I know Will Smith was sticking up for his wife, but he actually slaps him? Why wasn’t he thrown out? And then was allowed to collect an Oscar?
Yes he shouldn't have done it, but making a joke about his wife who suffers from alopecia is bang out of order.
Hot take, I know, but I'm pro-slapping on this one. I'm anti-violence in general, but maybe giving Chris Rock a smack in front of a worldwide audience will make people think twice about jokes that are in such poor taste (and just outright not funny). It's not so much about Jada Pinkett Smith as it is all the other people who suffer from diseases that affect their appearance and have to go through every day as the target of this sort of ****. This is Hollywood we're talking about; there's no end of much better jokes to make that don't expose a lot of other people to collateral damage.
This. Making jokes at people's appearances is cruel and can lead to tragic consequences. He deserved a slap.
I think I can hear the collective sound of the Oscar producers ****ing themselves into a coma all the way from this side of the Atlantic.
Chris Rock has always been an annoying twat, and anyone who thinks it's okay to laugh at people with alopecia, and make fun of them in front of an international TV audience, needs more than just one slap. Fair play to Will Smith. Mums all over the world should show their children the footage, and explain why he did it. Shame the ignorant bully (Rock), and hopefully their kids will realise who it is that they should aspire to be like.
I don't know if you want me to provide a specific answer, thus spoiling things for everyone else, but what I will say is that the 'horses' are not as solid as they appear.
Two Swedes, Sven & Ole, walk into a pet shop. They head to the bird section and Sven says to Ole, "Dat's dem." The owner comes over and asks if he can help them. "Yah sure, ve'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere," says Sven. The owner puts the budgies in a paper bag.. Ole and Sven pay for the birds, leave the shop, get into Sven's pick-up and drive to the top of some big cliffs. At the cliffs, Sven looks down at the 1000 foot drop and says, "Dis looks like a grand place." He takes two birds out of the bag, puts them on his shoulders and jumps off the cliff. Ole watches as Sven falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself dead. Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Ole shakes his head and says: "By yumpin' yiminy, dis budgie yumping is too dangerous for me." VAIT!!! Dere's MORE! Moments later Knute arrives up at the cliffs. He's been to the pet shop, too, and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another paper bag in one hand and a shotgun in the other. "Hey, Ole. Vatch dis." Knute says.. He takes a parrot from the bag and throws himself over the edge of the cliff. Ole watches as half way down, Knute takes the gun and shoots the parrot. Knute continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body. Ole shakes his head and says, "And I'm never trying dat parrotshooting either." BUT VAIT!!! Dere's MORE, you betcha!! Ole is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Lars appears. He's also been to the pet shop and is carrying a paper bag, out of which he pulls a chicken. Lars grasps the chicken by the legs, holds it over his head, hurls himself off the cliff and disappears down and down until he hits a rock and breaks his spine. Once more Ole shakes his head. "First der was Sven with his budgie yumping, den Knute parrotshooting ..and now Lars, hengliding ......"
