C'MON, WHAT ABOUT "LENNY SCHWARTZ'S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS"? You know that game you play where you make up the names of porno films based on real films (i.e., "Saving Private Ryan" becomes "Shaving Ryan's Privates")? Well, it seems a couple of Einsteins over at Princeton, thought a hilarious variation on the theme would be to alter the names of movies into a list of the "Top 10 Holocaust movies I've never seen but would like to" and publish the results in a weekly campus humor magazine. Among the hi-larious examples Jacob Savage and Rob Buerki, who it should be noted are members of the tribe, came up with were "Dude, Where's My Family" ("Dude, Where's My Car"), "A Week at Bergen-Belsen" ("A Weekend at Bernie's") and the classic "Exterminate the Fockers " ("Meet the Fockers"). Not suprisingly, some people around campus found the list offensive, though my main objection isn't that its insensitive, but rather that it's remarkably not funny. (Link via Romenesko.)
