Academy Awards - Will Smith Edition

[Copper]

It was rehearsed for months.

The violence was fine, that is what men do, no big deal.

But there is no excuse for the vulgar language on television.

If a comedian makes a joke about my wife's illness, I'd be seeing red.

Wouldn't we all?

All of us except for Ted Cruz.

What a great opportunity this event presents to announce one's political tribe.

The left has bent over backwards to give black culture room for its macho male culture to grow unabated, resulting in Chicago and Baltimore murder numbers. It would be easy to blame that culture for this, but that would be ridiculous, since Will Smith is more of a pampered privileged princess than nearly anybody else in the world.

Jussie Smollett says Will Smith hit him too.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Academy Awards:

One of my engineers (a woman) was out shopping with her boyfriend a few years ago and two guys made comments about her. The boyfriend confronted them and they stabbed him. He died right there in the shopping mall. They went down for murder.

This stuff can get bad really quick.

Which is why you carry a gun. Avoid trouble, but always be prepared to make sure the judge only hears one story.

You heard about Chris Rock getting examined, after the Oscars?

They found fresh prints.

I take the rent out of Mrs Cruz’s ass. Ted doesn't mind.

[George K]

Only @bachophile will get this.

Maybe...

This was better.

Nobody seems interested in the thought experiment about Rock getting slapped by a white actor. What do you all think? Race narrative media tsunami, or no big deal, because celebrity trumps race? I think a white actor would have been canceled, but the sick wife angle is admittedly compelling for public support.

Here's Dr Todd Grande's take, similar to mine:

Good takes in this video. Acho (the guy on the right) is a compelling speaker.
