The headline provides context for how big the problem is, the first sentence of the article correctly identifies the origin of the problem. A lot more people have heard of Snapchat than Mapbox.

I don’t know if Jews should be dismayed to be linked to such a wretched hive of scum and villainy, or proud of being associated with such a vibrant center of art and culture.

Anyone else think Jewtropolis is a cool name? As a slur it seems to fail. If I were Jewish I might lead the charge to reclaim that one, somehow…
In any case, it has a better ring than Jesse Jackson’s attempt to rename New York.

These morons weren’t even clever enough to re-name it “Jew York City.” Oh, how standards have fallen for entitled losers in this country!

I agree, but I probably would have complained that they were unoriginal if they went with JYC. I guess I am not very fair and balanced when it comes to anti-semitic vandals.

Gotta give them props for an unintentional reference to the fathers of Superman, Seigel and Shuster.

If you’re going to vandalize, you might as well make it “deeply offensive”. Isn’t that kind of the point to juvenile pranks?
I know! Also acceptable: “New Jewsy”, “The Big Bagel” and my personal favorite, “Lesser Long Island”.

Of course the vandals will keep this up and turn OSM into another Wikipedia where eventually only edits from a small number of trusted moderators are allowed and everything else is reverted automatically and maybe only put back once a moderator takes a second look at it.
