To which I said \u2026 huh?<\/p>\n<p>My take is this. Will Smith should not have pranced onto the stage and smacked Rock, a guy I do not consider to be much of a sympathetic character. He could have kept his emotions in check and perhaps had a \u201cfrank\u201d and \u201cmanly\u201d discussion with Rock after the show.<\/p>\n<p>But \u2026 he chose instead to make a spectacle of himself, to get his name plastered on headlines around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and then to supplant another story that really is worth telling, which was the Best Actor honor that Will Smith won for his role as Venus and Serena Williams\u2019s father in \u201cKing Richard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Enough on that. I need now to concentrate on issues that really matter \u2026 like the bloodshed in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given that I didn\u2019t watch the Oscars ceremony Sunday night and that I didn\u2019t really care two hoots about any of the films or actors being honored, I was surprised to learn this morning after rolling off the rack about the \u201creal story\u201d of the night\u2019s event in La La Land.
