Will Smith Writes Every 'Cool' Tort Professor's Final Exam Question At The Oscars

...I betchu Chris Rock won't do it again.

It has been said before that people would be more violent if they knew how the rich lived. As it turns out, the rich dabble with a bit of violence here and there too.

There was quite a bit of relating to celebrities last night, with folks quickly choosing Team Jada or Team Rock.

Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley was quick to announce that she was Team Jada — perhaps too quick given that she quickly deleted this tweet.

She wasn’t the only public representative to throw in their two cents — Representative Brendan Boyle was quick enough to tweet what we all thought.

As sudden as this appeared to everyone involved and watching, this is not the first time that Rock made a joke at Jada Pinkett’s expense at the Oscars. My money is on this being the last time, lest Mr. Smith or one of his entourage smack with a closed fist next time. This will likely all blow over soon. Chris Rock has declined to press charges and Smith was already seen getting jiggy, Oscar in hand shortly after the aftermath.

Hopefully this response to fighting words doesn’t give anyone opposing Yale speakers any ideas.
