According to Rabbi Abraham Cooper, scribbling a beard and devil horns on a photo of someone is "a symbol associated with virulent anti-Semitism going back to the Middle Ages, deployed by the genocidal Nazi regime, by Soviet propagandists and even in 2011 by those who still seek to demonize Jews today."

The mistranslation that causes Michelangelo to portray Moses with horns (instead of 'radiant') has nothing to do with the demonization of a pre-Christian European horned god.

This article was amended on 27 February 2011. The original headline, 'Bon viveur? Yes. Racist? Non', was felt to have been misleading, by giving the impression the writer had concluded John Galliano was not a racist before any allegation had been fully investigated. It has now been changed.

Galliano caused offence for what many perceived as gross insensitivity a decade ago when he used outfits improvised against harsh weather by homeless people in Paris, whom he saw every day while out running, as inspiration for a couture collection worth upwards of £10,000 per garment.

Waiting to see how 'troubled' he is - I am suspecting major issues here besides assholism and alcohol, dude was drinking solo which is NAGL but as of now, no scary Dior press office to back up/hide his bullshit. Good on Natalie Portman for speaking up, because I'm sure her threat to quit over it was probably the last straw.
The irony is killing me: a gay man would be oven-ready in Nazi Germany too.

Most people who bang on about Jewish conspiracies don't actually know any Jews for reals.
Disturbing part of the Galliano story is that he's doing sterling work giving homophobes ammo for the 'bitchy gay man' angle in lots of the reporting. Gay friends already complaining about it.

Actually, suzy, part of fully accepting the humanity of homosexuals is realizing that their capacity to be drunken, racist assholes is every bit as large as any other person's.
For me, the real story is about how sheltered someone so pampered can become and how that deference paid him has obviously sheltered him from having to interact with normal people who would otherwise call him on this inane BS.
Also, it's interesting to me that Arnault/LVMH acted so quickly and so firmly to protect not only Dior's rep but possibly all their other holdings.

The Nazis were not as rigorous in their homophobia as in other forms of hate but oven-ready is a felicitous way of putting it, nonetheless, Shakey.
