Let's not straw man, shall we? I did not make that argument. My argument is that a joke about losing hair vs a joke about a cancer patient who may die from it, are NOT the same thing. Not even close. I am expressing my opinion freely as you are. Let's cool off with the "it's not for you to...

You need to watch the full clip again. Smith was not smiling when he walked away after having slapped Rock. The only time Smith was smiling is when he heard Rock's joke about his wife.

You see no difference between making fun of what is largely a non life threatening condition that affects hair, to cancer? Amazing.

The Academy sets the tone and rules for the jokes they will allow by choosing the comedian they want to host the segment. Sort of like what the Globes used to do with Gervais - they knew what they were getting, and they knew what they were getting with Rock. Was the joke over the line of good...

I bet Will Smiths garage is much nicer than my apartment! lol

Bad and tasteless jokes are uttered all the time. The usual fallout is that comedian who told the joke is scorned by the public and roasted in social media for their bad taste/judgement. This is what should have happened last night, and Rock should have been the bad guy. You just don't...

Rock's stumbling and search for words and getting his line wrong about the next award is pretty telling. He was shaken and completely off his game at that point. No act. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they spun it that way though.

The part I don't understand is, he was laughing at the joke...then he suddenly snaps. On the night he is heavily favoured to win an Oscar, too. He couldn't hold it together?

Not a chance that it was staged. It had zero chance of being a funny moment no matter how you slice it. Was very real.
