CDC Issues Warning to Jewish Doctors with Daughters. National Lampoon, 2001.
"The Center for Disease Control issued a warning today to all physicians born of Jewish descent that their daughters could be 1000 times more likely than non-Jewish doctors' daughters to become slutty, sexually-charged adultering whores. The CDC has already identified what they refer to as a 'Major Slut-Whore Cluster' in Southern California. Tomorrow, they plan to obtain blood and semen samples from Jewish M.D.'s in the region including: Dr. Fleiss, father of Heidi Fleiss, Dr. Lewinsky, father of Monica Lewinsky and Dr. Levy, father of Chandra Levy. Researchers remain baffled as to why this strange disease: SDS (Slutty Daughter Syndrome) seems to afflict only the daughters of Jewish doctors."

Jewish Jokes and Anti-Semitism.
Australian Journal of Comedy, Vol. 1, No. 1, 1995
"It is not an easy matter to locate that line between acceptability and nonacceptability. We might say that a Jewish joke is not anti-Semitic if it is conveyed by Jews, to Jews, about Jews, and neither explicitly asserts nor remotely implies disparagement of Jews as a group. It does appear to be anti-Semitic if it contains over-simplified and deprecating judgements and negative or inaccurate generalisations about Jews by non-Jews, and directly or indirectly furthers malignant stereotypes and/or leads to acts of intimidation, provocation, bigotry, prejudice,discrimination or physical aggression. In reality however, the distinctions are far more complicated and difficult to make, requiring a more careful, critical, and dispassionate evaluation of intention, purpose, and consequence, witting or unwitting."

Jewish Anti-Deprecation League Protests New Woody Allen Movie. The Onion
"The Jewish Anti-Deprecation League picketed the New York premiere of Woody Allen's latest film, Waltzing With Schopenhauer, Monday, arguing that it 'perpetuates misleading stereotypes of Jewish self-deprecation that do not reflect the modern Jewish-American experience.' The JADL is decrying Allen's portrayal of the film's lead character, Reuben Hirschhorn, a Columbia University creative-writing professor who, despite achieving considerable personal and career success, is plagued by severe self-doubt, hypochondria, perceived sexual inadequacies, an inability to commit to long-term relationships, existential angst, an obsessive fear of death, and disturbing dreams involving his overbearing mother making chicken soup for Nazi propaganda minister Josef Goebbels. 'Mr. Allen has made a career out of presenting his own foibles and insecurities as characteristic of all Jews,' JADL executive director Howard Klosterman said. 'Jews are tired of seeing themselves routinely represented as neurotics who can't enjoy their lives, no matter how successful, and Mr. Allen is one of the primary perpetrators of this offensive cliche.'"

'I Am Not an Anti-Semite!' jokezine.com
"'I am not an anti-Semite,' Hillary Clinton declared in a beer hall in a German blue-collar neighborhood outside of Buffalo, New York. She went on to explain, 'Die Rede ist von Miniatur-Lastwagen - bis aufs kleinste Detail den großen Originalen nachgebaut. Und das keineswegs nach Anleitung durch einen Bausatz, sondern der eigenen Kreativität entsprechend' to a chorus of thunderous applause."

Ali's Shocking Punch(line), Washington Post, December 18, 2001
"We have always admired Muhammad Ali, so we hoped our ears were deceiving us when we heard the 59-year-old former heavyweight champion of the world tell a couple of off-color jokes at the Washington premiere party for 'Ali,' the biopic starring Will Smith as the champ and Ron Silver as trainer Angelo Dundee. As Ali took the microphone at the Georgetown restaurant Cafe Milano – with Mayor Tony Williams standing behind him on the podium – Ali's fourth wife, Lonnie, could be heard advising him: 'No, no, no, don't.' But before a packed crowd that included Silver, Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe, former Republican party chairman Frank Fahrenkopf and plutocrat-philanthropists Jim Kimsey and Joe Robert – Ali let 'er rip. 'What's the difference between a Jew and a canoe?' the legendary boxer asked, his voice slightly muffled from the effects of Parkinson's disease. 'A canoe tips!' The crowd, which included more than a few Jewish folks, including Silver, reacted with laughter – some of it uncomfortable."

Angered by Snubbing, Libya, China, Syria Form Axis of Just as Evil,
satire.com, February 2002
""In Speech, Bush Calls Iraq, Iran and North Korea 'Axis of Evil' -- N.Y. Times, 1/30/02 -- Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the 'Axis of Evil,' Libya, China, and Syria today announced they had formed the 'Axis of Just as Evil,' which they said would be way eviler than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of his State of the Union address ... While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axes, although he rejected the establishment of the Axis of Countries Whose Names End in 'Guay,' accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges. Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately, world leaders said that's only because no one asked them."

Who Is a Comedian?, The Gantseh Megillah, Volume 3, Issue 3
"Listen to Jackie Mason: "A normal person wouldn't become a comedian. The egomania, the neurosis, the need to overcompensate, the feeling that life is meaningless without stardom - it's too much suffering." So who becomes a comedian?

Queer Settlers Land on Berkeley Starbucks,
QUIT!, August 2002
"About 25 queer settlers descended on a downtown Berkeley Starbucks [the Starbucks chain is owned by Jewish Zionist activist Howard Schultz] on Saturday, August 17, claiming Berkeley as 'a city without people for people without a city.' The group, organized by Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism (QUIT!), posted a banner proclaiming the reclaimed café 'Queerkeley – A Prophecy Fulfilled.' They also erected homes (transformed 'Palestinian civilian homes reclaimed from another street theatre action), lawn furniture, and signs reading, 'It Works In Palestine, Why Not Here?' and 'It’s Ours Because We Say So.' They erected plastic palm trees to 'make the concrete bloom,' and gave patrons a tract explaining their religious claim to the land ...
