Nah, he's right. But the German kid pretending to read is good just for this reason. He acts for the camera but then he does the dad's stupid laugh because it's the dad's stupid laugh.

Similarly, it reminds me of a story where I hug something.

I can't imagine even David Anthony believed himself as he lumped Charlie Fell in with Nazis and homophobes. I only had to click on the links to find Fell's a right-on jewish guy who questions gender boundaries.
Sloppy work.
