Comics Take Sides in Rift Over Anne Frank Jokes

By DAVID FINNIGAN FORWARD CORRESPONDENT LOS ANGELES — For the past two years, the Comedy Central-sponsored "Sit 'n' Spin" nights have provided a supportive setting for local comedy writers to try out new material on an audience of their peers. The humor is usually profane and often sexually explicit, and the writers who gather twice a month at Hollywood's Hudson Guild Theatre are like family.

Or at least they were, until one brought up Anne Frank. Now some in the once tight-knit circle of comedy writers are no longer on speaking terms.

The friendly atmosphere was shattered September 29 when Jon Hayman, a Jewish former "Seinfeld" writer, did a routine in which he pretended to be Anne Frank reading a typical teenage girl's summer camp diary entries — only the camp in this instance was Auschwitz. Hayman's routine had Frank — who actually died in Bergen Belsen — innocently wondering .......

Forget all that - [I]there's a "Finnigan" on staff at the FORWARD? [/I] God help us all....no name is safe!

Batty's right, there have got to be 30-40 million of these people around - 14 million stuck with "Goldstein" and "Mandelbaum" when the searchlights hit 'em, and twice that many hiding behind their shadows disguised as "Finnigan", "Crosby", "Maggio", "Girardot", "Melendez" and "Nikolayev". Heck, I was in the third grade with a Jew named "Smith" - I shoulda been doing the math all along.

Who'll give me odds that there's an "Avi Hitler" out there somewhere as well?

Thanks IR. All one has to do is look at the number of 'open jews' in certain cities, occupations, schools, countries, etc., and you see that they are pushing false info on their population numbers. Just like they did in the early part of the twentieth century when the tribal leaders told the rest of the chosenites to hide their ethnicity from census takers, so as not to let the country know how many jews were moving in. One has to remember that the famous "6 million" figure comes from their own books, as do the population numbers they furnish. Take a drive through West Los Angeles, Hancock Park, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Encino, Shalom ... er, Sherman Oaks, etc., then look at the population numbers claimed for the tribe in S. CA alone. You are also on the money with the cracks about the names used by the tribe. It is in their best interests to always downplay their numbers.

I have gone to school and worked with jews named "Williams", "Stanton", "Muriano", "Tellez", and unbelievably "Rourke" among other eyebrow raising last names. If you had seen this "Rourke", you would have been scratching your head, thinking the name about as believeable as the "Mr. Rourke" on the old Fantasy Island TV show, who should have been named "Rourke-driguez".

The bulk of the tribe's nation is scattered around the world, it isn't in Israel. Most of the tribe is of course, settled in the US and Europe, for now.

Same shape-shifting was popular among the Jews in the Soviet Union. Of course, the official explanation is that they were "poisecuted".

Most Hitlers changed there family names after WWII because of abuse.

I've never met anyone named Hitler. However, Circleville, Ohio has Hitler Road, Martha Hitler Rd, Huber Hitler Road, and Martha Hitler Park. A friend of mine used to live on Hitler Road and no one would believe him, but I saw the street signs myself.

I know a guy who had a gardner named Adolf Hitler. This is no fooling, too.

His name was Adolf Hitler Ramirez, and he was from some Hispanic country.

Get this: he was BLACK. Black as soot. Purest Ghanian ancestry.

He was born in the early 1930's to a poor family who heard on the radio about this great leader named Adolf Hitler, so they named their dear little dusky baby Adolf. Adolf Hitler Ramirez.

The poor guy. I guess he caught a lot of shite for it, too.

That's on par with an Irish Catholic I knew named Oliver Cromwell.

Oliver Plunkette Cromwell. Oliver Plunkett was a great Irish patriot and his parents (who apparently skipped that day of history class) named their Papist son Oliver Plunkett in his honor despite the fact that they were already saddled with the name "Cromwell."

He told me that he was razzed unmercifully about it in his Catholic grammar school in County Wicklow.

The poor bastard!
