great moments in ethnic/cultural sensitivity there, guys.

1. Saw that.

Jaw dropped.

[longship]

2. That is an odious characterization!

No more message necessary!

[Politicalboi]

3. Tomorrow!

Free horn removal.

4. Sara Silverman has been moonlighting

12. It does sound like something from her stand-up routine.

or a reference to the "The Rat Pack Gets Bigoted" cd they had a parody commercial for on FAMILY GUY(it featured, among other things, Frank Sinatra singing a song called "Your Big Jewish Nose&quot .

5. The h/l I saw says "Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me … a nose job appointment?"

Did they change it? Besides, that's what the plastic surgeon is offering: free nose jobs to Orthodox Jews—through their matchmakers.

The doctor himself is an Orthodox Jew, and refers to himself as “the Nose King of Miami.”

Why do you think this is bad on CNN's part?

6. I was talking about the link headline on the front page.

n/t.

7. Even that headline is dicey, at best

And the doctor is essentially advocating that single Orthodox Jewish people mutilate their faces in a desperate attempt to fit in with Gentile standards of beauty. He's the self-loathing equivalent of the people in the black community that sell "fade cream" and that at one point applied heavy pressure on their fellow blacks to straighten their hair by rubbing caustic chemicals into their scalps.

It's all an encouragement of the acceptance of the idea that what people of one's own ethnicity look like is unacceptable. No one should ever give that message to anybody.

9. Yeah-- a Jewish writer talking about Jewish nosejobs done by a Jewish doctor. So...

who are we to get our noses out of joint?

[badtoworse]

13. LOL!

[aquart]

8. Who's offering?

[Ken Burch]

10. The guy in the article.

He's trying to get Jewish people to mutilate their faces in the name of appealing to a bogus goyische standard of beauty. It's like the days when black people were made to feel obligated to rub lye into their scalps in order to straighten their hair.

You'd have thought the success of Barbra Streisand both as a singer, actress, and 1960's model of beauty would have put this kind of thinking to rest.

11. I realize being a plastic surgeon in South Florida means you have to

do something "out there" to draw customers away from the other 100,000 plastic surgeons in the region, but this is way past the boundaries of taste...
