Debbie Schlussel: Time for a New Game: Spot the Offensive Symbol on Jamie Foxx's Surf Board
TMZ says it's a rental surf board (people rent surf boards?), but so what? If it were me, I would reject a surf board with a swastika on it. Foxx has bragged that his father is Muslim (which means by Islamic law, he is, too), and it looks to me like this surfboard has all the Muslim symbols on it--a swastika next to a Jewish star (since Muslims outrageously equate the two and like swastikas, since they--Muslims--are the new Nazis), a faux peace sign, and references to the awful "Hedwig and The Angry Inch," a musical about a gay German eunuch transsexual. Yup, I'd definitely ask for a different surfboard and ask that this one be "retired." Presumably, if he saw the $30.00 rental pricetag, written on it, he also saw the swastika. But took that surfboard anyway.
Apparently, Jamie Foxx doesn't have a prob with swastikas. Remember that, the next time you think of going to his lousy movies.
