So the mayor of Jerusalem is running in the New York City marathon, but that’s not frum is it?
“he will probebly arriving on shabbs, he like’s thet peaple are mchalel shabbs, opening karta lot. what a shame!!”
“Iwould suggest not to run thru willie and incite the community he hates!”
“Ok, well the race itself is on a Sunday . He’ll probably leave here Thursday night to arrive Friday AM and then he’ll run in untzinusdik clothing alongside women with even less on than he. Marathon’s are Greek. They glorify the human body in an idolatrous way. We don’t need them to promote tourism to Jewish sites.”

Hesh,
I don’t think you need to write your own articles anymore. Nothing you write is as humorous as these vin comments (I’m not bashing your writing, but these commenters). Maybe you can start posting the vin comment of the hour!
What you need is a Twitter-like scroll bar on the front of your blog that has these stupid inarticulate misspelled comments streaming all day.
No wonder there is a Shidduch crisis; the eligible bachelorettes go to VIN, see the uneducated masses on display, and give up hope.
willi lol
I’m impressed that one of those guys actually knows that marathons and such are Greek. Heck, I’m impressed he knows who the Greeks are!
Aren’t their posts copyright?
Phil: in US, ‘fair use’ allows for considerable leniencies with regard to how he uses quotations. You can quote people so much as you want, so long as you provide some adequate citation (he is; they’re all from V.I.N.) and you’re not trying to stela money from them (he isn’t).
Kim,
I thought fair use allowed one to use quotes from copyrighted material as part of a larger article, once they quoted the source. In this case, the entire post was just copied.
I realized he isn’t trying to steal, and I’m no lawyer either, but I imagine if Hesh started doing this this on a regular basis, VIN might get pissed off and force him to remove it (or worse).
