No, he's a clown with two victims: The one on the screen and the one in the audience who doesn't realize he's a clown.<p>I'm too drunk right now to research it, but in the article talking about the "jew down the well" (a title that escaped me) the wife of the bar's owner was revealed as Jewish and even she got the joke.
