I don't see the [[anti-semitism]] of this. If it *is* there, it's drowned out by the anti-smut message. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 13:51, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

*As it happens, I do see [[anti-semitism]] in it. is in the physical caricature, not the words. Actually the target seems to me to be bathroom humor, not smut per se... but in any case there is to my mind a clear suggestion that "Jews are promoting vulgarity." But with regard to inclusion in the article, the question is whether this cartoon indeed "created a controversy" and, if so, whether it was an important controversy.

I'm softening this to "stereotype," because the word "Hollywood" is frequently associated with the heyday of the "studio system," roughly 1920 through 1950, a period during which I think it is literally true that the studio heads (the "moguls") ''were'' predominantly Jewish, mostly Jewish immigrants. Certainly Goldwyn, the Warner brothers, Mayer, Zukor, and Columbia's Harry Cohn were. About the only obvious exceptions I can think of were Walt Disney and Twentieth-Century Fox's Darryl F. Zanuck.
