an organization that combats antisemitism.
ADL leader Abraham Foxman said: ‘Of all people, Joan Rivers should know better. This remark is so vulgar and offensive to Jews and Holocaust survivors, and indeed to all Americans, that we cannot believe it made it to the airwaves.
‘Making it worse, not one of her co-hosts made any effort to respond or to condemn this hideous statement, leaving it hanging out there and giving it added legitimacy through their silence.
‘Almost as bad as her original comment is the fact that she sat there doubled over with laughter after saying it.’
He continued: ‘There are certain things about the Holocaust that should be taboo. This is especially true for Jews, for whom the Holocaust is still a deeply painful memory.
‘It is vulgar and offensive for anybody to use the death of six million Jews and millions of others in the Holocaust to make a joke, but this is especially true for someone who is Jewish and who proudly and publicly wears her Jewishness on her sleeve.’
Joan Rivers has refused to apologize and believe it keeps the Holocaust alive in societies eyes. She said: ‘My husband lost the majority of his family at Auschwitz, and I can assure you that I have always made it a point to remind people of the Holocaust through humor.’

[VIDEO] Dad Puts Toddler in Washing Machine Before it Automatically Locks and Turns On
While it is unclear why this dad put his child into a laundry machine, I have a feeling it was meant to be a joke considering the sign that read ”Junior Wash: $2.95.” right above the machine. According to many other sources, this was meant to scare the child, which is ironic because the parents ended up scaring themselves. Either way, they (the mother and father) seem unaware that the door would automatically lock and begin filling the washer with water while gently tumbling. After a worker was able to help them shut down the machine, they quickly exited with the toddler, who only suffered minor bruises and scrapes. I think putting the kid in the washing machine WITHOUT closing the door would have been enough, but then again, what do I know?

My Opinion Of Jeremy Lin
The impressive part of Jeremy Lin is he’s doing all this with his eyes closed
Okay, while I may not have been the one to originally state this fact, I do agree that this is rather hilarious. And please don’t bombard my comment feed claiming that I’m a racist, because despite what you may think, I simply have a sense of humor. Also, I don’t take this literally and don’t think that Jeremy Lin is running around during an NBA game with his eyes shut, that would just be stupid.
Some fun facts about Mr. Lin:
1. born in Los Angeles on August 23, 1988 to Taiwanese parents who immigrated to the U.S. in the mid-1970s
2. graduated from Harvard University in 2010 and didn’t receive an athletic scholarship (Ivy League schools don’t offer any)
3. Lin signed a two-year deal with The Golden State Warriors in 2010 and was the 1st American of Chinese/Taiwanese descent to play in the NBA.
4. In December, 2011, Lin signed on with the Houston Rockets, where he played 7 minutes in two pre-season games. Before the start of the season, the Rockets waived Lin from the team. The NY Knicks picked up the 23-year-old shortly after to serve as a backup for Toney Douglass and Mike Bibby.
5. On February 4th, 2012, Lin was finally able to play and scored and incredible 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists — all career highs in a 99 – 92 Knicks victory over the NJ Jets.

[VIDEO] Mayor Says He’ll Eat Tacos To Support Latino Community: Big Mistake
Introducing… Mayor Taco
East Haven, Connecticut‘s mayor, Joseph Maturo Jr., is in deep shit after making the statement in the video above. You’re going to eat tacos to support the latino community?! Are you kidding?! How on earth did you think that this wouldn’t be controversial. Anyway, it has.
Although he has apologized many times, he has refused to resign despite the growing number of people insisting he do so.
Maturo has been mayor off and on since 1997 in this predominantly white, blue-collar town on the shore of Long Island Sound where Latino residents comprise about 10 percent of its population of 29,000. East Haven has been under federal scrutiny since the U.S. Justice Department launched a civil rights probe in 2009 that found discrimination and biased policing against Latinos.
I think the guy just wanted some tacos, and felt the latino community would be delighted that he was comfortable enough to eat the food that they brought here to the United States. Right? It was meant to express a meal together much like that of Thanksgiving between the Native Americans and the Pilgrims, I’m sure. Oh, wait… the Native Americans were taken advantage of and treated like 3rd class citizens…

[VIDEO] Mitt Romney Treats Man In Wheelchair Suffering From Muscular Dystrophy With No Respect
Mitt Romney is a despicable choice for President of The United States and I’m utterly disappointed in the individuals that are voting for him to be the Republican Candidate. Ignoring a man who has a question and is suffering a fatal disorder is an awful way to handle ones self when running for President, the man who takes care of the nation and its citizens.

Canada Not Allowing Fox In Their Country Due To A Law Against Lying During News Broadcasts
It would be great if American came to its senses and imposed a law like this for our media outlets. We are lied to and therefore, unable to make intelligent and informed decisions. Luckily, the country that many Americans don’t take seriously is allowing their citizens to be educated. It’s nice though to see a country acknowledge their lies considering that all of us are aware, but just treat it as a joke.
As America’s middle class battles for its survival on the Wisconsin barricades – against various Koch Oil surrogates and the corporate toadies at Fox News – fans of enlightenment, democracy and justice can take comfort from a significant victory north of the Wisconsin border. Fox News will not be moving into Canada after all! The reason: Canadian regulators announced last week they would reject efforts by Canada’s right-wing Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news.
Canada’s Radio Act requires that “a licenser may not broadcast … any false or misleading news.” The provision has kept Fox News and right-wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage, including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the “Fairness Doctrine” in 1987.
Political dialogue in Canada is marked by civility, modesty, honesty, collegiality, and idealism that have pretty much disappeared on the US airwaves. When Stephen Harper moved to abolish the anti-lying provision of the Radio Act, Canadians rose up to oppose him fearing that their tradition of honest non-partisan news would be replaced by the toxic, overtly partisan, biased and dishonest news coverage familiar to American citizens who listen to Fox News and talk radio. Harper’s proposal was timed to facilitate the launch of a new right-wing network, “Sun TV News” which Canadians call “Fox News North.

Thursday 4Play: Republicans
Seeing as we’ve been seeing a lot of the Republican nominees lately, I figured it’s as good a time as ever to poke fun at the Republican Party. I’ve gathered some pretty funny photos, that just so happen to reflect my opinion on the matter quite truthfully. And for those of you who are Republican and find this insulting, I promise to poke fun at myself and other Democrats on one of the upcoming Thursday 4Play’s.
