The editorial
Source: The Indian Express · 4 Apr 2022It is some consolation that it’s not just comedians in India who need to worry about getting beaten up for a bad joke. The world was stunned when actor Will Smith nonchalantly climbed the Oscars stage and punched host Chris Rock last week. Smith went on to win an Oscar and dance the night away, the lack of consequences alarming for whacking someone with billions watching. There were plenty of others who deserved to be celebrated that night but the narrative of the Academy Awards 2022 was hijacked by the slap — another unfortunate example of how viral culture is perpetually overshadowing important achievements.
