    The response was way over the top for the joke. Will was laughing at first until he gauged Jada's eye roll and then he began to get outraged. There's no way someone up for an Oscar would embarrass themselves like that and double down shouting profanity. Getting his Oscar finally is always going to be an embarrassing memory for him and his family.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Ok so I'm trying to see if I got it all straight:
    -Oscars are woke, and woke is bad so nobody likes Oscars anymore and ratings are bad
    -woke is bad and everybody hates woke, therefore the woke Oscars are desperate
    -they staged this slap to help reverse the spiraling ratings, even though that makes absolutely zero fucking sense since the Oscars have happened already and ratings can't be affected. Like, wouldn't it have made more sense to have Smith slap Rock a week ago, and then spend the week hyping up the fact that they'll both be there so the ratings would be better? Also, slapping people in the face isn't very woke, so doesn't that run contrary to previous assertions of wokeness, which we've been told is both why the Oscars exist and also why the ratings are bad? If they are going to sacrifice being woke for ratings, why not just stop being woke - outlaw all wokeness - and watch the ratings once again rise to unwoke 1974 levels?
    -the slap conspiracy won't matter anyway because the Oscars are woke and nobody will ever watch them again regardless of these stunts. Also, people are way too smart these days to fall for such bush league publicity stunts - we may have reached the peak of human intelligence in 2022!!
    -woke is bad
    -if Will Smith were white and/or Alec Baldwin, people would be calling him racist
    -the government hides UFOs, perhaps using both wokeness and the Oscars as cover
    Did I get that all right? It's kind of hard to get it all straight since it's all so goddamn dumb.

    Don't forget add the random picture of a dead alligator....

    Quoted from Pickle:

    So why does Chris Rock get a pass on all this….you guys are not WOKE as you say…what he said was insensitive and not the right place for that kind of a joke. In this day and age people take bullying and shaming seriously and that joke was just exactly that. Go make that kind of joke about a co-worker in a meeting for others to hear and see how quick you are called to HR.
    All this shit about free speech is fine but there is a time and place….if he is doing his show and that’s the kind of jokes you expect to hear then it’s appropriate in that setting.

    The joke was completely fine. Will Smith even chuckled at first until she did the eye roll. She posted on Instagram about a week ago that she is ok with with her condition/shaving her head and doesn't care what other people say.
