Joan Rivers Criticized For Joke About Heidi Klum That Referenced the Holocaust
Said of Klum's Oscar gown, "The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens."

Usually I couldn't care less when Joan Rivers is in the news but anyone who's offended by her German joke needs to get a life. Same goes for anyone offended by Seth MacFarlane at the Oscars.
And I'm Jewish by the way. Mr. Foxman and the ADL need to fuck off. They don't speak for all Jews or even most Jews.
