Looks like the producers of The Onion have been on a "sense of humour" training course at Hamas-TV.
Apparently, you can "Overcome Stress by Burning Greedy Hook-Nosed Race Of Creatures".

That's amazing. I suppose they mean it to be ironic. It is, but not in the way they think.
<span>Would I suggest that you read a extract of that of Lord byron. I do believe you have so much in common! </span>
<span>If it is that you do decide to gaze upon those deformed feet of yours, do not lose heart my dear. </span>
<span>For the ghost from your late fathers grave, will shine down on you, and bring Your depths of despair to the surface.
Good day my fine Sir!</span>
<p><span>I’ll have to disagree, to me it seems they are ridiculing anti-Semitism. </span></p>
They meant to, but i somehow got out of hand.
"<span>bring Your depths of despair to the surface"</span>
Hmm... sounds like a recipe for a good barf. But thanks anyway.
There is no argument about that, I believe, DD, it is just that the joke was a bit over the top.
Given the nauture of the beast it was meant to be a satire of crap self help books but just didn't work in the execution.. mark it as a candidate for "When Satire goes wrong" methinks
Right. I assume they are trying to make fun of morning TV programmes and dumb cheerful presenters who have no clue what their guests are talking about.
It's just that humour is all about timing and taste and these guys... They have no clue but I am sure their pathetic attempt at satire will be appreciated by Stormfront and Hezbollah.
I thought this was a hilarious satire of anti-semitism.
It was definitely intended that way, but again - it went over the top, becoming something else. Matter of taste, I guess.
I thought it was sick.
Well, let's not go overboard with that. Again, I guess the intentions were good, but you know, the road to hell and all that...
