😡 Hated it🔥 Controversial

Viewers debate whether a joke about Chinese organ harvesting in this episode is offensive stereotyping or relevant satire, with some finding it desperate humor while others defend it as topical.

Oh my! Like we say in Norway: Du er lur du tenker mye!

Stop watching Seinfeld if it's not funny. It happens to be very funny for a lot of others.

----- a small part of an article I found on the net ------ On the international level, The World Health Organization is deeply concerned with the trade, and has urged member countries to ban it. But such a request by an international organization without legal binding powers will not carry much weight. The United States has accused China for forcing its prisoners to donate their organs for transplants, and has threatened economic sanctions. However, the decision to decouple human rights and trade regarding China certainly sends the message that body parts trade is not on the priority list among countries. -----------------------------

Since it's the United States who's accusing China, it must be right? eh?

like "the Chinese will take your organs." Boy, Seinfeld is so desperate for

Don't you realize that you sound as ludicrous as the characters in the episode when Jerry was trying to impress the native american girl and everything he did offended her including asking a mailman who happened to be Asian where the Chinese restaurant was. The mailman got mad and started shouting that Jerry ask him because he was Chinese, like it was a racial thing and Jerry said he was asking because he was the mailman and knew where everything was.

The show cracks on everybody, including Jews (which Seinfeld is). Don't you remember when Jerry was making fun of his Uncle Leo for thinking everyone was an anti Sematic? If you get offended over that statement about Chinese and organs, you are truly too sensitive. You need to learn to laugh at youself. Every race has funny quirks and I'm sick of people yelling racism everytime they get their feelings hurt.

Since Dateline (also an NBC show) had shown a story about the Chinese selling the organs of executed prisoners the previous week, Seinfeld probably thought the topic was relevant again, and not a dig at China.

Paul, in the news today Kevorkian is saying they will harvest organs. Now, did he get the idea from China, or is he just a Seinfeld fan?? <g>
