Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars

This news couldn't have come at a better time. I'm in bed with covid and it was either going to be another day of staring at the screen reading about the world falling apart or, as it turns out, doing a frame by frame, Monday Night Football style analysis of an impossibly rich, emotionally unstable egomaniac slapping premium Chris Tucker because his wife was still annoyed about that joke he made about her attempting to boycott an award ceremony she wasn't invited to.

Where does my week go from here?
 
Chris Rock should have continued remaining calm, and joked that whilst he deserved an apology from Will Smith, but as the only way to get one would be to fuck his wife, he was happier to carry on without one.

Actors voluntarily go to an awards show where the host makes jokes about the audience.

This isn't bullying, he didn't accost them in the street, they decided to sit front row at a comedy gig knowing the host is paid to make fun of them.

If you can't take that, don't go. Don't sit in the front row.

This is the 3rd or 4th time Rock's done the show, so everyone knew what was coming. I just heard on the radio Pinkett-Smith has referred to her and Rock being friends in the past, so this isn't some random stranger coming up and abusing you, it's a friend telling a joke at your expense at a gig you came to knowing you'd get made fun of.

Will Smith spent 6 years making bald jokes in The Fresh Prince, it was their biggest and longest running gag. I imagine he's made a lot more hurtful jokes than Chris Rock's last night.

The right reaction is just to shake your head and show you felt it went too far, not laugh your head off initially and then assault someone when you realise your wife didn't like it and then say the devil made you do it later.

It really does seem like your week has peaked too early.

Spot on.

Controversial comic known for making edgy and offensive jokes makes edgy and offensive joke. If you can't take it, don't go to the ceremony.
