It's a comedic look at racial identity. In the first episode the white (Jewish) host investigates his predilection for half-asian women and whether it is founded on a genetic predisposition, and subverts the Israeli and Palestinian sperm donation processes to secretly create a "Jelestinian". The preview for the next episode looks pretty controversial.
Looks like this series could be promising.

Thanks for sharing - I'm going to give it a look tomorrow morning, but seems very interesting :)

damn.. well i guess u could use foxyproxy to bypass the geoblock, though I know nothing about this stuff, so someone with haxing skillz will have to give instructions. Alternatively get the torrent.. it's only a 200mb download.

Just watched it... and it's bloody awesome! This show delivers!
I'm glad he was able to make his point in such a light-hearted manner, presenting "real case scenarios" and all. Some of his jokes were so grotesque as to become hysterically hilarious (like his underwear stealing frenzy), and I was stunned that he actually managed to come out with a very sane reasoning behind this "alternative" approach to the phenomenon.
It's about time someone took the piss at tribalists, as he called them, and showed that there's nothing remarkable about intercultural bonking :D

john safran is a real genius :)
his new show is great: copped lots of negative press for literally getting crucified in the philipines over easter.. think that's the season finale this time round :D
it's a podcast as well for those who can't watch it on the website.. might be able to get it thru itunes..?? :)
his john safran vs. god series of a few years ago was pure gold as well if anyone can get it :)

I just read about this series, and I'm planning to watch it this week :)

I watched it over the weekend. I've never sat down and made an effort to watch a Safran show, but I found this mildly amusing. The best bit was 'jewess'.
As Egos mentioned, a co-worker was just telling me that in the final episode he literally crucifies himself, putting nails through his hands and feet. That's a pretty ed up amount of dedication to a television show.
