Will Smith just threw a $50m punch

In other words his slap was like saying, I hate this ceremony and I'm going home.

He'll have an excuse to stay home even if he is nominated.

Sounds like most of the viewing public. I honestly had no idea they were scheduled or even on until 'the slap that was heard around the world'. Might give them a ratings bump next year but it won't stop the circling of the drain.

Here's an imperfect but IMO interesting analogy:

I'm sure there are plenty of slaps in bars and nightclubs across America every week that don't get prosecuted. You know...a guy comes on to or insults another guy's lady. The boyfriend/fiance/husband slaps the offender and offers some choice words to him, and the jerk gets the message and backs off. No one gets arrested, in spite of all the witnesses.

My point is that even though the bar slap was technically assault because it wasn't done in self-defense or in physical defense of the woman, you wouldn't expect the slapper to be arrested for it.

Bill Maher's take on it. Caution; cuss words.

Bill Maher is clueless about so many things, and he always sounds so arrogant. Like his opinion is the only right one.

I don't agree with his defense of comedians in general. Or anyone else who thinks that comedians have to be accepted for whatever they say.

He needs to grow up.

The thing about comedians/humour/opinion, is that you can always not watch them.

True.

Unless of course you are expected to attend an event and they suddenly appear.

Some people just can't take a joke.

Sad way to go through life.

The problem today is that there are people that feel the need to be 'offended on someone else's behalf'.

Blazing Saddles and other Mel Brooks movies would have a lot of difficulty being funded these days.

All in the Family, Sanford and Son too.

Chris Rock makes subtle joke about slap controversy during California show, says he'll talk when he's 'paid'

Mocking a medical condition is never funny. Prove me wrong.

That being said, Will's ban should be permanent. What an unhinged fool. Made Kanye/Swift look like Carebears.

 

[ElectroVibe]

I thought it was nice that his daughter appeared with the musical guest on SNL last night, after the way they trashed him the previous week.

 

[ElectroVibe]

Comedians don't seem to realize how bitter they appear to people outside their dimwitted fan base.

Will would totally agree with you there.

 

[ElectroVibe]

Will would totally agree with you there.

Thanks for providing proof that Will Smith grew in maturity, unlike some people.
