NEW YORK (AP) -- Saying he's "as Jewish as a matzo ball or kosher salami," Jackie Mason filed a lawsuit against Jews for Jesus for using his name and likeness in a pamphlet.

The $2 million lawsuit seeks the immediate destruction of the pamphlet, which members of the missionary group have been handing out at various points around New York City.

"While I have the utmost respect for people who practice the Christian faith, the fact is, as everyone knows, I am as Jewish as a matzo ball or kosher salami," the 75-year-old comedian said in documents filed in state Supreme Court in Manhattan.

Founded in the 1970s, Jews for Jesus practices Judaism but regards Jesus as the Messiah.

2 things, this thread reminded me of a van I saw in Yosemite that had "Jews for Jesus" printed on every side 2 or 3 times.

2nd, I don't like how your user name is 0, it screws with me when I look at who created the thread and how many replies there are. 😉

Susan Perlman, a spokeswoman for Jews for Jesus, said the pamphlet was "good-natured."

"Shame on him for getting so upset about this," she said Friday.

F*** That! I'd be pissed too!

I find this interesting. Take a religion that does basically NO advertising or evangelism (Judaism), and combine it with Jesus. What do you get? Yet another faith trying to expose itself on every street corner. What IS it about this guy? I'll tell ya one thing, If Jesus were alive today, he'd be rolling in the money he made from his career as a marketing consultant.

slightly OT. His daughter is a comedian in NYC. She is the FURTHEST THING FROM Funny... and even futher from normal looking (light years from attractiveness). All she does it get on stage and say ... "my father, jackie mason..."

ARGHHHHHH

SERENITY NOW!
