Joe Biden Gets Lucky Again!
Joe Biden Gets Lucky Again!
Will Smith just ensured that nobody will be talking about Biden’s remarks on Putin.
Re: Joe Biden Gets Lucky Again!
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.

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.

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).MN-Skeptic wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 12:31 am 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.

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.
Re: Joe Biden Gets Lucky Again!
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.

Re: Joe Biden Gets Lucky Again!
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.

Re: Joe Biden Gets Lucky Again!
Looks like Chris Rock’s “joke” was the trigger but not the cause. Will be interesting(?) to see if the “backstory” comes out.

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.

WTF did Biden say that was wrong or untrue?

Which those desiring to hear it interpreted as a (destabilizing) call for "regime change." Or was at least undisciplined.Biden wrote:For God’s sake, [Putin] cannot remain in power.

Re: Joe Biden Gets Lucky Again!
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.

Re: Joe Biden Gets Lucky Again!
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."

Re: Joe Biden Gets Lucky Again!
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.

Re: Joe Biden Gets Lucky Again!
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.

Re: Joe Biden Gets Lucky Again!
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.Kriselda Gray wrote: ↑Mon Mar 28, 2022 1:09 pm 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.
