Anyone else watching John Safran's Race relations?

The last few episodes have focused on how Jewish family and friends expect John to marry a Jewish girl and some friends have even said they wont attend his wedding if he doesn't marry a Jewish girl.:eek:

Anyone else find this to be a bit far out.

Funny as **** that he married a relative of Osama:D
 
John Saffran is the most entertaining thing in media. Love the guy.

This last series was either side splitting funny, with the odd miss.

But he needs to see a psychotherapist, guy is seriously unhinged, I was worried/am worried for him. Only criticism is the moral equivalence when he goes to Israel/Palestine. Better than Sacha Baron Cohen tho.

Missed last nights epi, will see it online today.

Re: the tribalism. I think that is pretty natural from sects who have religion as their existential centre. As I don't practise any religion, the first response is to be a little affronted, but rational thought consider it normal, and not offensive.

Did he get "married" or was it a stunt for his show. The potential partner was not part of the series up til then, so assume it was a mere stunt.

Lots of genius in this series, the cemetary dig one of those, but I assumed they got permission and a digger, so it was not guerrilla, the walls of the dig were squared off. And his mates were still clean. I like the 100% genuine stunts myself, but that is acceptable.

For an average looking guy, Safran knows how to attract women, very attractive ones, and some normal women, but he quite successful, unless all these "girlfriends" were from casting agents.

Yeah, it was a stunt. Thats why he found a distant relative of Osama to add to the impact of having his Jewish friends attend his wedding to a non Jew.

I didn't find the tribalism thing offensive until I saw it in action, then i found it pretty confronting. His friends were more than willing to not attend his wedding if he fell in love with a non Jew. And they seemed like sensible intelligent everyday people, until they had that conversation. Seemed too close to outright racism. I don't know really, maybe because it is something new to me. Seemed quite repulsive. I have intermarried couples and gay couples in my family so this was quite different to my way of thinking/ accepting differences.
 
He's probably the only person out there in the mainstream media that is pushing the boundaries.

We need more of him.:thumbsu:

In one of his previous series he mentioned Jeremy Weinstein's dad who said something like he wouldn't invite John to the Friday night dinner anymore if he was dating a non-Jew. He also said by marrying a non-Jew he is completing Hitler's work for him.

I found it pretty disgusting how his best friend wouldn't go the wedding, he came across as a real w***er and now lots of people have seen it :thumbsu:
 
In Juddaism, the woman a man procreates with has to be a Jew in order to the kids to also be Jew. That's why John's friend is so adamant that his male friend wed a Jew girl.

I don't find him all that clever or funny and often he gives me the shits, but I agree completely. He provokes something from me all the time and he's just about the only one who does.

As I understand it, the concept of Jewry follows the female bloodline.

Being the only crazy guy in the room has to be a little confusing. If we had more they'd all be better. Having a group who swap ideas would have to increase the overall quality.

probably you do not understand it as a concept, there indeed a tenet with the religion that only recognises the maternal lineage but it is a strict interpretation for orthodox movements. *without official Dare say any reform temple in Brooklyn will have a myriad of jews who have gentile maternal lineage, not undergone official sanctioned conversion.
 
two of Saffran's "flames" just happened to turn up on some C9 program the other night as I channel flicked.

Katherine Hicks, the woman who made out with JS in the attic of Anne Frank's. And I think the woman purportedly, who was the subject of a legal writ on Race Around the World where JS put a voodoo spell on her on some Pacific island country.

Enter conspiracy: some of these ex-luvs were from central casting, and not genuine flames, or "met at St Kilda FF after party and got her number".

I appreciate much of the program was re-enactments with jobbing actors/actresses. It was just a little coincidental. And those guys from Chaser do set-up their "stunts" which are not. Good for those nuts, it is not implausible JS was not entirely genuine.

I've kind of suspected the same, although that English bloke who runs ATP and his girlfriend are the real deal, so who knows.
