Trailer for Making Trouble

"Making Trouble, the new documentary about legendary funny Jewish women who broke barriers and shook the social order to make us laugh, had its world premiere at the 2007 SILVERDOCS/AFI Discovery Channel Documentary Festival.

Molly Picon, Fanny Brice, Sophie Tucker, Joan Rivers, Gilda Radner, and Wendy Wasserstein proved that comedy is easy, being a Jewish woman in comedy is hard.

Israeli MXC

For my American audience, you might be familiar with MXC, a Japanese show that is dubbed and shown on Spike TV. It involved silly physical students intended to mildly injure and humiliate the participants. Here is the homegrown Israeli version.

[I realize this is in Hebrew, but you don't have to understand what they are saying to watch people get hit in the face and knocked into a pool. I only speak a little Hebrew (Ani madeber katsat ivrit) and I still thought it was hilarious.)

Colbert Report: New Israeli National Bird and Kosher Giraffes

Driving in Israel

I don't have a car, but this sort of thing doesn't surprise me (both the problem and the solutions).



[I meant to put this up yesterday but I accidentally posted it to the wrong blog. I guess that's what having two blogs that begin with "Jewish" can cause...]
