Bar Rafaeli Nude Film provokes racist and illiiterate YouTube Comments

Art is in the eye of the beholder. The beholders of Bar Rafaeli's nude black and white video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VzEJIYh5c8) do not seem to be too cultured. The video was made to promote an art exhibit ("Beauty City") sponsored by a drugstore chain. The comments run from racist and illiterate to just illiterate or just racist and back again

 

An example:

 

She doesn't look like a typical Jew.

You know... the big nosed, curly haired, stingy money grabbing retarded f**ks who have Palestinian blood on their hands and steal people's property.

 

Who says Anti-Zionism is related to Anti-Semitism? No way, right? Who says Neanderthal man is extinct?

 

Here's another Israeli supermodel, Esti Mamo.

 

That's more like your idea of a Jew, right? (see here for more about Esti Mamo)

 

As for art and nudes, as one of my favorite love poets, E.E. Cummings wrote:

 

mr youse needn't be so spry
concernin questions arty

each has his tastes but as for i
i likes a certain party

gimme the he-man's solid bliss
for youse ideas i'll match youse

a pretty girl who naked is
is worth a million statues
