What Jew talking bout Willis?

Well, this started out as a way to appease our Jewish readers who may be sick of all this Christmas paraphernalia, but I couldn’t resist the pun, and so… well. There isn’t a lot out there connecting Chanukah with skateboarding. You can find a gross of generic Chanukah skateboards on Zazzle that had about as much effort put into them as well, me trying to find a good litereary device to… never mind. I did find this skateboard-themed menorah, and a statement on the Anti Defimation League web site talking about Vans shoes:

An e-mail rumor long circulated on the Internet suggests that the maker of Vans skateboarding shoes is anti-Jewish because some of their shoes come with a pattern resembling a Star of David on a portion of their outsole (bottom). Some of the more conspiracy-minded e-mails suggest that this pattern was created by the company to put Jews down (“step on Jews”) or that the company was “founded by neo-Nazis.”

ADL has concluded that there is no truth to any of these allegations.

While ADL understands that the use of the Star of David pattern in this context may be offensive to some, there is no factual basis to believe that the maker of Vans shoes incorporated the six-pointed star design in an attempt to insult Jews.

And now, a video I found on the interwebs simply titled, “Jew on a skateboard.”

hey there.
