Description: Jews have big noses (Oct. 23) - What would appear like an easy stop at 'The Tonight Show' promoting her new film has turned into a PR nightmare for Halle Berry . The Oscar-winning actress went onto Jay Leno's show to talk about her latest movie, the drama 'Things We Lost in the Fire.' Page Six reports that during the interview, Leno showed the audience manipulated photos of the actress created with the Apple Photo Booth application. One image showed Berry with an elongated nose. An audience member says that Berry quipped "'Here's where I look like my Jewish cousin," which was greeted with crickets from the studio audience. Leno tried to save the moment, saying "'I'm glad you said that and not me." On the final show that aired Friday night, Berry's comment was edited out. Berry spoke with Page Six to explain herself and apologize. "I so didn't mean to offend anybody, and after the show I realized it could be seen as offensive, so I asked Jay to take it out, and he did." And, from the world of overreaction, we have Jay Leno editing out a legitimately funny joke, not because of the backlash, but out of the FEAR of backlash. I'm glad that no Jewish orgs have complained (I think), but still... Did they have to panic over such a small joke? Do they think the Jews would have been THAT bothered? Would they have been? This kind of stuff is silly. We have to worry about Jewish nose jokes, N-words on stage, and drawings of Muhammed, but we ignore the real problems of ALL Americans losing Constitutional freedoms every time we pay higher taxes so churches pay none. We must be prepared to make people understand the difference between silly political correctness and real bigotry. By the way, Arabs have big noses too.

DrJayBennet ::: Favorites It is very sad a person has to insult other cultures/people to make money. With all the problems in the World in reference to culture indifferences and religious beliefs we continue to allow sillyness as noted above to infiltrate our life.

CadicusTheDamned ::: Favorites I don't like Carlos Mencia (he steals material from other comics and then mutilates it in his unfunny way), but he does have a good point about everybody needing to lighten the fuck up and learning to take a joke. 07-10-25 22:01:10 __________________________________________________
