Talk:Mallard Fillmore

The comic has created several controversies, one of which involved showing a clearly anti-semitic caricature of a stereotypical Jew. It was a reference to the stereotype that Hollywood is run by Jews. [1]

We resolve to relive all our childhoods

With programs that we think are cool

With scripts that abound

With stuff once only found

On the bathroom walls in middle school

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

the myth that Hollywood is run by Jews

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.
