It’s Official: Jew Puns no Longer Funny

There are thousands of stories about the Satmar community in Williamsburg — some incredibly interesting, and others just act as filler:

"The City Council approved a controversial Williamsburg development project in a landslide on Wednesday – refusing to be pressured by a hostile, behind-the-scenes campaign by a powerful Hasidic rabbi who is a political patron of the neighborhood’s rookie councilman."

The above line is taken from a story in today’s edition of The Brooklyn Paper and belongs in the latter category; the only difference between this and any other article used on a slow news day is that it incorporates a bad pun for the title: "Jew got mail! Prominent rabbi sent slimy e-mail to undermine rival." I know this is asking a lot, but can we please try and find some more original material than just pointing out the creepy side of a bunch of religious dudes?  We get it: sometimes people who overemphasize their religious observance are just big fat hypocrites.
