Greta Gerwig says she got the joke when Jo Koy told the Golden Globes audience on Sunday that Oppenheimer was based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning book but Barbieis about “a plastic doll with big boobies.”
The writer-director addressed the quip he delivered during his first Globes hosting gig while appearing on BBC Radio 4 Today. The joke has been criticized by some for being reductive or sexist, but Gerwig offered host Martha Kearney a different take on Koy’s joke.
“Well, he’s not wrong. She’s the first doll that was mass-produced with breasts, so he was right on,” she said. “And you know, I think that so much of the project of the movie was unlikely because it is about a plastic doll.”
Postscirculating online claim “an image of a cement truck” has been declared an antisemitic hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). This is false.
The claim appears to have come from a screenshot supposedly showing the ADL’s website where a “Cement Truck” is listed under “General Hate Symbols”. The ADL is an organisation with headquarters in the US campaigning against antisemitism, hate and extremism.
In the screenshot, there is an illustrated image of a cement truck with text below saying: “The image of a cement truck is an antisemitic symbol used by white supremacists to imply that Jews dig tunnels to be used for child trafficking. This comes after a tunnel was discovered under a New York synagogue.”
