Spring Time for Hitler

I didn't go to Med Show but apparently one of the skits had Hitler singing and dancing to 'Teddy Bear picnic.' I know this, because there was an article on the cover of the Gateway mentioning that Hillel House thought that this was distasteful because it conjured historical memories the awful circumstances of the holocaust. Since this was in the last issue of the Gateway of the semester and the last one I'll ever read I don't have the opportunity to write an opinion letter. I just have one comment for the folks at Hillel house: Mel Brooks. The Jewish people have a fine, almost tradition, of being excellent humorists. Unfortunately there's also the stereotype/ reputation for getting overly offended alot (e.g. South Park's Sheila Broflovski). These guys should save their outrage for actual incidents of anti-semitism. I've seen anti-semitism. A guy on your floor naming a poorly constructed grill cheese sandwich a 'Jew Face' sandwich, even in jest, is anti-Semitic. A cab driver jokingly stating that kosher means that a rabbi pisses on the food; that's anti-Semitic. A room full of red-necks singing "Throw the Jew down the Well"; that's also anti-Semitic. Having Hitler sing something completely ridiculous; that's just funny.
