Howard Stern Totally Wrong About Purim


On today's show, after Robin read a story about Madonna and her kids being filmed wearing costumes for Purim, Howard made an erroneous remark about the  Jewish holiday.

Howard asserted that Purim was a minor holiday that "real jews" don't even think about. Very wrong! Purim is a very important holiday to religious Jews too.  It also happens to be one of the only fun holidays too. People dress up and drink a lot.  In fact, it's considered to mitzvah to drink until you're dizzy.

Just search for Purim to YouTube and you'll get a better idea.

Here's one party I found.

This is not to say Howard is a dumb man. He's quite smart and usually has great points of view. He just happens to be wrong about this.

Howard should try celebrating Purim sometime, and stop bashing Jews for celebrating one of their holidays.  

To quote Ronnie the Limo Driver, "What do you have against having fun?"

When he was talking about purim he mentioned Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore and called them some name that described them as like fake jews or something...what was that word?
