B-Man Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The New Yorker Stoops by Jonah Goldberg I’m a fan of The New Yorker, often despite its politics and its haughtiness (often hard to separate), because it values great writing. And I understand that the magazine business is rough these days and celebrity bylines goose both clicks and newsstand sales. But I find it inconceivable that The New Yorker would have run this piece if it didn’t have Lena Dunham or some other bold-face-name in the byline. Titled, “Dog or Jewish Boyfriend?” it’s a pop-quiz for the reader to guess whether she’s talking about her dog or, that’s right, her Jewish boyfriend. {snip} Still, I don’t think she was going for anti-Semitism, though she’ll happily pocket the edginess that accusation brings. Rather, like so much of what Dunham does, it reeks of self-indulgence. She clearly think it’s very clever. But as a piece of writing it’s remarkably un-clever. It’s not terrible. It’s more like a solid B in a college-writing seminar. And, I suppose it is a sharp way for her to do what she loves: over-share the various details of her life, most of which, like this piece, are incredibly boring if ascribed to a person you’re not fascinated by. But that’s just it. For some unfathomable reason, there are people who find Dunham fascinating. She clearly has a gift for convincing late-middle-aged white urban liberals that she’s on to something big and important. I’m just amazed she’s pulled off the con for this long. And I’m disappointed that even The New Yorker fell for it. Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner Lena Dunham has a Jewish mother and has described herself as a “Jewish woman.” I am not entirely comfortable describing a Jew as an anti-Semite. But I assume we all can agree that she’s a vulgar dope. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Replace "Jewish" with "Black" or "Hispanic" in that article, and the title alone becomes highly offensive. That right there is as clear an indicator as any that the article's in poor taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Wow. Just wow. Wonder what her Jewish boyfriend will think when he sees that. If he stay's he's one of the following: 1) On Meth 2) A neckbeard that can't get any. 3) Retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Well come on now, let's be a little more understanding. The enlightened crowd only has a few sources left for humor: Fox News, white men who earn too much money, Christians, heterosexuals (who all secretly want to be gay), and -- within the confines of New York City -- Jews.

She's trash. My parents were hippies and rich. Look at me! Give me the broad city girls over Dunham all day. They are actually funny. Thought she was dating the guy from the band FUN, guess they had a hit or two and he left her sorry butt.

I know you'll never bring me flowers Flowers they will only die And though you'll never take a shower together I know you'll never make me cry You never argue, you don't even talk And I like the way you let me lead you When we go outside and walk Will you really be my only man of the hour? My only man of the hour My only man of the hour which is much less inflammatory but perhaps not as funny. oh and btw, comedians have been doing inflammatory stuff forever. the trick is not crossing the line into what the paying audience sees as bad taste. in dun ham's case it really doesn't matter.
