Does Maxim have a Jewess problem?

Forget about The New York Times Magazine. Maxim this week released its list of the five "unsexiest women alive." See if you notice a pattern:

  • Sarah Jessica Parker (Jewess)
  • Amy Winehouse (Jewess)
  • Sandra Oh (plays Jewess on top-rated television drama)
  • Madonna (Kabbalist)
  • Britney Spears (ex-Kabbalist)

UPDATE: I've received some complaints from Maxim fans who say I've ignored the magazine's "Women of the IDF" tribute. Fine, so the question is whether the magazine has an American Jewess problem.
