I love the site IsraellyCool. Usually I find it informative, witty, and full of fodder for future posts. The site even boasts their own podcast, which I have yet to listen to but still. Just the idea that the site administrator is that invested into bringing the world a daily dose of Jewbrew thru audio makes me glow a bit.
For instance, their newsbit today on Tel Aviv's VeeCee initiative in which cardboard prostitutes are being put up to drive down inflated rents. Pure genius. The kind of cultural wtf-edness that really turns me on, as Vincent from Season 2 of "Project Runway" would say.
On the contrary, however, Israellycool's latest daily feature, Bet You Didn't Know They Were Jewish, just blows. They give you two clues as to alleged Jew's identity and then you click the link and it tells you the person. Yesterday's jew-in-disguise was Elvis. And when I dug deeper, I found that Elvis' great something-or-other was Jewish. Does this make him Jewish enough to be considered Jewish? Today's pick is Yaphet Kotto who is 100% Jewish, as his parents were both African Jews.
It's a cool idea, the feature. It just feels a bit like that new game show "Identity" where contestants guess a person's profession based on what they look like. After watching the first episode and having the guy correctly attribute the hasidic looking dude with a beard and suit with the "rabbi," I decided I was off the show. And I suspect I'm almost there with this feature.
I'll stick with the cardboard tits.
When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new surveys are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I get four emails sticking with the same comment. Possibly there is by any means you are able to get rid of me from that service? Thanks!
