Joan Rivers Joke

Poor Taste or Funny Joke? Should she apologize?
=============================================================================================================
Joan Rivers is refusing to apologize about controversial comments she made about Jews during a segment on her TV show "Fashion Police," insisting she uses humor to remind the public about the Holocaust.
Bing: More on Joan Rivers
The veteran funnywoman, whose parents were Russian Jewish immigrants, critiqued a dress worn by German supermodel Heidi Klum during Monday's episode of the E! series, saying, "The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens."
The remark, in reference to the Jewish prisoners of war killed by Nazis during the Holocaust, upset leaders of the anti-Defamation League, who demanded an apology from Rivers.
However, the comedienne is unrepentant about her remark. "It's a joke. This is the way I remind people about the Holocaust, I do it through humor. My husband lost his entire family in the Holocaust, so let's just start with that," she told "Showbiz Tonight." "Your generation doesn't even know what I'm talking about. By my doing a joke (it) gets them talking, thinking. Didn't bother Heidi, doesn't bother me. Why don't you worry about the anti-Semites out there (instead)?"

Would this tantamount to black people using the 'n' word?
Frankly, I laughed. Too many people are pussies and need not take themselves so seriously, especially negros and Islamists.

Agreed. Add christians, politicians and parents whose kids aren't getting to play because of the coach to the list as well.

I don't think she should apologize at all. Maybe it wasn't in the best of taste but I liked it.

I didn't laugh at the joke because it's just not that funny. Forget taste, it was a weak joke.
If I were there I'd laugh, but not because it was funny... but because the backlash and uber PC police were about to go full retard.
Can we turn this into a thread about Jewish jokes?
Okay, I'll start.
How do Jews say 'fuck you'?
They say 'trust me'.

Always a lot of fun to be had there. I've a lot of family in Michigan and Pollack jokes seem to substitute for aggie jokes up in the northern midwest.
Off topic I had a friend send me an email regarding our illustrious leader. It was a collection of British newspaper cartoons about Obama. The first one said
"Obama so loved the poor he decided to create millions more of them"
I found it quite humorous!

I agree. I think a lack of humor and the ability to laugh at ourselves is part of our problem as a nation. It seems like being offended by something has become a full time job for many.
