It’s your blog and excuse me for asking but who cares?
Beg your pardon?
I forgive you.
Read the article. His personal life is drek. Check IMDB. He was married by some minister to his non-Jewish girlfriend.
Other than trivial trivia and embarrassing moments in Jewish Hollywood history, what are you trying to promote?
i suppose mr. shy guy would like us all to believe that the jews are only the perfect ones, studying hard and working hard, paying off their student loans and marrying the rabbis daughter.
well, i have a surprise for you – we’re as diverse as anyone else. does “achavat israel” mean anything to you, at all? it’s not a selective thing, you know.
Shy Guy,
You are a regular so I’ll be polite, just as I was last time you made a similar comment after I posted a video of my son.
This blog does not pander to anyone else’s agenda. I blog what I want to blog about, and anyone is free to visit or not visit.
I personally like posting about pop culture and Jews in entertainment. It interests me, and the Bet You Didn’t Know They Were Jewish series also shows people that Jews do not fit the caricature image of the Jew. If you want to be judgmental about Mr Black’s lifestyle, feel free. Just don’t criticize me for blogging about the things I blog about.
Never ever did I use a tone of “who cares” about your son’s video.
I was seriously asking why you’re blogging about Black. That was a question. Not a command to stop doing what you want. Asked and answered.
Please consider my initial comment the equivalent of a zero rating on DIGG, which I am not registered to.
Abunafha, you suppose incorrectly.
Jack Black’s now-wife is actually Jewish. Her mother was Jewish, father not.
Thanks for the gallbladder information.
