One of you (one of my MySpace Friends) had a short film on your profile about a Jewish girl who was dating a guy because she thought he was not Jewish, only to break up with him when she found out he was. Was it you? If it was, or if you know how I could track down the people who made the film, please contact me. Thanks, Mark
