The Oscars

[Jaded]

That’s easy for a short bloke.

I look mighty fine in heels though.

So, Mr Smith is out for 10 years.
I don't honestly give much of a shit about the celeb scene, and I don't condone violence (even though it looked staged).
But if Chris Rock had made a joke about Bruce Willis having dementia (or whatever the cause of his aphasia turns out to be), would that have been acceptable?

[Jaded]

It would have been fine. There's been shit before, at awards ceremonies. One of the biggest shits was Ricky Gervais.

Just don't hit people, it's bad. M'kay.

[De Sisti]

The whole slap thing was staged. Look at Smith's hand; no space between his fingers. If you're
going to slap someone there'll be a gap between your fingers. If someone is going to hit/slap you
in the face, you don't just stand there with your arms behind your back. A natural instinct is to
protect your head.

Rock made jibes at Smith's wife. Smith comes up on stage to confront him. If the whole stunt was
indeed genuine, then surely Rock would have been expecting something untoward.



* I think Chris Rock is a funny stand-up comedian.
