Hogan Knows Best... About the Exile and Keeping Kosher
It seems like everyone has their own reality TV show these days.
Even... Hulk Hogan.
Believe it or not, but VH1 has started a reality series about everyone's favorite professional wrestler, Hulk Hogan, entitled, Hogan Knows Best, featuring the exploits of Hulk Hogan and his family. The show has even devoted a number of episodes to Hulk Hogan (and family) learning about what it means to keep Kosher.
While the episodes are quite funny, I really don't know which is sadder - Hogan's attempts at keeping Kosher - or the many observant Jews who seem to be so at home in the Exile known as Miami Beach, enjoying their chance to be Hulkamaniacs (kind of like the Jews who had such a great time at Achashveirosh's party - of Purim fame - celebrating the end of Am Yisra'el, content to live merely as Persians of the Mosaic persuasion.)
Check it out for yourself here.
Each episode is about two minutes in length. If you can't watch them all, I recommend episodes 3 - 6, and 8.
WARNING: There are some immodestly dressed women in these episodes (namely, Hogan's wife and daughter.)

This is so embarrasing. The jews look horrible in these clips. Hogan as annoyed too at the end. The "rabbi hug" was such a chilul hashem. We in Judaism have our own extremist problem. Light unto the nations? More like wierdos unto the nations...

Well, what would you expect a Rabbi to do? Should the Jewish families that attended accepted the invitation at all? If the Rabbi's accepted the invitation and they knew there were other members of their community that were going to be attending, then they should have had the decency to sit down with Mr. Hogan and let him know what to expect and how to handle the situation. Hey, they could have offered to act as a mosgiach for the purpose of the party. I just believe that there were ways around the obvious friction. In a way you can say that the Rabbi's, through their inaction, embarrassed their neighbors.
