Steven Spielberg is too old and has been around the block too many times to be so sensitive. To fire someone so easily because of a silly (and harmless) commentary is ridiculous. Further, he should have been a man about it and done it himself, instead of using a go-between to do the dirty work.What he did and how he did it was cowardly.
Jews should lighten-up on the Hitler-Nazi issue. Certainly Megan Fox did not insinuate that Michael Bay was a ruthless assassin or anything of the kind. TGO

LOS ANGELES – Michael Bay says Steven Spielberg demanded he dismiss Megan Fox from the third “Transformers” film after she compared Bay to Hitler.
Bay tells GQ magazine in an article appearing in its July issue that Spielberg, who is an executive producer on the film, told the director to “fire her right now” after Fox made the Hitler remarks to a British magazine last year.
Fox told the magazine before production began on the third “Transformers” installment that Bay “wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is.”
The 25-year-old actress was replaced by Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” which opens next week.
Paramount confirmed Tuesday that Bay made the comments to GQ but did not elaborate.

I agree with you on the sensitivity thing. Of course, there’s no mention here of Bay’s own reaction to the remarks, so I must assume that he would have fought against the order if he wasn’t offended. Assuming, of course, that he didn’t have his own reasons for wanting Fox gone.
