"CNETatCES: The 404 256: Where we celebrate good jew jew bad jew jew http://tinyurl.com/7b3ole"
that's just plain wrong. you say you "fixed" it over an hour ago, but it is still posted like that.
just despicable.
This ain't gawker, where some "too cool" editor can make a self-conscious anti-Semitic joke to shock the goyim.
1. you don't have to be jewish to be offended, but good for you; 2. if CNET is claiming it was in fact a mistake, then they are really admitting that it should NOT have been posted as it were and that it is tasteless; if they hadn't called it a "mistake" then there was no need to apologize or call attention to it if it was indeed the "humorous/witty" headline they were going for; 3. its great that women read tech blogs...but how is that relevant here - oh wait, its not; and 4. 404 fan or not, jewish writer or not, it seems pretty weak for a major online publication to use someone's religious/race/sex (jokingly) to pull hits, esp when it has nothing to do with the story...
cheers!
Loved the story about the BMW jacking.. and uh.. when can we expect to enter the contest for the AMD giveaway? LOL
we asked the live audience for suggestions on what to name the show; we explained the title format "this is the show where _____," but the audience had no clue what to say until all of a sudden a woman yelled out "Good juju bad juju!" none of us had ANY IDEA what that meant. maybe a reference to "sit bubu sit, good dog?" Or maybe jujubees? seriously, none of us knew but we used it anyway and we always write it in our Google Doc spreadsheet, so I just sounded out the onomatopoeia and wrote it in as "good jewjew, bad jewjew." obviously, as stated before, we never thought it was genuinely a religious slur. even now, we still don't know what it means. i suppose i could've written joojoo, or juju, or ghooghoo, or jhujhu, but we were in a rush to start and i just wrote that in. if you listen to the show, you'll hear our confusion in the beginning about the show title. anyway, i can only speak for myself (and not cbs, wilson, or jeff), but i'm sorry people got the wrong idea or were offended by the title. yes, this show is pretty vulgar, but we'd never EVER intentionally hurt people's feelings.
hopefully we can all move on and continue laughing? cool!
love,
justin
Absolutely nothing offensive about that. Nuff said.

(18 Comments)if this is the first offensive jew-related thing you've seen, you've sure as hell not been on the internet for very long.
isn't jeff jewish and talks about it on the air? maybe if you guys actually have watched the show before this wouldn't have been such a big issue AND it wasn't intentional.
stop actively looking to be offended. in fact, this show could use less viewers like you.
