I am all for being able to make jokes about anything, hell if people don't like the joke or the comedian, they can just not go see his shows.

For instance, I thought the joke was easy and cheap. It wasn't funny and it made fun of something she has no control over. I didn't find it very funny.

It didn't deserve an uproar or a female dog slap. The joke just sucked.

100% agreed. and it's ok to dislike a joke, or even find it hurtful, but to act like he did? tabarnak... talk about being disconnected from reality.

NHL GMs have officially been told by the league the salary cap is going up $1 million to $82.5 million for next season.

they are reviewing the incident they say, the academy could take away his oscar .
- Symba007

That's just as wrong... If it was based on a performance from that night, sure... If he knocked Chris down and kicked him unconscious, sure... He got mad and slapped a dude. Bar him from the Oscars for x years, a suspension going forward.

And Rock took it like a champ and kept going. He knows his reaction would affect the outcome. Now, he's got a tour coming, and fresh material that EVERYONE knows about.

C'mon...

i agree. i'm just saying the joke is even more innocuous when you realize that he thought she just shaved her head as a fashion statement and this would be a good laugh for everyone.
- kicksave856

yeah, I totally get what you're saying. I just find it silly that people are offended because it's due to alopecia, what difference does it really make... it doesn't make it an "untouchable" subject, imho.

who is that?


- Symba007

I've seen this numerous times before but I'm not sure, isn't it waterboy..?

Whoever it is, at least they took off the jersey before eating the wings from all of DP's brethren...

exactly. which is why I think comedians and people that actually have a sense of humor shouldn't let it slide and accumulate a bunch of topics we can't laugh about anymore just because the world is a giant (frank)ing snowflake.

He's been pretty quiet since the bittch slap
- Symba007

He has nothing to gain from it.

Ricky Gervais needs kickboxing lessons.
- Scabeh

I think they should put him in the police attack dog suit and let them at him. Ratings would be through the roof.

See, Rock should take this opportunity and turn it into a whole bit about Will Smith's wife, who he will never explicitly name, because that's all Smith asked him to do... Keep her name out of his mouth.

End of the show, he takes a piece of paper with her name on it, chews it, then spits it in the trash. A comedy legend is reborn.

there's a lot of ways he could address it for sure.

So KK got Ellered!

Yes it’s him. He’s been MIA lately, most likely locked in the same basement as Howard and Doubledown

That's a big pile of crap... the upside is you get to live until 85
