As noted elsewhere, the Academy has the 10-second video isolate on what Jaded said to Cuck Smif after the joke, but won't release it. The guy who schmengled Jaded now has the hottest book of the year about to be released.

But the winner of the fight has been declared: Chris Rock is standing room only -- in fact the halo effect has Chappelle adding dates + extra shows and selling out in hours.

If Freeptards say, 'what of it', both Rock and Chappelle are the 2 foremost comedians completely unafraid of criticizing their own race; in addition, Chappelle is one of the very few in the entertainment sphere who has punched down on the trannys and won.

Can I slap you now?...

Actually, you should thank your lucky stars you didn't take lst place. That finish earned a $100 donation to La Raza in the winner's name and address. That guarantees a stuffed mailbox for another couple of years.

Yet you cared enough to post. I'm touched.

No, it’s an insult to his holdings, whatever quality it represents. The worse the quality, the deeper the insult.

I wonder how Will got himself into this situation. With this greater knowledge of his life story, how come it seems different than the kind of guy he depicts on the screen? (Nt being sarcastic, just wondering.)

On the other hand, it really wasn’t a terrible insult, and she was being an exhibitionist about her so-called alopecia, whereas all the photos show a stubble that was evenly grown all over her head—no empty patches. But even if she really does have it, going bald to the Oscars to make a show of it would be like someone who had lost an eye deciding not to wear her prosthetic eye or eyepatch on the night her husband was to be honored, and have all the press swarming to take pictures of her gaping eye hole instead of him. Her stunt was not worth the honor. And he was probably cocained up.

As a kid, growing up in the late 50’s early 60’s, I watched the Lone Ranger and Tonto every Saturday afternoon.

I was so disappointed in this movie, it was an insult to the brand...............................

His wife sleeps around with many different men, one of whom is 20 years younger and currently staying at his home.

My guess is this played into it some.

It is a sorrowful, heart-wrenching thing.

Looking back, I am so glad that I did not live in a home like that. I took me a long time to realize how few children can count on a home governed by unviolated trust like I had.

I failed to appreciate it soon enough.
