Outside of Ron Perlman and the IDF, Jews aren't generally known for kicking ass. But as Buffy Summers, Sarah Michelle Gellar thoroughly staked the weak Jew - and weak woman - paradigm by kicking demon tuchus all over Sunnydale. Sure, her character wasn't of the tribe, but a Jewish guy can fantasize, right? Buffy killed with crosses, but Sarah can come home to a menorah - or at least she could if she drops her "I don't belong to an organized religion" act and embraces the cream-cheesey Jewish soul inside. It would probably help her career; after a promising (and awesome) early period with Cruel Intentions, she's been floundering in the Asian horror remake shallow end, a trend that continues with Push, an upcoming remake of the South Korean Possession. And speaking of cream cheese, we also think it would help if she ate something. What would her mother say?!
