Oi Vey
Here's another good example of the clash of Judaism with modern culture.
It's a webcomic about a rabbi talking to a Jewish robot called "ShaBot 600". Most of the jokes are puns, and puns that require a basic knowledge of Judaism, too.

Yeah, they're all pretty much like that. And so far, there are 174 of them.
WHICH IS TERRIFYING.

And While We're Talking About Things That Are Borderline Offensive...
Here
is a link that discusses the use of caffeine suppositories during Yom Kippur, which involves a 25-hour fast. Apparently, a suppository does not break the fast, but will still keep you energized and alert during your prayer.
...
What.
This seems like a pretty solid example of what happens when ancient religion clashes with modern-day standards and technology. As the article states, "These guys love a good loophole."
EDIT:
Oh my goodness, it's everywhere.

Yamulcops!
Stumbled across this interesting little tidbit the other day. For those of you too lazy to click the link, the Mayor of Amsterdam is considering using "Decoy Jews" (or policemen posing as Jews) to draw out potentially anti-semetic offenders. There has evidently been some anti-Jewish violence recently, and this was one of the techniques that might be used to approach it.
And yes, that's a picture taken from "The Hebrew Hammer" as a thumbnail for the article.
I'm glad that Amsterdam is taking anti-Semitic violence seriously, but does this seem borderline offensive to anyone else?
