It feels like Smith's response was somewhere in between "measured" and truly "aggressive," and I for one find that relatable. Though I personally would be too much of a wimp to even slap a man.

There's a pretty big gap between wanting to hit someone and actually doing it, and then another gap between doing it and doing it on live TV.

That would have been ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as the time a barback I once worked with called the police and attempted to press charges on a bartender who wouldn't stop poking his nose with a bar spoon and saying "boop" during a shift. (true story)

I hope that dude was fired

Yes, he was.

What about the serial booper? Hope he got his ass kicked...or at least slapped.

Live tv. Control your emotions. What an embarrassment

Wait. That’s to whom I was referring.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Oh. I thought you were talking about the boopee who called the cops and got himself arrested for warrants.
