How would you feel I’d someone insulted your wife in front millions of people.

Oh come on now...

It’s Chris Rock, he’s a comedian that makes mild fun of people all the time. It’s what he does. Smith knows that.

And the joke was lame, but not insulting.

Comparing this joke with what Ricky Gervais said of the various celebrities at the Golden Globe, it is nothing.

They choose to live their lives in the publics eye so they and their famalies are fair game. If they can’t stand the heat they need to get out of the kitchen.

Depends if the insult was earned.

It was a joke. You take it in good sport or slap him because it is not even a funny joke!

1. I would have known that Chris Rock is a professional stand-up comic, and that the joke was of the kind that, e.g., Don Rickles might have delivered. I would have said and done nothing.

2. I would have been steamed but would have said and done nothing. "First Amendment" and all that.

3. I would have been steamed but would have realized that going up on a stage in front of millions of people and smacking someone is beyond the pale.I would have said and done nothing.

4. I would have gone up onto the stage and whispered something in Rock's ear that only he could hear, whereupon Rock would have instantly issued a formal apology.

5. I would have immediately taken my wife and left the show.

6. I would have gone up onto the stage and knocked Rock flat on his kiester and maybe have gone to jail.

Regards,

Because the little woman is a fragile, protected little girl who is not a public figure and never leaves the house except for the grocery, church and momma's house, to which her husband drives her because she can't handle a big ol' car. She has never shown her daring necklines in public or uttered a single word in jest towards another public figure in their line of business; no, never.

eye roll
