Debbie Schlussel: Hypocrita: Anti-Semite Preaches Against Hate in NBC, ADL Ad
If you were watching "Dateline" on NBC, last night, from the 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern, you likely saw a Public Service Announcement from "My Name is Earl" co-star Jaime Pressly preaching against hate.
In the ad--brought to you by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the NBC broadcast network itself--new out-of-wedlock mom Pressly lectures us that we shouldn't teach our kids our "hate":
Hate is something they shouldn't inherit.
Too bad Ms. Pressly wasn't talking to a mirror, instead of a camera. Pressly said she thinks Jews are ugly. In a December 2001 interview with Howard Stern, Pressly, in commenting that she thought Stern was ugly, told him he looked like "You got slapped [with] a yarmulke." Get it? A yarmulke is a Jewish religious skullcap. Jews (those who wear yarmulkes) are ugly in Pressly's eyes. We could say that trashy, uneducated hick Pressly--who got her start appearing nude in such classy cinematical wonders as "Poison Ivy: The New Seduction"--got slapped a pack of Marlboros and her father. But that wouldn't be nice.
Good going NBC and ADL. Next time, get O.J. to do a PSA warning us against murdering our ex-spouses.
Likes like someone got slapped with hypocrisy.
