Will Smith smacks Chris Rock after remark about his wife

[Olive]

now, the powers that be sussing out beforehand what script and commentary will be used by the host of the show, whats on the table and what are no go zones, taking into account of who gets the front row seats... That is a different story....

A very good point. Thanks for the reminder. None of these commentaries are spontaneous, they are all scripted. That makes the insult even worse because so many people would have approved it beforehand.

I do wish Smith had just walked onto the stage and yelled at the compère rather than hitting him.
