You Know What You Are? A Self-Loathing Goat: The Daily Nooner (EST)!

Dear Jewish Defense League, My name is Ross Wolinsky. I'm a Jew, a Cracked blogger, and an all-around good guy. We've never met before, but that's probably because I never had a good reason to write to you... until today. Sure, I've encountered some light anti-semitism in the past (growing up, sometimes my friends would call me "bignose" or "diamond-hoarding devil banker who lives at the center of the Earth and controls global geopolitics"), but that's probably to be expected when you're one of the chosen people. I dealt with those problems myself back then. "Don't hate the player - hate the game," I told them, coining an idiom that would take the rap scene by storm years later.

And that's not even to mention the horns and cloven hooves. You're probably wondering, Jewish Defense League, "What does this hilarious and handsome Cracked blogger want us to do? Email The YouTube and have them take the video down?" That's a nice sentiment, but with so many video-sharing sites out there I don't think that would be enough. If you're really committed to the cause, Jewish Defense League, now is your chance to prove it: Head down to the

Jambbas Ranch in Fayetteville, NC, find that goat, and put him in a body bag. Or maybe just bring him some books that will teach him to be proud of his heritage. I guess it's your call. Oh, and hey, Jewish Defense League: as long as I've got your attention, is 26 too old for a Bar Mitzvah? Hit me back. Sincerely, Ross Wolinsky
