    this my friend is the 21st century. soft. no more being offensive, whether a joke, a box of aunt jemima pankcake mix or a statue from history past. that's just to name a few.

     

    I am grateful that I was able to live in a time where richard pryor could stand up on stage and bring the house down with what today, would be, well, offensive.

     

     

    sad times these are, for sure.

    comedy has always served to push barriers of taste and decorum and I never want to see that end. I Think that if mr smith hadn't have reacted as he did not many would have even remembered that joke and in the moment taken it as it was given,  as a quip regarding head shaved women. I think she wears short hair for her own personal expression and style beyond it being a medical condition...she can clearly afford the very best of cosmetic and beauty care/medical advice.

     

    ..You know what would have been as powerful/controversial but Non violent? will getting up, take his wifes hand, and walk the heck outta there. The timing of his category being very soon would have prevented that I get it. But THAT expression, equally as powerful, maybe even more so actually........ZERO Violence. Jada reacted, her husband grinned, then he got up from his seat on a fools mission. jmo. Nobody is laughing now.

    Has Chris Rock made any statements post slap ? No one seems to be  asking how he is in the aftermath of this. I'm not surprised his comedy show tickets have increased in value. Comics will put their true thoughts and feelings on stage in their performance. this undoubtedly will be true of him . How could it not be.

    I think Will Smith should be fined by the academy and even suspended from professional  appearances. His legally crafted apologies don't impress me.

     

    Will Smith is human and made a huge mistake in judgment. He will be forgiven eventually but he needs a timeout in my opinion.  He doesn't swear in his raps but he surely did at the academy awards. His cred is in the toilet at this point.

     

    Chris Rock you handled that situation as well as anyone could have expected under the circumstances. Im reading that comics now will be fearful they tell a controversial joke they may face physical attack. That to me is really unfortunate and sad.

    A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and paperwork, and was burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic.

    He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could. As the practical exam approached, he prepared carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill. When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%.

    Fearing an error, he called the Instructor, saying, “I don’t want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an error in the grade?”

    “The instructor said, “During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark.”

    After a pause, the instructor added,

    “I gave you an extra 50% because you did it all through the exhaust pipe, which I’ve never seen done in my entire career”

    Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
    Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
    And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
    Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
    The kids are alright

    I've been working on the railroad

    All the livelong day

    I've been working on the railroad

    Just to pass the time away

    Can't you hear the whistle blowing

    Rise up so early in the morn

    Can't you hear the captain shouting

    Dinah, blow your horn

    I come home in the morning light
    My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right?"
    Oh, mamma, dear, we're not the fortunate ones
    And girls—they wanna have fun
    Oh, girls just wanna have fun

    I woke up in a Soho doorway
    A policeman knew my name
    He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight
    If you can get up and walk away."

    I staggered back to the underground
    And the breeze blew back my hair
    I remember throwin' punches around
    And preachin' from my chair

    Well, who are you?
    (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
    I really wanna know
    (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

    It didn't derail anything.  Everything about this screams fake.  So much to gain for so many people.

     

    People who believe this crap is real are the same people who actually believe Stevie Wonder is blind.

     

    Boggles my mind.

    senor gugny I respectfully disagree and I'll tell you why. There is evidence of previous shade being thrown by CR at Jada at a previous academy awards ceremony. I honestly don't think CR said that joke expecting any overt reaction more than a few snickers and under breath laughter then moving on to the next gag. Alopecia is a medical term many men experience, isn't that the condition that causes baldness? Maybe not Im not sure. But noone would ever make a bald head reference against a man. But Jada is female with a shaved head look which is rare.....a physical gag joke it was, her haircut is similar to a male marine for example..........I honestly dont think either of them are at a place in their career where they even NEED such a debacle for profit or gain.

    Down on the boulevard they take it hard
    They look at life with such disregard
    They say it can't be won
    The way the game is run
    But if you choose to stay
    You end up playing anyway
    It's okay...

    oh my goodness what a debacle. I think Will Smith lost his mind and reacted in a way he has/will live to  regret. Not due to he slapping Chris Rock, but the memes and carryover will be overshadowing of alll the iconic work he possesses on his resume. THIS will be a leading fact on his resume for the rest of his career I really think so. I mean just for the visibiity factor alone...The Academy Awards fcol? Janet Jackson anyone?....her snafu will never be forgotten either same reasons (super bowl)

     

    as regarding Jada her eyeroll would have been enough news/gossip on her part forget her husbands reaction. Very rarely do you see a "real" negative reaction from a  star. When men pop off in violence even if no charges are ever filed (they are reporting CR won't be filing any) it isn't going to end well. ...Will.......dude.....T H I N K  man I mean yeah it was a joke.  There are tons of physical conditions where low blows in the past were allowed and now are not acceptable in society (fat jokes, sexual gender jokes, etc.)   .Is anyone shocked this did happen?  I am frankly. Who would have thought anyone would react walking up to an academy awards presenter, slapping/punching whatever and the heckling from the aggressor...WTAF did I just see? *******

    You really think this is going to derail Will Smith's career?  Common man.  

     

    This is a golden opportunity for Chris Rock, Will Smith and his wife.

    I don't think derail...more than anything in my opinion embarrass.......Will will be fine, his wife too, Chris Rock too...But it's a stain.

    Well, I started out down a dirty road
    Started out all alone
    And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
    And the town lit up, the world got still

    I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
    Coming down is the hardest thing

    Long time friends Sylvia & Wanda meet up in Heaven!

    SYLVIA: Hi! Wanda.

    WANDA: Hi! Sylvia. How'd you die?...

    SYLVIA: I froze to death.

    WANDA: How horrible!

    SYLVIA: It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm & sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?

    WANDA: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.

    SYLVIA: So, what happened?

    WANDA: I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.

    SYLVIA: Too bad you didn't look in the freezer -- we'd both still be alive.

    Well, there's something in the way she moves
    Looks my way, or calls my name
    That seems to leave this troubled world behind
    And if I'm feeling down and blue
    Or troubled by some foolish game
    She always seems to make me change my mind

    I feel fine anytime she's around me now
    She's around me now
    Almost all the time
    If I'm well you can tell that she's been with me now
    She's been with me now quite a long, long time
    And I feel fine

    When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
    And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
    Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

    Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
