My boss just started discussing "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," |
|
...and started discussing Hitler and antisemitism and movies and "what do Jews think?"...
This was somewhat in response to a question I had about interviewing an intern.
:scared:
I think my boss is losing it.

3. It was a pretty standard "they're making a movie and you're Jewish so I'm |
|
using you as the spokesperson for the Jewish opinion across eternity" conversation otherwise...but still. :scared:
He's been acting VERY distracted recently. I'm wondering if something is just wrong with him.

8. I didn't actually find evidence of a movie, but that's what he said. |
|
And I'm not sure whether anyone making it into a movie, or making a movie that uses it as a plot device or prop, or what, and whether it's an American movie or a Syrian movie or who knows...

5. To be fair -- he was discussing it in a historical, and then a "they're |
|
making a movie out of it" concept...
But it's still weird.

10. What? All Jews don't have the same worldview? |
|
Oh, man, THAT'S rich. What next, blacks (regardless of country of origin) all liked Idi Amin?
Jeez... I think your boss needs to step away from the white-out for awhile

11. Is it ever appropriate to ask things like that? |
|
Because I was under the impression that it wasn't.

13. It started off appropriately enough (well, aside from the fact I asked |
|
about an intern):
Boss: "Are you familiar with the Zion-something?" Me: "Umm..." Boss: "You know, the book, Hitler cited it in Mein Kampf and it was used to justify a century of anti-Semitism?" Me: "Oh, The Elders of Zion?" (I forgot "Protocols.") Boss: "Yeah...blah blah blah talking to a cabbie blah blah blah just spouted off blah blah popular in Syria blah blah do you know they're making a movie?" Me: "Um, no. I was not aware of that." Boss: "Oh. I wonder what the Jewish reaction to that would be...do you have any thoughts?" Me: (Blank stare.) Boss: "Oh well. Oh by the way -- I'm taking vacation time this afternoon."

Perhaps the Syrians are making a movie out of Protocols.
Man, your boss seems a bit, well, barmy.

I've not been, and I'm not a corned beef fan in any case, but I've heard good things.
