Whoever owns the rights to the Brooklyn Dodgers script/logo should sue them.

Dave,

I think that kind of parody is considered to be fair use; no copyright violation.

Posted by: Bob Marvin at November 16, 2009 8:42 AM

I'm going to produce and sell T-shirts in Colorado that have "Mountain Jew" written across the front in the same script and colours as the Mountain Dew logo.

How about "Brooklyn Asshat?"

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at November 16, 2009 9:20 AM

maybe your business plans would do better in catskills, woodstock, ny, etc, Biff.

Posted by: Petebklyn at November 16, 2009 9:28 AM

Pete, are there still Jews in the Catskills?

Posted by: Biff Champion at November 16, 2009 9:30 AM

Biff--does the pope shit in the woods? there are parts of the Catskills teeming with Hasids.

Posted by: wasder at November 16, 2009 9:35 AM

hotels may be gone but lots of weekender homes.

"Biff--does the pope shit in the woods?"
Not in the woods around the Catskills. Apparently that area is full of Jews!

Posted by: Biff Champion at November 16, 2009 9:42 AM

I don't think there are any jewish comedians there any more, however.

Can we swap CB2 for developer's-rubberstamp-CB1?

Posted by: dittoburg at November 16, 2009 9:42 AM

Ditto, wherever there are Jews, there are Jewish comedians!

Posted by: Biff Champion at November 16, 2009 9:46 AM

are there any famous Hasid comics? They seem a bit serious.

"are there any famous Hasid comics? They seem a bit serious."

Not sure - but I assume you've all heard of the Hadidic superhero - "The Hebrew Hammer" ???

DH, I've not previously heard of that film.
Is there an uncut version?

Posted by: dittoburg at November 16, 2009 10:10 AM

LOL, ditto.

Posted by: daveinbedstuy at November 16, 2009 10:18 AM

hahaha i lurve circumcision jokes!!

Posted by: dirty_hipster at November 16, 2009 10:20 AM

The Hebrew Hammer is sharp. His humour cuts like a knife.

Posted by: Biff Champion at November 16, 2009 10:23 AM

Hebrew Hammer is hilarious. Anyone up for some Manischewitz shots?

"Hasidic Rapper - Matisyahu"

He's a reggae artist - not rapper!!

Posted by: dirty_hipster at November 16, 2009 11:43 AM

"He's a reggae artist - not rapper!!"

I can't make out the words of either genre. So it's the same to me :-)

"I can't make out the words of either genre. So it's the same to me :-)"

Hahah - fair enough!!!!

;)

Well I guess I'll have to retire that stereotype then.

Posted by: dittoburg at November 16, 2009 1:16 PM

Yes, Virginia, there ARE Hasidic comedians. My great-grandfather was one but that was a long-long-long time ago!

I think the Berkshires get my vote. I have to say that I found the Mountain Dew reference distasteful but very funny despite myself! I'm sure that T-shirt will show up at "The Flea" soon now that you've let it loose.

Posted by: BrooklynGreene at November 16, 2009 3:27 PM

If the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn, maybe I would support a lawsuit.
