Swedish magician disses Vegas

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on May 12th, 2007

According to The Local (“Sweden’s News in English”), Swedish magician Joe Labero gave an interview to a Swedish rail line’s magazine in which he complained about not being able to get his own room in Vegas. He said:

“I don’t mean to sound prejudiced of course, I’m just cynical. A blond Swedish Viking will have a hard time breaking through the hierarchies that control Vegas, where power rests in the hands of Jewish business syndicates, American dollar millionaires and homosexual booking agents.

“But I will get there, sooner of later,” Labero told the magazine.

The editor of the magazine, Gunnar Wesslen, said that they hesitated initially to publish the remarks, saying they would be “controversial and inappropriate in the context of a Swedish discussion.” However, after further deliberation (and some uniquely Swedish logic), they said:

“But we also raised it in the context of an American discussion, where it is not considered controversial to say that decisions in Hollywood are dominated by Jewish, homosexual and American interests.”

Exactly what is a “Swedish discussion” anyway?

The Jewish syndicators, American dollar millionaires and homosexual booking agents we contacted have all declined comment.
