John Safran's Race Relations - Ep 8 The Crucifixion

[DoYouKnowPascal]

... Did that really happen? I mean, it looked pretty real, except for the fact that he wasn't bleeding at all.

[bloomingdedalus]

@DoYouKnowPascal Yes, this is real.

[englishfrenchgerman]

Ouch

[Andybaby]

Much of Safrans latest stuff comes across as an attention-seeking gimmics, rather than anything genuinely entertaining or informative.

[gussy1d5]

omg can someone tell me if that was for real?

[Vicatiti65]

omg u can actually here his screams of pain!

[yetisquid]

Actions speak loder than words..ouch! Thumbs up!

[tuktuktok]

Safran is FUCKING AWESOME! Judge by ANY standards, that was HARDCORE!

[MitzvaMobile]

@tuktuktok he outragious, But no Shikse Jhon!!!!!

[gussy1d5]

[pchagis]

Thats going alittle too far

[TheJohnsonsOfficial]

[SplinterOfChaos]

@TheJohnsonsOfficial

You see any blood? Then again, not like i have an explanation.

[oOVlPraLLaSlVOo]

i don't see how anyone could have laughed to this?

[CheezInspector]

@oOVlPraLLaSlVOo, are you kidding?! That was hilarious.

[3eau2aniel]

jesus.. taht was intense!!! :O

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

This made me laugh, even though it was real. They do this in the philippines or something. That would have hurt real bad. I have stepped on a nail and it went straight through my foot. It felt worse on the way out. From then on (because I have a beard and long hair) people nicknamed me 'jesus'.

HAHAAHAAH

[markyaz1968]

The Emerald Hill Times, a local paper in St. Kilda Australia, has awarded John Safran "The all Hype, No Substance Award" for his Race Relations TV show. At least for me, it is was mildly amusing and somewhat interesting. I wish they would just bring back the old Safran from Music Jamboree.

[dirkdar01]

In all seriousness ellwog, if you don't like reading lengthy comments, then don't - it's just that simple. Laffmon, you make good and interesting points, but people here in Youtube don't have the time or inclination to read long comments, so your points get lost quickly. JS is exploiting the crucifixion of Jesus attempting to discard his Jewish roots, but instead it shows Safran being insecure and neurotic by his disconnection with his Jewish faith; resulting from being raised as a secular Jew.

[laffmon]

@llewog: Brevity is only useful for sound bites, government weaseling, or like in your case, spewing cheap insults for lack of anything better to say. Can you explain any topic clearly and succinctly with just a few words? You haven't yet, but I'll be patient and wait. Give it some thought, I''m sure there is an active brain cell in there somewhere. You my friend, appeared to have stopped learning since childhood, so you have my sympathy and pity.

[laffmon]

Lastly, the beatings looked too real. Serves John Safran right for all the shit he's done to other people. Perhaps there truly is justice in the world.

[llewog]

No-one cares what you have to say, stop leaving essay length comments because no-one's even reading them you failure

[laffmon]

You obviously are reading my stuff mate. Now, if you wish to stop whining and argue against what I write, then go for it as it's a free country. I suggest you focus more on content and not so much on length in your next go. Or you can continue to simply stoop to a lower level and berate me with meaningless insulting names that actually shows more of your mentality than your actual intelligence.

[llewog]

I'll keep my point even more brief, a life lesson you seem to have missed as a child.

Nobody cares,and while Im here I'll point out that the irony that in order to leave your lengthy, unsought criticisim of Safran,it required you to search his name, his tv show and then select a clip and began your patter.

Some might suggest you invest in a hobby.

And before you point out the irony in me telling you to get a hobby, I'll have you know I'm bludging from work and don't have anything better to do

[laffmon]

Who had in fact died years before of a heart attack. At least if you're going to do this sort of thing as a stunt, don't deceive people who are showing actual sympathy for your suffering. That's both disrespectful and condescending of their faith. Where John Safran actually screws up by telling the viewers he's trying to shed his Judaism, and them goes to be crucified. The fact is Jesus never gave up his Judaism, he was a practicing Jew when he died. Thus proving this was a stunt for Safran.

[laffmon]

Watch carefully: John Safran is being supported by people as he is on the cross. His feet are flat on a platform. He was only up there for a few moments. FAKE! Ok, perhaps the nails being driven into his hands and feet weren't, but I doubt that Jesus would have had thin, sharp, sterilized steel nails, they would have used dull, rusty iron nails on Jesus. What shits me is the fact he lied to the promoters using the name John Michaels and telling them he was doing it for his sick cancerous mum.

[Marbig]

HOLY DAMN.

[benjidrake]

Severe yes, something no modern Jew has thought to do, yes, but a "de-Jewing"? Did Jesus' crucifixion make him any less Jewish? If anything this only serves to make Safran one of the most formidable Jews in the world!

[samage1337]

wow

[stickshift4000]

John Safran you legend!!

If Deborah Key Higgins is reading this: I'm single!

[TheLilyCaprice]

Ugh. I would freakin never do that for a pathetic tv show stunt! Too gory for me!

Poor old Safran.
