Aussies liking their beer, and Texans liking their guns are not hugely negative stereotypes.

How about I start saying all Aussies are f***ing uneducated criminals.
How about everyone from Alabama are white hood wearing, nigger haters.
Or more on-topic, All catholics are child-molesting weirdo's

Negative stereotypes are fine if you frame the joke correctly, but Dave's was just crude (as per usual)

Crude?

A pleased father takes his son to a synagogue because he has been gifted with business ability?

That isn't crude.

Having a girl with a tattoo on the back of her neck is much like having a bathroom with a magazine in it -
It gives you something to read while you're in the shitter.

Now that's crude, don't you think?

Marsha was walking along the beach with her young Daughter Shoshanna, when out of the blue a huge wave comes and sweeps Shoshhy out to see.

Immediately Marsha drops to her knees and begins to prey to God. "Please god, bring my daughter back to me, I will do anything. I'll go to Shul every week, I'll keep kosher, anything, just bring my daughter back".

At that, another huge wave rolls in and deposits Shoshanna at he rmother's feet. Marsha looks at her daughter, looks out to see, steps forward and with a raised fist she shouts "SHE HAD A HAT!!!!"

Not sure what that has to do with anything, but just maybe it's the same negative stereotype (Jews are money grubbing & self centered), but perhsps framed slightly less crudely than "You screwed someone out of some money, mazeltov!!"

So you are indicating that jews are mean and possessive?
I must report that as abuse and see that 160 points are removed from your reputation.

Feel free, unlike you - I care about rep points about as much as I care about the last dump I flushed down the loo.

Edit: And it's hilarious that you completely gloss over my point.

And I never, ever get the 'convict' thing. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

I'm not defending Dave. I'm just saying don't confuse a crude stereotype joke with a hate crime.

Of course you do Chris, and Jews will get the money thing till the end of time. There's no problem with making a joke about it - but like all of comedy its the timing and delivery that counts.
