Poor Jesse - looks like the plan he hatched with Newman to get Kramer didn't work out like he'd hoped for.

Jassa: "I demand a boycott."

Cott: "Who you callin' boy?"

"I've encountered African-Americans who loathe Seinfeld because the cast is all supposedly Jewish"

- I'm afraid the African Americans are right and you just have to watch the credits role on any show to see for yourself. The writers, producers, directors, and all the actors were hired because they were the best Jewish people around. Other than the occasional time when the series required a black actor (ie; Kramer's lawyer) it seems to have been a condition of employment. However, Seinfeld didn't start the practice. Mel Brooks led the way with his own "affirmative action" program when it came to the movies he made many years ago.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Jesse Jackson sees a "Shakedown" in the making....

Yep, they'll get a civil judgment against Richards, then attach his royalty payments.

"No slice of the pie? You must not buy!"

..."I've encountered African-Americans who loathe Seinfeld because the cast is all supposedly Jewish"

I am the opposite... if Jews are THAT FUNNY...and I assumed some were, I like them more :)

But "No that there is anything wrong..." Who of the cast are actually Jewish?

Larry David=yes of course!

Jerry?=yes

Elaine?

Kramer?

George?=Yes?

George's parents?

Jerry's parentes?

Newman?

Those are really the main ones.

I wonder if Richards is getting a percentage of sales or his tirade was gratis?

You know what's Ironic?... This is not about racism... Robers (kramer) is a LEFTY!... like most of Hollywood... as as such, they are the "champions" of love and good relations with the entire universe... ALL WE NEED IS LOVE...LOVE....THAT IS ALL WE NEED :)

Richard got pissed because the bunch came in making noise and disrupting his show... and who knows... maybe he was on drugs? alchool? :) HEY IT'S "HOLLYWOOD."

This is about doing some "shakedown" for some "mula" yeahh..... (kidding!)

I thought it was mighty interesting that Hymietown Jackson wants people to Boycott Seinfeld DVDs.

That would also punish a bunch of people who didn't have anything to do with Richards's rant. How stupid.

[evets]

schadenfreude

[A country that believes in nothing is rushing to snap up a comedy about... NOTHING! "Seinfeld" is the apetheosis of today's liberalism to a T.]

That's what makes Seinfeld so funny - it's a bizarre social commentary on "nothingness". Seinfeld showcased the immaturity, stupidity, pettiness and narcissistic obsession with self of modern society and turned it into a hilarious hit.

BTW, it's "apotheosis", not "apetheosis".

[Polyxene]

I heard someone say that Kramer should sue the hecklers for causing him to go ballistic. Free speech runs both ways.

Let's take another "popular" show: FRIENDS. Now - although I watched some of them - IT'S GARBAGE!... unless someone can convinced me otherwise. Seinfeld on the other hand... ended up like a champion... and created a whole new "vocabulary." and although about "nothing" there was a lot under the surface.. imo

Buy hey, I am half kidding here... comedy, like everything else... is about your own taste. I can see that you either love Seinfeld or hate it.. :)

The Market Speaks.

[confuzed]

Just this morning I heard the REV-E-R-E-N-D Jesse (hymie-town) Jackson was calling for a boycott of this DVD. I immediately decided to go to Costco to buy it. Tee-hee, I guess I'n not alone.

[wtc911]

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes....iow, all.

"I heard someone say that Kramer should sue the hecklers for causing him to go ballistic. Free speech runs both ways."

Richards was not heckled. A large group walked in late and as they took their seats, Richards started calling them mexicans and n-word. One of the men told Richards 'that's not funny' and off Richards went into his tirade. What you saw on tape was not all that Richards said. He went on and on and on. Richards' rant was unprovoked and dispicable.

[katieanna]

Let me just add that if anybody could have 'caused him to go ballistic', then Richards has no business on a public stage. Are you saying he can take people's money then insult them? I say not.

Season 7, the ones on sale now, has my all-time favorite episode, "The Marine Biologist." What a hoot that was.
