Anti-semitic?

Haha. Yeah that's pretty offensive. Lucky for the brand, though. They're getting lots of advertising from a silly billboard. They probably knew it would get some attention. Those sneaky little marketers.

Why is it possibly offensive but definitely not anti-semitic?

 

If it's offensive it is so only because it would be anti-semitic.

Antisemitism implies hatred and discrimination. That sign doesn't say 'Jews are so cheap, don't trust them'. It's clearly a lighthearted joke with little implied hatred. In fact, it's just a stereotype. That's about it. Some people might not like to be stereotyped as cheap, but there's nothing wrong with being cheap and there's no hatred being expressed from that sign about somebody being cheap. In fact, it's promoting being cheap.

Meh, it's a semantic argument. Not really worth it.

War Against Christmas season is my favorite season.

 

Was that a general comment? Because, I mean, this isn't that as far as I can tell.

Check the post above the one you quoted.

Where my Heebs at?

 

Right here, oy.

 

I still think it's funny. I can see why people would think it's offensive, though.

 

Challah. It's weird. I'm just amused that the guy in charge of that marketing campaign is actually a member of the tribe. He wanted to convey that Hanukkah is an "understated" holiday or something like that. But you bet your tuchus the ADL was going to get involved.

Yeah, what a meshuganah! He can gai kahken afenyam!

I'm not a Jew but I do love Hebrew National hotdogs.

 

Which, coincidentally, are not [strictly/glatt] kosher.

For shame!
