No comments about him calling himself a "frugal jew"? Well , when he calls HIMSELF something, that others use as slurs, what should we as fans feel? A couple of years ago, Adam said that using words, others use as evil words, in a nice form of endearment would take the bite out of it. I think he used "faggot" as example. It was the Concert were he showed the black/yellow stripped undies. Is "frugal Jew" still used as a slur word in USA? No, not sure that exact phrase was every a slur in the US, but, the idea of Jews being cheap is used as a slur and is part of a very negative stereotype -- "Shylock"* for example is used as a slur -- and it's embedded in anti-Semantic nonsense which unfortunately is alive and well in the US -- although not widespread like it was in the past and mostly hiding under rocks and online. I think Adam was trying to be funny -- and really was not thinking about it when he said it. Sounded a bit like a "girlfriend" comment. I'm Jewish and I was not offended by it for what that's worth. That said, John Stewart (and other Jewish comedians) has done some very funny bits about being a "cheap Jew" and no one seemed to bothered by it. I think that it fits into the category of things a "group member" can make jokes about but other people should just leave unsaid. Adam is Jewish and he is "sort of" frugal. Thankfully, it has literally been decades since I have been directly confronted by anything truly hateful. But.... 11.17.16 During this past year, anti-Semitic imagery proliferated on social media, Jewish journalists were targeted and longstanding anti-Jewish conspiracy theories got a fresh airing. Much of the bias originated with the alt-right, or alternative right, a loose group espousing a provocative and reactionary strain of conservatism. It's often associated with far right efforts to preserve "white identity," oppose multiculturalism and defend "Western values."
In addition to the online intimidation, reports of anti-Semitic vandalism and other attacks have risen.

For the life of me, I do not understand why that song was not the big single push from that album. That opening alone is a hit worthy beast. IMO, if that song was created under WBR, they probably would release it as a single.

Have to admit, it sounded funny/odd to me when he said it -- I think a bit of Andy's Gay Jewish snark rubbed off on him. It is one of those thing that I guess is "OK" to say about yourself, but only about yourself. But, yeah, odd thing to say. *** I thought it was a fun show, Adam looked great -- and young. But Adam seemed relatively calm compared to everyone else on the show. We did get some different than normal questions, although not much/any new info. *** My favorite line, "It's not a jacket..." I always thought that jews and jewish heritage was not that surrounded by antisemitism as in Europe still. Here in Germany , no person of Jewish belief, would make snarky self ironic jewish comments. The pain of history is still to much for snark to be used in non jewish public. Sadly.... but no not today....about politics..... TODAY is about how funny Adam was, and HOW GORGEOUS He was gorgeous. In the US, Jewish comedy is a very important part of our culture -- very different than in Europe in my experience. And American Jewish comedians have been making fun of their Jewishness since at least the mid-ninetieth century. And some of what has been done here really pushed boundaries. For example, Mel Brooks did the Producers in 1968. It is hard to imagine an America without the Three Stooges, Marx Brothers, John Stewart, Larry David, Carl Reiner, Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, John Rivers, Jerry Lewis, Don Rickles, George Burns, Sid Caesar, Billy Crystal, Adam Sandler, Gene Wilder, Louis Black, Peter Sellers, etc. etc. etc. [I am sure that someone has put together a Wiki of Jewish comedians but that is off the top of my head. Sorry for any misspellings.) We even have a Jewish comic in the US Senate - Al Franken. Oh, and Gilda Radner!!

Also, wrinkle reduction - which he has done regularly. (Botox) And maybe a few other little things. *** I think we pretty much analyzed this yesterday.
