eheathyou're doing the exact same thing back to me lol
it wasn't an insult, it was just an observation, i didnt call you a boomer calm down
eheathI mean if you wanna believe it's true, go for it but you probably think that people get married after the bachelor too.
eheathI wouldn't expect anyone in your generation to understand, y'all are the ones who feed these dumbass networks millions of views on absolutely garbage content.

Monsieur_PatateI had a similar reaction when I first heard about it "probably a sketch, staged" and I think it's good to be skeptic of stuff at first, but after watching the clip and thinking about it for a second, I highly doubt it was staged, just wouldn't make any sense.
First you're assuming the academy thought "oh yeah let's stage a violent interaction to make us more relevant". Besides putting them in the news cycle for a week, this achieves nothing to make them more relevant, if that's their plan, it's just dumb af, makes zero sense.
But fine let's say the academy is dumb and came up with this master plan, then you're assuming they somehow managed to convince Will fucking Smith who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars to throw his public image under the bus for them, okay... Clearly they couldn't come up with enough money to convince him, so what, they offered an oscar win and that was enough for him to look like an absolute moron in front of the world? I highly doubt it but let's keep going.
Then you do realize there is a team of CPAs certifying votes an everything, it's not one guy in a shack doing whatever he wants, so I assume you think they paid everyone involved in that process so he could get his oscar, and you think they'd be confident for people to keep their mouths shut forever too?
Like how is the risk worth the reward here? If this comes out they lose all credibility and the currently very successful people involved in that scheme would be ostracized from Hollywood. So they risk losing their careers/reputation for having the oscars in the news cycle for another week? The risk/reward just doesn't make any sense, they have everything to lose, very little to gain.
None of that makes any sense dude, and while I guess anything is possible I'd put the odds of it being staged at

eheathhe probably used a less than or greater than symbol and broke the code
Monsieur_PatateI totally broke the code with the less than symbol, my point was that it's prolly less than a 10% chance of it being staged.

eheathunfortunately we'll never really know, but I have a hard time believing this was all a coincidence on a failing program (the oscars) on a struggling network (abc) being controlled by idiots (disney).
skiermanYeah man, Disney totally roped two famous entertainers into faking a physical assault over a joke about a woman balding in order to bolster ratings.
pheath, you're a fucking idiot.

MiniMeDannyThank you, this is the most well written and properly analyzed comment in this thread.
We’re in a huge era of skepticism and conspiracy theories especially with key topics from the past few years like covid, the vaccines, and trumps “stolen election.”
The best thing to do is try and logically break down the pros and cons of each side and come to your own conclusion. I also think that’s a much better way of persuading people and demonstrating maturity.
The doubts you brought up about Will Smith being comfortable with intentionally destroying his public image over this is the one that hits home the most for me. I find that incredibly hard to believe and want to ask @eheath why he thinks that is plausible.
eheathHe didn't destroy anything, he won a fucking Oscar haha. Everyone is gonna forget about this in a week.
MiniMeDannyYes the incident itself won’t be trending news in a week but now when people think about Will Smith, this is something that will come to mind. Especially the younger generation who is less familiar with him. It is hard for me to believe that Will would be comfortable making that sacrifice.
percsfollow the music. All the top songs are now explicitly about sex drugs and violence. Ads are getting more risqué every day.
BiffbarfBro top music has been about gettin zooted and clappin cheeks for like 70 years
CatdickBojanglesDamn Chris Rock was going back on tour… probably barely sold any tickets. Then gets smacked and sells out. Makes sense now.
DominatorJacquesHe was sold out a long time ago.
Chunder_KhatWas he tho?
DominatorJacquesYea, seems I'm probably wrong on that note.
SavageBiffCost of his tickets have sky rocketed.
that said, I still don’t think it was staged.
is will benefitting in any way I wonder?!?
