    Oh, he has a "secret counter":

    function swapUnit(){secretCounter+=1;if(secretCounter===16){slapsfxfish.play();resetGame();}
    

    In plain English, if you change the unit from metric to imperial 16 times, you get the fish slap!

      Oscars producer explains why Will Smith was not removed. Because Chris Rock did not want to escalate.

            The best comment I've heard about this is from Jim Carrey of all people. Something about how he was most disgusted by the audience and its reaction. Hollywood's vacuous pseudo virtuous group think laid bare, as they simply lacked the personal instincts, en masse, to react appropriately to the situation. They could only clap like primates, because all the other high status primates around them were clapping. Those people wouldn't know virtue if it Rock slapped them across the face.

                What's great about this clip is that it uses a rarely-used part of the movie.

                Kudos.

                  I've never seen that movie, and have never in fact made it through an entire Hitler-reacts parody clip. For some reason, they need to be over a minute each. Can't Hitler react quicker?

                    And yet you struggle your way through those interminable podcasts!

                    Whatever you think of the parodies, the movie is very good.

                      It is. Ganz (RIP) and the rest of the cast are remarkable.

                        After reading quite a bit about what Hitler was like as a person, I felt as though Ganz captured his personality really well - there's this dreadful assumption of his own genius, and a total obliviousness of what a creepy bore he could be as he talked on and on about something or other.

                        And then of course there's the tantrum scene.

                          Smith resigns.

                          Smith resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, days after he smacked comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars.

                          In a statement issued Friday, Smith said he would “accept any further consequences the Board deems appropriate.”

                          Smith had previously apologized to the academy and to Rock. Minutes after he slapped Rock on Sunday night, Smith won the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in “King Richard.”

                          “Love will make you do crazy things,” he said in his acceptance speech, one of several apparent references to his attack on the comedian. Rock had made a joke about the close-cropped hair of Jada Pinkett Smith, Smith’s wife, who has alopecia, a skin condition that can result in hair loss.

                          On Wednesday, the organization behind the Oscars said its board of governors have initiated a disciplinary proceeding against Smith for violating the group’s standards of conduct. During the board’s next meeting on April 18, it said it would decide what action it will take, if any, including suspension or expulsion.

                              Good question.

                              Offhand, I'd guess he's not eligible for any award in the future, and can't attend the annual circle jerk award ceremony.

                                I think it just means he can't vote on the awards. Maybe doesn't get screeners of movies for consideration. Also won't be allowed to assault presenters with impunity.

                                Education is extremely important.

                                          All of SAG gets the screeners. Basically the producers send them to all to generate buzz.

                                          Remember CJQ? He would get them.

                                          Only non-witches get due process.
