Joe Biden Gets Lucky Again!

[filly]

Will Smith just ensured that nobody will be talking about Biden’s remarks on Putin.

For those who haven't seen it...

Will Smith has been called an entitled asshole for years. Props to Rock for carrying on with the show.

For completeness I'd like to see the joke that set Smith off, but it really does not matter.

[Chilidog]

he said that Jada was going to be in the next edition of GI Jane.

because 1) she was wearing an olive green dress
2) she has alopecia and is frankly bald.

So instead of a throwaway joke that would have been forgotten by most viewers by the end of the show, and all viewers within 24 hours, Will Smith has guaranteed that the joke now has a place in history along with his own inability to control himself. Good job.

[Suranis]

Thanks guys.

All in all, I'd rather watch the Razzies.

Right! It also does a disservice to the other Oscar winners as he shit all over their moments in the sun. It's just wrong on so many levels, including feeding into racist stereotypes about black folks being violent (I'm already seeing that on the local news cesspool comments).

Finally, I didn't think the movie was *that* good. We enjoyed it but I don't think it was a great opus and I didn't think his acting was that great either.

Damn. The Fresh Prince is no longer on my watch list..... What a dick.

And she still looks stunning. Just like Demi Moore when she shaved her head for GI Jane. Jada's husband insulted every woman who has hair loss or chooses to have very short hair.

[Lani]

Looks like I'm not the only person who had that thought.

Film director Judd Apatow wrote: “Seems like Will Smith’s plan to get comedians and the world to not make jokes about him is not going to pan out”.

“The Williams family must be furious.

“Pure narcissism. Also – GI Jane was gorgeous. What exactly is insulting about being compared to a ripped, stunning Demi?,” he wrote.

[Uninformed]

Looks like Chris Rock’s “joke” was the trigger but not the cause. Will be interesting(?) to see if the “backstory” comes out.

Half of what passes for my brain is asking why I’m commenting on this.

[Mr brolin]

Alas, this display will simply ebb and fade over the next few weeks, hell, remember the Mel Gibson furore, anti-semitic, homophobic, racist comments, domestic violence concerns etc.

Took a few years then back to business as usual.

As for the Biden comment, understand the passion behind it but a real brain fart comment that promptly damaged the good he had done and now necessitates a swathe of "corrections" and "updates" that if anything are making it worse.

The Trumpanzees and the rest of the Right will be all over saying how Biden isn't fit, too old, not all there etc etc. The fact that Griftzilla is in a waaaaay worse mental state will be skated over.

[RTH10260]

i guess that was what is called a punch line.

[Suranis]

The Biden comment was received with near unanimous approval over here.

[June bug]

[Reality Check]

WTF did Biden say that was wrong or untrue?

WTF did Biden say that was wrong or untrue?

For God’s sake, [Putin] cannot remain in power.

Which those desiring to hear it interpreted as a (destabilizing) call for "regime change." Or was at least undisciplined.

[raison de arizona]

WTF did Biden say that was wrong or untrue?

He said Putin should not remain in power, which the White House quickly walked back to mean having power outside of Russia, various pundits terming it a gaffe.

[Suranis]

Fuck the pundits. He said what needed to be said.

Those same pundits probably cream themselves at recordings of Reagan calling the USSR the "evil Empire."

[Kriselda Gray]

For those who haven't seen it...

I wonder if that was some kind of a set up or something - publicity stunt, or if Will Smith is just really that much of an asshole. I get he was defending his wife, but that doesn't excuse it.

Ok, I can understand Will`s anger a bit better, but its still not an excuse for punching someone like that. Rock was being an asshole, too, though, making fun of someone's disability like that.

Since Chris Rock has made a joke about Will Smith's wife in the past, no, this was no publicity stunt between the two men.
