I’m sure there’s a lot to say about douchey Rick Sanchez and his “Jon Stewart is a bigot and Jews run the media” nonsense, but the guy’s already been fired. And frankly, nothing I could write here could top our lil’ Jon’s wicked smart and surprisingly compassionate response.
Instead, let’s check out the Jewish stereotypes in the short film “A Reuben By Any Other Name”:

Kosher corned beef, soy cheese, sauerkraut, Russian dressing, toasted rye = kosher, lactose free Reuben … the slaw is a side dish peeps! … but hey, I affirm your right to have your Reuben anyway you like him 😉
Yes, soy cheese solves the logistics – but the principle dilemma remains. And soy cheese is blecchy, no?
I kinda like it in a bland cardboardish sorta way — the real stuff is much yummier but then makes me feel all blecchy 🙁
