You've never been pushed too far, have you? How fortunate.

It was a freaking joke.  Violence was absolutely NOT the right response.  Jada's stink eye reaction was the right one.  Or, you know, not laughing at it if he didn't find it funny.  Which, btw, he DID laugh at it.

I value my freedom. You know what I also value? Other people's rights and health.  I am not the most altruistic person, but I can get over myself long enough to contribute the barest minimum to a fuck

Making bad jokes isn't illegal.  Physically assaulting somebody is illegal.  That's why one person is banned and the other isn't.

As a woman, I'm so glad I'm not famous. I hate the idea of maintaining a size 2 or 4, wearing high heels everywhere (even to Starbucks), and trying to look 15 years younger than I am for the rest of m

If Chris Rock's joke was so provoking, maybe Will Smith shouldn't have laughed at it first.

Hitting someone onstage during an awards show because you (or in this case, your wife) didn't like a joke is never excusable.

Plus, to me, it would have been more understandable (still not right) if he had been standing right next to Chris when he decided to punch him.  But, he had a few second to cool off as he walked up to the stage.

Amy Schumer claims she was traumatised by Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, then goes and makes a Rust shooting joke? What the fuck is wrong with her? Joking about a person's death is a thousand times worse than one little slap.

A person who was included in the In Memorium segment, no less.  What an asshole.

Well, she had to, in order to counter the toxic masculinity.  Apparently.

“’Don’t Look Up’ is the name of a movie? More like don’t look down the barrel of Alec Baldwin’s shotgun,” Schumer said. “I wasn’t allowed to say any of that [at the Oscars], but you can just come up and [slap] someone.”

It's not even a good joke. It's terribly constructed. What is it with comedians wanting to tell terrible jokes at the Oscars?

Sigh. There is just so much wrong with all of this on every level,.

A- Why the hell would she even think to go there?

B - So pointed jokes about a person's toxic behavior-- such as sexual misconduct and misinformation about public health - were not ok but a joke about a woman's physical appearance was?

C- But she was so sick to her stomach and traumatized about  witnessing one guy slap another guy, but she thought it was knee slapper to joke about a woman's death?

Wow.  Just... wow.

I have such mixed feelings when someone I irrationally disliked proves me gut instincts right. I think maybe I was better off just knowing her as that annoying chick on commercials.

Rapper Goonew's Corpse Propped Up, 'Standing' At Funeral In Nightclub

Quote

The 24-year-old's funeral, named The Final Show, was held at Bliss Nightclub in Washington D.C. Sunday, and footage from inside the building appears to show the rapper's embalmed corpse overlooking the crowd, fully dressed up and wearing a crown.

I honestly don't understand that kind of knee-jerk reaction. We all have choices. 

You'll understand when you finally blow your top. Anyway, I doubt Will Smith was actually thinking in that moment. It was pure emotion. Probably came as a surprise to him as much as everyone else. And I still feel he was justified.

Seriously. And tend to roll my eyes at anyone saying they were “traumatized” by The Slap. I can think of a million different traumatizing things that have happened (and are still happening) in the past months, including the Rust shooting. The Oscar slap, bad as it was, ain’t one of them.

The people who were on the set of the Rust and Crow shootings were traumatized. 

All the actors & actresses having to deal w/the likes Harvey, Kevin, Matt, Bill, etc were traumatized. 

The people on the Twighlight Zone movie were horrifically traumatized. 

If a slap on your worldwide live TV event makes you traumatized,  you're in the wrong business.

I doubt it was surprise to Will Smith considering he stood up, walked up on the stage and slapped Chris Rock.  And looked calm the whole time.

Hitting someone over words is not OK.

And since Will has since apologized I (hope) think he agrees with you.

I've definitely heard that joke for at least a couple of years. 

Yeah, any awards show that Leo attends they make some sort of joke about the women he dates. They used to make them about George Clooney as well, before he got married.

I remember a Golden Globes years ago that Tina and Amy hosted. It was the year Gravity was nominated. They had a pretty good joke about how George Clooney would rather float away and die in space than spend another minute with a woman his own age.

Sigh, thanks for giving me another reason not to bother with watching the Oscars, Amy.

I never cared much for her, but I have this automatic reaction to defend people of certain groups, plus-size women being one of them. So I tend to defend some dumb things she (or Rebel Wilson) says, but I have to give myself a resolution to try to move on from that logic and just consider the comment itself, regardless of who says it. Wish me luck, guys!

Is Amy Schumer plus-sized?  She looks pretty "average" sized to me, for lack of a better word.

I was surprised to learn that plus sized while technically anything up from either a 16 or 18 can also, depending on the store, also mean size 12 and  14.   Add that to Amy Schumer being in the field of entertainment and she probably is plus sized. where if you aren't thin they  put you on a diet!

I recently read that Schumer says she weighs 170 pounds.  This was after after her recent plastic surgery on her body, which she announced she is happy with.

Pretty sure the dogs didn't mistake it for anything other than a cat.

Yeah, that's a pretty bizarre, and unnecessary, claim.  Dogs aren't people who can't tell anything at all with the lights out.  They can smell who is who.   They're not going to mistake the sound of a person walking with a cat.  And it's not like the dogs told her they thought it was an intruder.  But, they're dogs and they killed a cat.  This isn't a crime that needs some big cover up.

I checked the Clark County marriage license bureau and there's no record of it. All licenses are public, which is how Britney's marriage got out almost instantly. Unless there's a delay in uploading now. Or they just went through a ceremony without having an actual license, which makes it not legally a marriage.

Reading that, I'm astonished she tried for a second baby. Her pregnancy was one of the roughest I've seen. Her documentary on HBO, Expecting Amy, is worth watching.

I wonder if you have to be sober to get the marriage license issued. ( I’ve never been to Vegas.  Not even for Donny and Marie.  Lol)

I thought I read many years ago that Vegas stopped issuing licenses between the hours of midnight - 6:00 am in an effort to curb the drunken impromptu weddings. However, in Vegas, one can easily be drunk at any hour of the day...

You have to at least appear sober. You can only get a marriage license at the courthouse and being obviously drunk there is probably not a good idea.
