Rabbi Yells "Cut!" Over Porn Flick

ASSRAELISThe producer of an all-Israeli porn flick is under attack from rabbis who say his use of a food-certification symbol ain't kosher.

Yesterday, Tight Fit Productions of Van Nuys, Calif., the purveyors of "Assraelis," which was shot entirely in Israel with all-local talent, and in Hebrew (with, uh, English subtitles), received a cease-and-desist order letter from a lawyer representing Rabbi Yehuda Rosenbaum of KOF-K Kosher Certification, a New Jersey company that puts its stamp of approval on Kosher goods. Tight Fit's DVD-cover claim of Israeli authenticity is accompanied by a Hebrew letter normally reserved for rabbi-ordained meats, grains, and other foodstuffs.

KOF-K's lawyer says that Tight Fit is using the symbol "illegally" in violation of State and Federal Law, and plans to sue "if the situation is not rectified as quickly as possible." Oren Cohen, the owner of Tight Fit, finds the action "funny," but will modify the cover art before the film's release next week -- to satisfy what he calls the "very nice" rabbis.

No word from Cohen, who himself does not observe the Kashrut, on whether, despite their Kosher claims, meat and milk products were mixed during the making of "Assraelis."

61. BUT THE REAL QUESTION IS

HOW DID THE RABBI KNOW HIS SYMBOL WAS ON A PORN FLICK?

DID HE WATCH SAID PRON FLICK? DOES SAID RABBI LIKE PORN?

62. #54 you UNGRATEFUL cur, these "good christians" are the only country that actually has your back. You are a good example of why christians feel the way they do about Jews. As far as i am concerned , you are no better than your muslim neighbor. Jew boy!

63. If the Jews are the smartest race, why was it so easy for the Nazi's to round um up and cook um like a frozen pizza? The smart ones got out of there and came over here. These are the same p***ies who didn't fight against Hitler but rather left the poor Jews to die. Now that they have infected this country like the plague, we need to export all of them to fight for Israel. But, these pantie wastes won't go because they are cowards. If the US wasn't protecting Israel, it would fold like a cheap suit. Example, did you ever hear of a Jewish suicide bomber? No. COWARDS & HIPOCRITES they are. Let us never forget, why the Jew has been hated throughout history and always will! They are the same as rats, roaches, and termites. A pestilence that will not be tolerated and needs to be exterminated!!!

64. #40, Oh gee. How did I know someone would try to bring up Muslims? Okay, we get it, you're ignorant and don't know Muslims except for the ones who call themselves ones and bomb things. Great.
You're just happy to have a reason to be a biggot now, aren't you? Scumbag.
#34 - Um, "The Bell Curve" is highly suspect in its scientific validity. And, no Asians ended up head of the class. But, I don't stereotype races. Obviously you do.

65. To the poster named Ericâ%u201A¦. I am an American Jew and VERY proud to be an American. I agree that our country is one of Israelâ%u201A%u201Es only true friends and that the conservative Christian is often one of the loudest supporters.

However, YOU are the p***y, hiding behind your computer, talking crap where no one can see you. You are now talking to one American Jew that NEVER backs down when they hear people like you talking sh*t. Be glad your arenâ%u201A%u201Et in my face. Be even more glad that you havenâ%u201A%u201Et met an Israeli Jew. They are some of the toughest people on the planet.

Now you ask why I donâ%u201A%u201Et go over to Israel. First, I have a family here that needs me. Second, the Israeli army is more than capable of taking on ALL of itâ%u201A%u201Es neighbors. Unfortunately, it is not that simple as to just bomb them all. Did you see what happened with Hezbollah, hiding behind civilians? Israel could have decimated Lebanon, should they wanted to.

You also ask why we donâ%u201A%u201Et see Jewish suicide bombers. First, we arenâ%u201A%u201Et that stupid. Second, we donâ%u201A%u201Et target civilians (unlike our enemies). Third, our religion doesnâ%u201A%u201Et reward us for killing ourselves.

I also want to point out that if an Islamic militia ever formed in this country and began a warâ%u201A¦ I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO TAKE UP ARMS AND DEFEND AMERICA.

Let me guessâ%u201A¦ you work in a warehouse? Maybe 7-11? You probably make about $12 per hour. EVERY person I have ever met in my 35 years who talks sh*t about Jews is either A) poor, B) uneducated, C) white trash, or D) Muslim. Now, granted I have met some nice and intelligent Muslims along the way. Anyway, I must leave this site now so I can go off to my nice job where I make more money than you probably ever will. Iâ%u201A%u201Ell drive there in my new car, after leaving my beautiful family and home. Yes, being a Jew is good. To all my Christian brothers that have supported the Jews and our plight in this worldâ%u201A¦ thank you.

66. It's probablty a great film. Jewish men are incredible lovers. However it should carry a NOT kosher symbol.

67. To, A Jew who is better off than you. Thank you by making point. Money is more important than anything else to you. You have one thing in common with the Muslims. They think they'll get virgins when they die and you think you won't die or take your money with you when you die. You actually believe you are the chosen people as well. One word, for you and the Muslims, DELUSIONAL.

68. 51. JESUS WAS JEWISH, YOU RACIST PIGS, SO ALL YOU HATERS ARE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL!

& the jews killed him, hmmmmm

69. God exists only in the minds of men. Man created God because of the fear of his inevitable death. Religion has killed more people in its name than all other wars combined. People just cannot except that when they die its over. We and all living things are matter and that cannot be destroyed only transformed. If the people of this world would except this fact, our time here, while short, would be much more pleasant. If I'm wrong, may God strike me dead! I'll get back to you after I've had lunch if I'm not dead.

70. Hello again, Eric. No, I don't care about money more than anything else. My family is the most important thing to me. I could probably even make twice what I am making now if I was to forsake my family and travel all the time. But instead I choose not to. Family is too important.

My reaction was simply to hit you and the other Jew bashers where it obviously hurts - your wallet. Again, you haven’t provided a specific reason why you hate Jews other than possibly that we tend to make good money. I don’t wish poverty on people, except my enemies.

And btw, I know plenty of Christians who call Jews the “chosen people.” I prefer to just think of myself as a hard working American Jew. A person who is tired of people flinging crap at me because they are jealous. You want a better life for yourself too? Well, welcome to the land of opportunity. If not for yourself, do it for your kids.

71. Friends kept telling me I should read TMZ because it's "hilarious." So I've been reading, and I don't find this site hilarious. I find it mean-spirited, angry, and filled with spite and downright hate. TMZ makes the National Enquirer rather boring by comparison, and well, I guess that's part of their M.O.

I don't have a problem with porn--adult films are a bigger part of the entertainment industry than most will admit and we need to develop an open and healthy relationship with our sexuality. What I do have a problem with is TMZ using a quirk about a film to inflame the kind of religious/racial hatred that comes through in these comments.

For those spouting anti-Semitism: check your ignorance at the door and learn to live in peace with others. Your comments only perpetuate negative stereotypes about you.

For those who identify as Jews and lord it over the goyim: check you arrogance at the door and learn some humility and gratitude for the good fortune in your lives. Your comments only perpetuate negative stereotypes about you.

And I'm damn sick and tired of those who automatically think that poor=racist. I've lived all over the USA, have been on every level of the socioeconomic scale and learned this: for every gun-toting "redneck" sitting in his front yard, there are dozens, if not hundreds, more well-off/educated people who hide their prejudice and hatred behind fixed teeth, designer clothes, and closed doors. Don't be fooled by appearances.

Free your mind--and your ass will follow.

72. ANTHONY: THANKS FOR THE CORRECTION. YOU'RE RIGHT. I DON'T HATE GENTILES TONY. THAT WOULD TAKE UP TOO MUCH OF TIME AND ENERGY. I LEAVE THE HATE TO THEM. I HAVE NO REASON TO HATE THEM. THEY'VE NEVER BOTHERED ME. NOT EVEN THE MORONS ON THIS WEB SITE. I'M CLOSE TO BEING 40 YEARS OLD AND I'VE LEARNED THAT HATE SHOWS IGNORANCE. MY POSTINGS ARE JUST FOR ENTERTAINMENT. MY ENTERTAINMENT MOSTLY. I WAS HAVING SOME GOOD LAUGHS LAST NIGHT.

NASTY MOIL: IT'S BRIS. ANOTHER IGNORANT IMBECILE

KIRBY: TAKE A HISTORY CLASS. THE U.S. TURN THE SHIPS AWAY THAT WERE CARRYING JEWISH REFUGEES. THE U.S. DIDN'T HAVE OUR BACK AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR. FEELING GUILTY AFTER LIBERATING THE DEATH CAMPS IS THE REASON WHY THE U.S. HAS A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE. GOOD CHRISTIANS??? YOU MEAN LIKE KEN LAY???
ALSO, I'M NOT A BOY KIRBY BUT IF I WAS, "JEW BOY" WOULD BE A COMPLIMENT NOT A CUT DOWN.

eric: dude...it's 10:30 am on your posting. shouldn't you be at work? oh, maybe you are one of those welfare riders. or maybe you are supposed to be working for your Jewish boss but instead of being productive in your job, you are wasting company money by posting hate mail. frozen pizzas? i like that. in fact, when i visited Dachau, the ovens looked just like pizza ovens. i sure hope you don't believe in G-d (purposely misspelled for reasons that your ignorance wouldn't understand) because you are going to burn in Dante's Inferno. Again, you probably wouldn't know what Dante's Inferno is either. don't worry buddy, if hell exists, you are going there to be cooked like a frozen pizza. now get back to your $5.15 minimum wage job.

73. To the poster called "Get it over it." You bring up some interesting points. Thanks for attempting to inject some rationalism on this irrational board.

But I wasn't implying that just because you are poor, you are a racist. I am simply saying that in my 35 years, all of the people that I have experienced FIRSTHAND making such comments about Jews, fall in those categories I mentioned. And I too have lived in several metro areas and hung with people of ALL socioeconomic backgrounds.

Perhaps those that are well off hide it better. Or perhaps their biases aren’t so deep and hate filled as you would like to believe. You said that “for every gun-toting redneck sitting in his front yard, there are dozens, if not hundreds, more well-off/educated people” who hide their racism. Am I misunderstanding you? I would have no problem arguing against that statement. First, I would like to know what you consider “well/off and educated”? Sure, there are some out there, but to say that for every redneck there are dozens or hundreds of “well-off educated” people that are just as bad, is just plain funny. There is a difference between someone saying “all Jews and blacks should die” and someone saying “I don’t want my kid listening to rap music or walking through that part of that city.”

If you are still reading this, please explain. I want to have a friendly debate, so please don’t be offended by my tone.

74. no eric...i'm not at work today because today is Shabbat. nor will i be working tomorrow. and i will take the Sunday off as well since most businesses in this country are closed. seriously eric, you need to see someone like a psychiatrist or a priest to help you deal with your hatred. you've skipped over anger. posting like yours could land you in prison. i wouldn't be surprised to learn that you have a criminal record for committing assault crimes against minorities and women. we've all seen your type in action. you need help. you believe suicide bombing is heroic. unfortunately, the Jews of 1938 Europe didn't think that they had to stockpile an armory of weapons to defend themselves against the Nazis and Nazi sympethizers. if you think that people are cowards because they don't go blow themselves up in a crowd of shoppers or dive bomb their planes into American Naval ships, you are really sick. Even Japaneses pilots of WWII that are alive today are sorrowful about their behavior during that time. Even Germany will prosecute it's own people for wearing Nazi clothing or supporting Nazi ideals. To die for Hitler or for the Japanese Emporer was pretty damn stupid. Jews don't want to fight. They just want their country and their citizens to be left alone. Iran and Syria want that land for the ports. It's no fun living in a land lock state. Fact is that Israel has the mightiest military forces in the region and they are pretty damn tough for being such a small country.

anthony soprano...all porn is gross. i think that if a person needs to watch crap like that to get aroused, then they have no imagination of their own or their partner doesn't quite 'do it' for them. porn is porn no matter where on this planet you come from or currently inhabit, it's all just gross. people that participate in pornography films are disgusting as well. they are a disgraceful lot. at least with israeli porn, all the 'johnson's' will look nice.

circumcision was commanded by אחוהינו and the gentiles do it is because the modern medical community declared it to be the preferred method of sanitary male hygiene. from a woman's perspective, circumcision is more asthetically pleasing and safer as far as bacterial concerns go.

75. ATTENTION ALL POSTERS:

know your history and the real facts, not hearsay, before you make yourselves look like ignorant, uneducated laughing stocks. i like posting here so i will give you all a brief summary of who i am.

i am a Jew. i am an American. i am a disable American Veteran of the U.S. Army's Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Weapons Division. I AM, ABOVE ALL THINGS, A WOMAN. i was injured in the line of duty serving my country during the Gulf War. If i could go back into the U.S. Army and serve in Iraq, I would leave tomorrow. i am a life-time university student which means that I am not a 'know it all' and hope to never become one. i have formally studied theology, kinesiology, literature, English, chemistry, sociology, and world history with emphasis on WWII history. like jesus, i am a licensed and certified carpenter.

i'm not predjudice. on jan. 4, 2007, i performed CPR on a 48 yr. old librarian and kept him alive for three hours which was enough time for his family to say their goodbyes before he slipped into a coma and died. HE WAS A BLACK MAN. i would do the same for anyone else regardless of race, religion, etc.

I look forward to future posting here and i look forward to getting under the skin of stupid people. have a nice day

One last thought: The Cohens and all of their other porn partners located in the city of Van Nuys in the San Fernando Valley, will probably incur the Wrath of יהוה in the form of a powerful earthquake which will swallow them and their studio of filth once and for all. See, even I can say that the Cohens are disgraceful Jews and they have blackened their good name. They held a high post in the Temple of Meeting. In biblical times, a Jew had to find a Kohan/Kohen and pay him 5 shekels to redeem their first born. I wouldn't give these Cohens 5 peices of poop.
