New Jersey Teens In Hot Water For Playing Holocaust Pong
NYDN – New Jersey teens played a Holocaust drinking game then proudly displayed their sick game of Jews versus Nazis on social media. Princeton High School students appeared in a Snapchat photo pouring beer into cups arranged in a Star of David and a swastika on a ping-pong table, according to Princeton junior Jamaica Ponder. She exposed the game called “Holocaust pong” or “alcoholocaust” on her personal blog. “Well, perhaps it is a joke,” Ponder, 17, wrote. “But then I guess the punchline would be: genocide. Pardon me if I don’t find that to be hilarious. The real joke here is that these kids weren’t only insensitive enough to play the game, but also silly enough to post it on Snapchat and leave it there long enough for me, and several others, to take a screenshot.” She continued, “Putting the picture on social media means that someone was proud enough of the game to want to show it off. Meaning that they must be trapped in the delusional mindset that making a drinking game based off of the Holocaust is cool. Or funny. Or anything besides insane. Because that’s what this is: insanity.” Ponder told NJ.com she was disgusted when she saw the photo of her classmates, several of whom are actually Jewish, playing the game. She declined to state the names of anyone involved, though she did notify officials with Princeton Public Schools before publishing her blog Wednesday. “As an individual and as the superintendent of the Princeton Public Schools, I am deeply upset that some of our students chose to engage in a drinking game with clearly anti-Semitic overtones and to broadcast their behavior over social media,” Superintendent Steve Cochrane said in a statement to NJ.com.
Anybody who thinks these kids are White Supremacist Nazis or something is an idiot. They’re a bunch of dopes playing beer pong and thats it. Its Nazis vs Jews the same way you’d say Cowboys vs Indians. WWF vs WCW. The Empire vs the Federation. Those kids arent thinking about Hitler slaughtering people. They’re thinking about different shapes to put their cups in and names for their beer pong teams. Thats it. I mean, shit, some of them were Jews. They play on the Star of David side and get to fight the Nazis. Its like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. No big deal.
But that being said kids gotta realize that Swastikas are on the No Fly List. Right next to Blackface. Just cant do anything Swastika related, and your certainly cant take any pictures with them. Lesson learned. Class dismissed.
