"I Heart Jews" Facebook Group Turns Out to Be Anti-Semitic Prank

by Terrence O'Brien on March 27, 2009 at 05:27 PM


Someone with either a sick, demented sense of humor or, more likely, an actual mental disorder, started a Facebook group called "I Heart Jews," then changed its name to "Hitler: Great Modern Man of History" once it had amassed over 2,000 members.

Some members, of course, reacted strongly, with one calling it "despicable," while another said they were "absolutely appalled," according to Fox News. The name of the group was later changed back to "I Heart Jews" and is, as of now, still up on Facebook.

We assume it's a prank done in extremely bad taste, probably to emulate, poorly, the brand of humor seen on 'South Park,' and 'Family Guy.' Unfortunately, some folks may actually think this is funny. [From: Fox News]
