    Just a quick "heads up" maybe.
    Humour CharterThe following are considered "no go" areas for your postings here to the Humour Board...

    * Pornography
    * Dead Baby Jokes
    * Racist Jokes
    * Links to Mature Content or Rotten websites
    * etc...

    I see a link at the top of the Humour Forum, one of them Google ads called "Funniest Jewish Jokes".

    I am only linking directly to this site to highlight what was contained on the site, I do not condone jokes of a racist/anti-semetic nature.

    I dont think its a racist site... in fact its not...

    The company Azara are Jewish - Isreali
    Located in Rishon Letsion, near Tel-Aviv, A. Zara Ltd is one of the largest suppliers of kippot in Israel.Our warehouse and offices are west to Rishon City between the Telaviv-Ashdod highway and the sea.

    Why are they seeking Jewish Jokes.....
    The Jewish people lay claim to the oldest of written histories, as well as an endless list of grievances toward the mostly hostile world in which they have lived. They have endured over four thousand years of persecution, slaughter, torture, inquisition, pogroms and death camps. A history of pain and suffering, of tragedies, of great losses, and of surviving against all odds. Jewish humor, too, has persevered over many a generation. Wit and laughter helped sustain the Jews in their misery. It also provides us with a unique and insightful tool for the examination of the Jew's chronicles, his attitudes, and his way of coping with reality.

    and
    Jewish humor derives from the immense disparity between what was expected to be the glorious destiny of the "Chosen People" who were to be "light unto the nations" and their long tormented and often bleak existence. To help cope with this disparity Jews created a humor where laughter and tears, happiness and fear were inextricable.

    I can see no evidence of racism anywhere on the site....
