Now that we've all spent a whole week arguing over whether Santa is white and if saying Michelle Obama looked pissed is racist,we bring you news of a delightful Romanian television holiday special that "indirectly" glorified the Holocaust by saying Jews should go back up the chimney, just like Good St. Nick, except -- here's the clever presto changeo, you guys --
"merely broadcasting carols selected by a cultural center dedicated to preserving the traditional culture of the northwestern Cluj region."
I'm guessing those same clever Romanians will roar when John Stewart or Lewis Black crack a few "Nicolae CeauΓΒescu" jokes.
<i>CeauΓΒescu</i>: the name alone is good for a hearty laugh!
The network says they were &quot;merely broadcasting carols selected by a cultural center dedicated to preserving the traditional culture of the northwestern Cluj region.&quot;
So, there you go. Burning Jews is part of the traditional culture of the Cluj region, I guess.
<i>&quot;Once all the Germans were war-like and mean, &quot;But that couldn&#039;t happen again. &quot;We showed them a lesson in 1918, &quot;And they&#039;ve hardly bothered us since then.&quot;</i>
&quot;merely broadcasting carols selected by a cultural center dedicated to preserving the traditional culture of the northwestern Cluj region.&quot;

&quot; preserving the traditional culture of the northwestern Cluj region&quot;
You know...if this is the sort of shit that comes out of the Cluj region, maybe it&#039;s not really worth preserving.
Da fuq?
Well, at least they didn&#039;t replace it with &quot;the gays&quot;.
Romania is the Texas of Europe.
