2. Sex is good for the Jews! put up the posters!
(05.20.08)
3. To #1
Led   (05.20.08)
Well in a democracy any company can refuse to print billboards for whatever purposes the company considers. this is not government action. So yes Israel is a democracy and you are an ignorant.
4. Stupid
Adam Segal ,   Raanana, Israel   (05.20.08)
In the same way that I protest the gay parade in the holy city, I feel that a risque poster would not be appropriate but honestly, the word "sex" is harmless. The religious jews need to understand that sex is as much a part of us as eating, sleeping and breathing and they need to EDUCATE their children instead of hiding it from them which leads to domestic abuse and dysfunctional people and families.
5. Thank G-d Someone Is Standing Up Against This Dreck

6. #1 sir, these are the actions of a democratic state
izzy d   (05.20.08)
7. Sex and the City
Fred ,   Geneva Switzerland   (05.20.08)
This move is puzzling... Maybe if there was more sex, there would be less of a perceived demographic "problem" in your country.
8. Looks like Haredi are very afraid of sex.
Uriel ,   IL   (05.20.08)
9. SEX, SEX, SEX ,SEX
Moshico ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (05.20.08)
Here we go again, one of my best programs and they want to change the title and I suppose they will win as always. So lets call it "X" in the city or S** in the city. You can't have kids without SEX. PS I'm religious too
10. Stupid show anyhow
Jay3 ,   Israel   (05.20.08)
This show teaches the wong values to young women. Who wants to watch a comedy about a pack of insecure sharmutahs anyhow?
11. Led , the printers printed !
bar ,   Israel   (05.20.08)
But some city [ir]"responsibles" wants the billboard company not to use this word .
12. bridge
Ariel ,   Jerusalem   (05.20.08)
Jerusalemites don't like bare words. They prefer symbolism, like the new bridge ;)
13. Israel is a provincial backwater
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (05.20.08)
Why anyone would want to show any movies in that intellectual desert is a mystery. Israel society is racist, small- minded and ignorant. The enlightenment never got through to it.
14. #13
Eli ,   Brooklyn   (05.20.08)
most of the technology your dumb *ss used to write that stupid comment came out of Israel keep eating Hallal, i see its done wonders for your brain cells
15. In Capital of Europe's Caliphate comes The Chanalau Phenomen
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (05.20.08)
From the capital of Europe's Caliphate here comes The Chanalau Phenomenon to teach us moral values when this disgrace is forced to wear a birqa/hijab/niqab wherever she wanders on the streets of Londonistan and young girls are forced to undergo the "advanced medical procedure" of Female Genital Mutilation.
16. Sex...
Matan ,   Tel Aviv   (05.20.08)
...is one of the most frequently talked about things in the Tanakh (and have you read Song of Songs recently? Solomon was the man!). Incest, Sex, Rape, Love, Hate, Who you will be allowed to fornicate with, who you can't, and how, and in what hole, and when and where and at what time...as soon as kids enter Yeshiva they're bombarded with it.
17. To all those who want to be goyim..Go out of Israel
Al   (05.20.08)
and take your dreck with you...Better yet take along your old parents with you as well.. Israel is the LAND of Israel...Its holy land and should be respected as such...Its G-d's land.... If you dont respect it, G-d will throw you out of it... Its that simple.
18. #15 EXCELLENT!!!
Enzo ,   london,uk   (05.20.08)
19. #17 Al-adin?
Genie   (05.20.08)
I'm assuming by saying drecks who behave like goyim, you're refering to the lunatics who wish to bar the word sex. Afterall, sex is not a concept abnormal to Judaism or frowned upon. Please read poster #16. Abstaining from sex and the concept (ie. writing the word SEX) is actually a rather Christian (old school at least) concept.
20. When they came for 'Sex in The City' I didn't speak up b/c I
David P. ,   Santa Cruz, USA   (05.20.08)
wasn't an avid watcher of the program. When they came for the 'basar llavan' (pork) I didn't speak up, b/c I didn't eat pork that often. When they came for the converts (last week), I didn't speak up, b/c I wasn't a convert. When they came for me, I was in diaspora, watching cable, eating bacon & converting my future wife following the same requirements illustrated in the Torah.
21. Dosim and the city- enough!!!
someone   (05.20.08)
fanatic people
22. I have a confession to make...
Enzo ,   london,uk   (05.21.08)
I love Sara Jessica Parker!!!
23. Speak no ill of tasty Kim Cattrall
Cameron ,   USA   (05.21.08)
24. The movie's subject matter is immoral.
Shmuel ,   Miami USA   (05.21.08)
The TV and movie's subject matter promotes unrestricted sexual activity with innumerable sexual partners, practiced by a clique of confused young women. Over that is laid a facade of intellectualism intending to supply a cause and effect relationship between each sexual encounter and the audience. This is incidious propaganda and should not be accepted by educated Israelis. It should instead be labeled as acceptable for immoral audiences and advertised as such. Don't agree? Then you've not learned anything .
25. Smuel , # 24
bar ,   Israel   (05.21.08)
It's immoral ? how do you know ? Certainly , as a hypocrite you have watched this movie . We are not talking about the movie , it's the word "sex" that has "offended" . Thanks to this all , this movie has certainly received a free promotion action .
26. sex
simone ,   toronto, canada   (05.22.08)

27. # 13
Arielush ,   Ramat Ha Golan   (05.29.08)
"and take your dreck with you...Better yet take along your old parents with you as well." You call yourself a Jew. Where is your respect for the elderly. If us secular Jews leave, who will defend the country, plant the fields, tend the animals? We can't expect people like you to do an honest day's work or serve in the army.
