Rabbi Yaakov Rosenblatt is apparently not a fan of Sarah Silverman. In fact, if his open letter to her can be taken on its face, he's not a fan in general of uppity women who haven't made marriage and baby-making a priority.
The letter, published on JewishPress.com, initially takes issue with Silverman's Let My People Vote campaign for its use of "biblical language," but his argument quickly shifts focus to the comedian's real crimes: focusing on her career rather than marrying and mothering her own "brood." Rosenblatt suggests that the reason for Silverman's political interests -- which he seems to think are new -- is the result of a hole in her life that can only be filled by traditional marriage and family.
I think you have latched on to politics because you are searching for something to build. There is only so much pulling down one can do without feeling utterly destructive.

The typical tampon or pantyliner commercial might feature flowers, unicorns and women in white bikinis, but Carefree decided to get real with its latest pantyliner ad by discussing some natural bodily functions. Its approach, which included the use of words like "vagina" and "vaginal discharge," offended some, who in turn complained to the Advertising Standards Bureau (Asb).
The Carefree Acti-Fresh pantyliner ad features a naked woman, standing in a stark white room, strategically covered by flower petals. It might seem like the standard feminine-hygiene formula, until she says, "Even that bit of discharge in between our period is our body working to keep the vagina healthy."
A spokeswoman for the Asb told NineMSN that the Carefree ad received complaints soon after it first aired in New Zealand on Monday night.
Carefree spokeswoman Debbie Selikman responded by telling NineMSN that the company wanted to move away from the grandiloquent language typically...
