SFist Interviews: John Ortved, Author of The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History
Joe Eskenazi at SF Weekly points out a bit of San Francisco Giants' promotional material gone horribly awry. It seems, while promoting African American Heritage Night (8/22), this is the best the Giants copywriting team could come up with: "The package includes more then just a $20 discounted Friday night ticket with proceeds going to a local community group charity - it also includes a seat in the African American section of the park as well as Giants PA Announcer Renel Brooks-Moon talking bobblehead." Oops. Eskenazi ends the item right-quick for fear of making any cruel racist jokes, effectively sidestepping snide remarks about next week's Zionist Hoodlum Night (8/25). (SFW)

Wow, Political Correctness gone horribly awry.
has Al Sharpton heard about this?
Ha- I got that e-mail from the Giants, too. Upon further inspection, they used better wording for Jewish Heritage Night:
"The Jewish Heritage Night package comes equipped with a seat in the heritage night section"
The jokes for this story just write themselves, so I'll refrain.
I wonder if this has anything to do with San Francisco becoming richer and whiter.
Oh man, what could they possibly do in place of bobble head dolls for the Jewish Heritage Night?
When is Marina Girl Heritage Night? I would like to place a ticket order.
