Jew or Not Jew, that is the question...

So there I was, wisely investing (wasting) my time on the internet, and lo and behold, I stumbled across one of the eight billion stories about Sandra Bullock and her douchebag cheating husband.

What was different about this story? It referred to Sandra Bullock as Jewish, which had never occurred to me. As I was raised Jewish, it is always curious to see who is Jewish or who isn't. Not sure why, just is...

So I googled "Is Sandra Bullock Jewish" and it took me to this site...

Yep, there is a website exclusively devoted to this burning question. At http://www.jewornotjew.com/, you type in someone's name and then you get their rating on what is, for lack of a better label, a Jew-o-meter.

The site assigns actors, models, politicians, etc, a Jew Score. And yep that is what they call it, bring on the matzo ball soup and karnatzel.

They assign the Jew score based on three factors: how Jewish the person is internally (birth family etc), how Jewish the person is are externally (how you act), and how much the Jew or Not Jew people want the person to be Jewish in the first place (sucks to be you, Mel Gibson).

I don't have a Jew score, though would probably be like a 10? Though was born Jewish, and have the culture and mannerism bit down, I don't practice, don't go to synagogue, don't keep kosher, happily accept gifts on all major holidays, marrying a non-Jewish guy, who is yep a guy...

Pamela Anderson and Sarah Palin each scored 2 (so not Jews...); and Mel Brooks and Anne Frank scored 15 (Super Jews!). Boy George is a 4. Prince is 4. Madonna is 7. Frank Gehry is a 13.

At the extreme Jew level, other scores of 15: Steven Spielberg, Albert Einsten, The Marx Brothers, a few others.

There are only three people at the extreme non-Jew level with scores of zero: Joseph Stalin, Mel Gibson, and Hitler. Uh-huh...

And no, Sandra Bullock is not Jewish. She scores a 6, though is apparently the most asked about actress on the site. So apparently just because you read it online doesn't mean it is true... who knew?

I've always thought Sandra was Jewish. Then, I learned that her mom was German, which made me think she may be a German Jew. But then the Jew-o-meter says she is not Jewish enough (Madonna, a 7? hmmm), so I don't know what to think anymore.

Not that it should matter, like birthday boy, Ticklebear, mentioned above; all I know is that she should be better off without that crocodile and his surreptitious tears.

You are Jewish? I did not see your name on the 'Jew or not Jew' list. I would give you a score of 8 out of 15 on the 'Jew or not Jew' scale. By the way, I am still waiting for the matzo balls, latkes, and hamantashen.

Wait. What about Adam Sandler and his entire holiday song about who's Jewish and who's not? Was that not supposed to be where I got the info?!
