“satire just doesn’t work that way, sorry”

FINALLY someone who understands satire.

I call bullsh*t on people saying it can’t be funny. Everything can be funny. Literally everything and anything. Dead babies? There’s a joke there. Forced female circumcision? Definitely jokes available. Anne Frank? So many jokes! She wrote a diary that was then published and read by millions of people (I’m sure she had planned on that when she wrote about her sexual feelings). Was it a tragic situation? Of course. Does that mean there aren’t jokes having to do with a girl masturbating while hiding from Nazis? Of course not. This costume is hysterical.

explaining why a joke is funny makes it not funny anymore.

I’m actually thinking of dressing as Anne Frank this year. Not because I think its funny, but because I am very interested in her. I’ve read several books about her, not to mention her diary, and I don’t see how dressing as her is an insult.

Revolting and disgusting.
Lets dress up like a little girl who spend much time hidden away and then died horribly in a concentrationcamp.
And why?
Not for a movie, not to learn something, not to educate, just to have some fun at a party.
If I would see someone dressed like that at Halloween, you’d be in trouble.
You should do some research, learn about the war, try and understand this girl and what happened to her and many like her.
If you think you already know a lot about it… you should read it all again.
Probably a few times.
Further more, she never wore a star with “Juden” or “Jude” on it, shows how much you know about the subject.
Even more shocking that many of the people commenting on it seem to think it is ok.

You should have listened to your mother.

I think Breslaw can officially be labeled an unJew.

Anna Breslen is one twisted sister. Her Gawker article comparing her grandparent Holocaust survivors to remorseless sociopaths was equally disturbing. Self hating Jews with too much time on their hands are to be avoided like locusts, IMO.

Lol. You DO know “juden” is the plural, right? A singular star — for a singular Jew — would have read “jude”.

Good thing you did the research. Heaven forbid you ended up looking like some two-bit dick-bait looking for attention, instead of the historically accurate, satirical speculum of feigned discomfort that you were.

How are those Daddy issues coming, Anna?

sad pathetic and self involved. other descriptors include jaded borderline personality lacking in empathy. narcissistic also comes to mind.

Be ashamed.Seriously.

Vile.

Anna Breslaw grew up in America. She never experienced Jew-hatred on her own skin. She was never called “Dirty Yid full of s–t,” she never heard “Satan sperm” or “Hitler was right” addressed directly to her, she was not stalked, beaten, spat on, urinated on, etc.

For almost 2000 years, this is what every Jew on the planet went through. Often it was worse.

The result — she has grown up utter filth.

This is one of those very rare times when I feel that blatant Jew-hatred (antisemitism) would actually do good. To her, anyway.

You are one sick fuck.

First of all: nice costume

Second off: people need to relax. Sure, anne frank was a child and died in a concentration camp. Sure, hiler had 6-8 million (many of which were jews) killed. but if you’re saying it’s wrong for her to dress like anne frank, it must be wrong to dress like a native amrican, am I right? After all, the US did basically the same to them that the nazis (NOT germans, there’s a difference) had done to the jews. In fact, hitler references andrew jackson’s indian removal policies in mein kampf, but no, we can never do wrong to others.
Have you ever seen someone dressed as a russian? But that’s ok, too? Stalin was responsible for the deaths of over 60 million “kulaks”, or people he perceived to be “enemies” of the state–ten times more than hitler

People need to stop being so damn sensitive all the time, she didn’t do this to offend people…

Anna Breslaw is a smug asshole who clearly has no sense of what real suffering is. Apparently the self-absorbed, empathy-less Jewish American Princess has evolved. She not superior because of her nails and hair, or the latest fashion, or that fantastic nose job. Now, she’s superior because she can pass judgment on the stupid old Jews she grew up with who are annoying and pushy and bore her with Holocaust stories. And she can laugh and groan about them with her ironic, cool, urban, uber-aware friends in some trendy bar. What she doesn’t get is that in the 1930′s, Jews in Germany were behaving exactly the same way, rolling their eyes at THEIR parents.

I too dressed as Anne this year. Many people enjoyed it. Majority of people that sent me hate were online. I was told to kill myself and various other cruel things. We’re ignorant and stupid for dressing as one of our heroines? No. Those who sent us cruel hate. They are ignorant. If we wanted to be mean, we would have actually ridiculed Anne in some sort of cruel manner. We dressed up as Anne would have. That’s it. Just stop with the ignorance already. You’re offended by an innocent costume? How about all the slutty, perverse costumes they have for women? Native American costumes? Nun costumes? Halloween is innocent. There was no joke made. Only a deep admiration for Anne. There is no need for cruelty. Especially when the intentions were only good.

Very tasteless idea. Very self-serving idea. I know she thinks she’s incredibly clever. I call it a media whore idea and very wrong.
