    Apparently the Tribune/Turbine is in hot water over their 'Jews found guiltyof murdering Jesus' article. Shades of last year's Traveller controversy...I'm a big fan of student media but when you can't give a satire page the time and effort it needs to work, you invariably get dodgy results. 2 years running now...an annual embarrasment on the scale of eurovision. What lucky religion/minority/ethnic group will be targeted next year? My money's on the Palestinians, they've been having it far too easy of late...

    I thought that article was hilarious, very tongue in cheek. Who complained about it?

    Presumably those goddamned Jesus-Murders. Is there anything they don't want to ruin for us?

    Don't forget CTN's "******"-gate, last year too.

    Ah, CTN, hope we get those sabbat vids in time for the execs.

    I presume that the op is satirising PC-thugs.

    The alternative would be dreadful.

    Do you have any proof that the OP writes for the Observer?

    Yeah because its even possible to get real anti-Semitic material into any mainstream publication. Get real, its obviously a joke. And lets not forget the Jews technically did kill Jesus :D

    Would you be so annoyed if they made fun of Islam? It seems that a lot of people think a joke about Islam is OK but a joke about Judaism isn't.

    He seems to have submitted one article - hardly means that he is partisan, or that his comment can just be dismissed.

    One article that we know of. There's hardly likely to be any more of a record of his involvement (on this website) than there is. And nobody dismissed his comment, just put it in perspective.
