5 Feet of Fury

Treacle-nacht! I blame Stephen Harper! (And possibly Andy Dick*…)

Not funny.

But kinda:

Comedian Jon Lovitz has joined the call for action against a group of teenagers who admitted to anti-Semitic vandalism. Last week, reports emerged that swastikas and the word “Jew” were drawn in maple syrup on the walkway of a California home, with feces also left nearby.

Lovitz came out after the incident, announcing that he was a childhood friend of the homeowner, who is also the son of a Holocaust survivor.

The comedian admitted that he himself was a victim of bullying in school and equated the vandalism with burning a cross on the home of an African American family.

Maron remarks: “I’m one of the few people who thinks he should’ve done it sooner…”
