CitizenVectron Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 NYT responds: The New York Times speaks out on claims its crossword resembles swastika WWW.NEWSWEEK.COM "This is a common crossword design," a spokesperson for the newspaper said in a statement. It may be a common design...(or not), but come on, think about the optics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneticBlueprint Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I don't know if I would have noticed the swastika design if somebody didn't point it out to be honest. I do crosswords on my phone all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Yeah, it's very easy to see once you're primed to see it, but I didn't see the crossword before hearing about this so I can't give a clean take on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not as obvious to me as when I was watching Scrooged last night and had to take a picture of this guys forehead wrinkles to show my friend and confirm it isn’t just me..

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I honestly probably wouldn’t have noticed it had it not been pointed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could find a clip of it online but the whole Jews control the media line will never not bring to mind Jon Stewart on the Daily Show doing a segment about some white supremacist calling TV the Electric Jew. The punchline was him going "coincidentally that was my breakdance name in High School" and it had one of the greatest bad photoshops they ever had on there. It was some old pic of Stewart with an absolutely ridiculous Grandmaster Flash looking studded-out yarmulke and huge shades or something. I almost pissed myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I definitely see it... don't know if I would have if it wasn't pointed out but I saw it immediately when I clicked on this topic. All I'll say is this, it is PERFECTLY possible that some "wise guy" on the staff did this deliberately. "Clever guys" do shit like this all the time thinking they will never be caught... the most famous example I can remember was those old Little Mermaid VHS' that had penises drawn in the background. Tens of thousands of those were printed up and distributed before they were caught. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty sneaky but obviously a penis when you really took notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
