Hey Jew, indeed.

We still have that ban on foul-smelling hippies, though. ABBA, too.

Well, they were bigger than Jesus.

They were banned from the country because of fears their music would "corrupt the youth"? Seriously?

Remind me again why we support this country, given its blatant disregard for individual freedom.

It was cause of that one b-side, Elanor Rigberg.

Yes, because America never did anything like that, like hiding half of Elvis Presley's body because his leg movements were perverting women, or completely freaking out over a breast during the Superbowl.

The Fab Four were due to play a gig in the Middle Eastern nation in 1965, but were banished from the country after the then-government refused to grant the necessary permits over fears their music would corrupt Israeli youths

FARkin' Nazis.

Oh. Whoops. Sorry.

Hmm. One of these things is not like the other.

Fine. Let's talk about Sen. McCarthy then.

Tatsuma: Fine. Let's talk about Sen. McCarthy then.

Just admit that it was a stupid thing to do and there isn't anything comparable here in the US.

Sheesh. We didn't ban the Beatles, man.

They must've heard the alternate lyrics to "Baby You're a Rich Man."

Back in the Jew.S.S.R.

whidbey: Just admit that it was a stupid thing to do

It certainly was

and there isn't anything comparable here in the US.

Yes and no. There are things that can be compared, but not at the same level, I agree

Tatsuma: Fine. Let's talk about Sen. McCarthy then.

Wait--you're drawing comparisons to McCarthy to justify this? Maybe you don't understand this, but virtually everyone in the country, with the exception of Ann Coulter, has believed since about 1960 that what McCarthy did was inexcusable. I'm not sure a "b-b-b-but McCarthy" argument is going to convince anybody that Israel's actions were somehow proper.

Tatsuma: whidbey: Just admit that it was a stupid thing to do

OK, so ignore my post above then.

We did ban the Beach Boys from a 4th of July concert because they may bring in "the wrong element".

It is a well known fact Moshe Dayan caught his wife fapping to the cover of Meet the Beatles.

Martstar: They must've heard the alternate lyrics to "Baby You're a Rich Man."

It's true; nothing is too obscure for FARK. ;)

I'm looking through Jew.

Apparently Epstein's jew mojo wasn't big enough for them.

QU!RK1019: Martstar: They must've heard the alternate lyrics to "Baby You're a Rich Man."

Come on, it's the Beatles after all.

/I don't like your tie

Well, you won't be able to go to the bathroom at the event..

/wait for it..

This story is soo Yesterday.

Ilmarinen: I don't like your tie
//Scrambled eggs....

That's a nice hat!

Seriously, I wonder if the Israelis took all their Beatles records and burned them in big public bonfires like the dumbfarks in the South did about the same time...?

What's funny is that i actually like Matisyahu.

cameroncrazy1984: What's funny is that i actually like Matisyahu.

How on earth is that even funny?, much less worth a post about it?

I love the Beatles about as much as I love Israel- Not very!
It's like if South Africa banned Justin Timberlake.

Tatsuma: How on earth is that even funny?, much less worth a post about it?


relax. if he said matisyahu sucked, you'd be upset. he gave him a compliment and you're evidnetly upset. if i said i was indifferent to matisyahu you'd be upset. farking settle down already.

Right. Basically Tats thinks I'm an anti-semite, and that's just not true. I dunno, I find it funny.

rickythepenguin: relax. if he said matisyahu sucked, you'd be upset.

No I wouldn't be. Wtf.

cameroncrazy1984: Basically Tats thinks I'm an anti-semite

No I don't. Wtf, part 2.

rickythepenguin:

relax. if he said matisyahu suckedwas good, you'dGunny Highway would be upset.

You know who else didn't like British exports?

So let me intro-duce to you

Um... Laxtone's Superbe? :)

why the heck would izzy ban the beaties?

I am the walrus.

/therefore, not kosher.

I like where this is headed.

I see what Jew did there.

Is that why John did the Hassidic look for awhile?

hip_replacement: why the heck would izzy ban the beaties?

The rest of the ju-ju hounds didn't like them?

Raider_dad: We did ban the Beach Boys from a 4th of July concert because they may bring in "the wrong element".

And I'll never forgive that asshole Watt for that. Ruined my Forth of July.

VictoryCabal: And I'll never forgive that asshole Watt for that. Ruined my Forth of July.

Except, to be fair, the Beach Boys sucked pretty bad at that point in their career. The show would have been under 45 minutes anyway.

John Lennon; "Show business is an extension of the Jewish religion. You can read into it what you like. It's just a little old statement. It's not very serious, you know" Meh-Wagner's been banned over there a lot longer

whidbey: Except, to be fair, the Beach Boys sucked pretty bad at that point in their career. The show would have been under 45 minutes anyway.

Yeah, but I would have been... 9, 10, something like that. I wouldn't have know the difference. I just liked the Beach Boys because my parents played the records, and they had been at every Forth in DC I could remember.

Sgt. Yitzhak he said "oy vey"

'Cuz Isreal says the Beatles are no longer banned!

*bows in silent respect* Well done.

And, I hope Sir Paul & Ringo tell Israel to fark off.

Jeez, Russia was allowed to have Beatles music almost two decades before Israel? This is silliness.

I guess they should've made that butcher cover for Yesterday and Today kosher.

won't someone think of the children??!!?!?

Refusing to grant a permit for one 1965 concert /= 43 year ban.

The Israeli death metal scene has been going for years, and is fairly well known. At least it was, when I was into that stuff.
