SFGATE politics editor Eric Ting Did His Own Research and is Just Asking Questions
I don't believe for a minute that Will Smith's "slap" of Chris Rock at the Academy Awards on Sunday night was real. No way. No how. No evidence to the contrary — no matter how compelling — can persuade me to abandon my world view that "elites lie, my own research is always better."
The Academy — a cabal of Hollywood scum with a penchant for drinking the blood of children — is clearly seeking to improve the Oscars broadcast's sagging ratings and disappointing crowd size. They tried to make the show move faster by not televising certain awards. They included categories for top "fan-favorite movies" and "cheer moments" in an attempt to appease Real Americans (TM) who prefer superhero movies and are fed up with the virtue signaling in indie movies.
And because Tom Hanks has finally been jailed for his crimes, they needed something to distract us from their degeneracy. Enter the "slap heard around the world," an event I am about to expose as the biggest hoax perpetrated by our elites since they brainwashed millions of Americans into believing the moon landing was real.
Let's start with the joke that prompted the "slap." Smith can clearly be seen laughing at Rock remarking that he will soon be seeing Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, in a "G.I. Jane" sequel on account of her bald head.
What's that you say? Pinkett Smith is clearly not laughing? And it's possible that she said something to her husband, who then felt compelled to defend his wife's honor? And that he'd be particularly compelled after feeling shame for laughing at a joke at her expense?

Smith did have a little smirk on his face as he turned around. Hard to know for certain if that was a tell or if he was just being smug. Chris Rock is also a professional and knows how to handle a heckler on stage - unlikely he would over-react he was there working. So again, hard to know.
It could have been half farce/half real. Like Smith meant to smack him but more in jest than out of anger. But when Smith started cursing, well then he took it to another level.
All could have been staged, but, if it was planned by the Academy it was really very poorly done.
they are desperate to save their utterly failing awards crapshow.
Let’s pretend Will Smith is white
My concern for Will Smith and his public persona, wife and career is close to zero. I’ve never been a fan. I’ve laughed at some of Chris Rock’s stuff over the years but not lately as I’m pretty much over big entertainment. Wasn’t watching at the time but was here on FR and read about the incident and subsequent commentary. Not interested enough to even watch a clip of this. Have seen a couple of still photos. I give this incident about a week before it becomes old news.
I will say this, Smith was in the most conservative movie in Hollywood in decades.
N on N is not news
The Oscars, Walmart or McDonalds, N on N is their culture
Rock also had zero evidence of damage in photographs taken at the after-party. A shot like that should have left a welt, or even a scratch left by jewelry or a finger nail. Zip, zero, nadda.
Dittos. I may have as much as 18-20 left but not sure I want 'em all...at this rate.
On the other hand, I want to be around to see climate greenies eat crow and that could take a while longer.
Maybe he is.
What if a pimp slapped someone over his ho and no one cared?
I’m with you - fake. One man approaching another man - one he knows - the normal response is to stick out a hand for a handshake. It’s not to keep both hands clasped behind the back.

It could be real if Rock is in fact sleeping with Smith’s wife.
Just trying to get up to date on my privilege language
Apparently, Rock is one of the people his wife doesn’t brag about sleeping with.
Benefits? More like a train wreck.
There are rumors about Tom Hanks, I have seen no proof.
