Lena Dunham is under fire today for a supposedly funny quiz she wrote for the New Yorker where she asked readers if they could tell if she was describing her dog or her Jewish boyfriend.
Some examples from the quiz:
Do the following statements refer to (a) my dog or (b) my Jewish boyfriend?
3. He’s crazy for cream cheese.
Stereotypical Jewish food? Check!
7. But he has asthma.
Stereotypical Jewish malady? Check!
13. He doesn’t tip.
Stereotypical Jewish attitude toward money? Check!
There are 35 questions in total, each as offensive as the ones we’ve posted.
It’s no wonder people are upset with her:

@ErickaAndersen she says Jewish boyfriend, she means metrosexual a-religious man-child.

There’s NOTHING funny about Dunham either.
Flashback! Remember Dunham’s rant against “deranged neo-cons” at the Golden Globes?
