@Propagandist chill with the insults @SlyPokerCat both you and prop need to chill with the back and forth. Jada has a medical condition. Some see it as a disability. Some see it as not. Either way it was a tasteless joke by Chris Rock which we can agree on. Rock shouldn't have said the joke. Smith shouldn't have gotten violent. Let's agree to disagree and move on if you can't have a conversation. We don't need flame wars over this.
No they don’t do their routine in rehearsal a lot of times. I have worked a couple Oscars and Grammys. They don’t want people to hear their jokes.
What a crazy thing to say! Are you listening to yourself? Also, aren't you conflating things a wee bit? He made a joke. A JOKE!!! He didn't even mention her condition or anything of the sort. The literally bully in this scenario is the guy who played Muhammed Ali slapping 105lb, 57 year old Chris Rock for doing his job.
Saying mean things won’t get you thrown in jail. Hitting somebody will. Having means things said to you won’t fracture and eye socket, hitting somebody will. Having mean things said to you will leave an emotional mark or scar, getting punched in the jaw will as well.
It was a tasteless joke. It was a shameful response. Chris Rock has made jokes about Jada before. Jada didn't like it and Will Smith felt like he was given no choice but to respond publicly and decisively. Chris Rock responded incredibly well... Will Smith hurt his legacy...
Speaking of punching, I want to punch every one of those soccer moms that hold their phones wrong when they record anything.
Saying mean things can cause emotional damage to where kids commit suicide. Punching someone can make them realize.not.to do it again.
People in this thread make jokes... but HCP has a list and he's gonna slap every last one of you for the wife jokes when he gets a chance!
I will, but really? You removed my post because what? How about this: @SlyPokerCat's posts make me feel like I'm in an alternate reality where it's okay to be ironically idiotic...?
The conflating is so insulting to people with actual disabilities. Borderline slap-worthy by some people's metrics...
I saw him chuckle at the joke, and then saw the look on Jada's face....THEN reacted in a violent way. My gut reaction was that, perhaps, Will and Jada might have some personal, deeper issues going on, so (in light of his initial chuckles) he felt compelled to way overreact in that manner. Dunno.
I think you are taking this a bit far in my opinion. It might be how you were raised or who around? Did you read my post earlier about my bus rides to school? Talking shit about people was day to day life for us growing up. Some guys who weren’t part of the crew whould get mad, but quickly realized guys were all just messing around. I had an ex girlfriend my senior year of HS who took her own life about 4 months after we split, so I’m not numb to suicide. I understand it. I was trained as a military policeman. So I can kinda get a grip on all sides of this. Will Smith was in the wrong here 100%. Had Chris Rock confronted Jada in the parking lot and grabbed her arm…..BINGO. There’s the green light to get smacked. No excuse whatsoever for violence over words bro. Just my opinion.
Look, it's going nowhere. You have one opinion he has another. It's become a flame war. Yes, I deleted your post because you used a personal insult. Different posts elicit different feelings. That's ok. But, we can't use personal insults.
That's more for sharing on phones versus on a TV screen. Its kind of a pain deciding which way to shoot because if you want to do something on more formats versus something for instagram stories only
