So former NFL player Tiki Barber has been hiding from the media by living in his agent's attic.
"Lep's Jewish," Barber joked. "And it was like a reverse Anne Frank thing."
Funny? Not particularly. In fact, it's closer to defacating on Auschwitz's mass graves, if the level of hyperbole aimed at Mr. Barber is any indication. Abraham H. Foxman, attention-seeking missile (and also national director of the Anti-Defamation League), described Barber's comment thusly:
"Holocaust trivialization continues to spread and finds new ways and expressions that shock the conscience...Our history and experiences are ours and deserve greater respect than being abused or perverted by Tiki Barber. The analogy to Anne Frank is not funny, it is outrageous and perverse...Her life should never be debased or degraded by insensitive and offensive analogies."
A Jew publicly crucifying an undeserving black man? Why, it's like a double-reverse Jesus thing.
