Adam Sandler original Chanukah (Hanukkah) Song



I wanted to add my opinion about the media making fun of different ethnicities. We talked about Family Guy and the Simpsons all making fun of everyone and that it should be okay for everyone to laugh at everyone else. However, recently, in my experiences I have heard more and more Jewish jokes and references and I don't think they are very funny. I am glad that many Jewish Americans can laugh it off. But I don't like that people these days insult people by calling them a "Jew"- as if that is a bad thing. Like Kim stated in class, some jokes will always be too soon. Just like 9/11. I think any jokes about Jewish individuals is just being insensitive. So that is why I posted this video of Adam Sandler. Is Adam Sandler just another Margret Cho? Is it okay for him to make fun of Jewish people because he is Jewish? Some of my friends believe this song is educational because it informs the listeners of who is Jewish in our society. But, does that really matter? I do know one thing, it is a great song. I love the melody and it is really catchy.
