In the land of the superhero, X-mensch marks the spotter

SEMITE-spotting is a very popular pastime practised by Jewish people around the world: it involves the collecting and collating of Jewish celebrity names, then spouting off those names at any Semite-spotting-spouting opportunity. If you're at a party and someone puts on a Beck CD, there's sure to be a Semite-spotter somewhere who blurts out, "Hey, that's Beck, the alternative indie-rocker with a folk-funk sensibility; he's Jewish, you know." If you're at the cinema watching a Rob Schneider movie, there's likely to be a Semite-spotter sitting nearby ready to lean over and whisper, "Look, it's Rob Schneider on the screen; he's Jewish, you know." Then, after most of the audience has walked out, they'll lean over again and whisper, "Actually, he's not; we don't want him."
