The Slap Heard Around the World!

Lately, there’s been a surfeit of reports concerning a certain emotionally unbalanced actor slapping a comedian as an audience of the high positioned and the hoi polloi looked on.

 The viewership ratings spiked upwards, an almost 100% increase when the reports, tweets, IG’s and other smokey signals began to waft into the dank social media clapbackmosphere. The galleries looked on with glee and they wanted more.

 Memes of the blow began to pop up and repopulate everywhere. The crowd, and surely the advertisers, had what they wanted most – controversy! Bad, boorish behavior between protagonist and  deuteragonist was just the Spike needed. Could a better script have been written or foretold?

 Here on display for an international audience we had theater! And what is more venal than vituperative, virulent, violence? Aha, Macbeth, sitting front row with a clear view to all of the clamor, it does appear that “fair is foul and foul is fair hover through the foul and filthy air.”

 Ah, but more than a mere slap has taken place. Nay, “double, double toil and trouble fire burn and cauldron bubble.” The crowd’s thirst for blood, gore, and more has only begun. No one slap can satiate this craven palate.

Yes, when the Roman guards struck this Prince  of Everywhere the Final Act  had truly begun. A worldwide eternal audience now looked on. The whispers from within the throng would not, could not, be persuaded until the boisterous shouts of “Crucify him, Crucify him” drip from their snarling lips.

 Wait! Freeze! Pause! Insert the 7 second delay! Ah, but itz Too, Too Late. The  unstoppable pendulum of history has swung and it will not, cannot, rest until it returns from itz furthermost point. The law of physics, motion, sines, and destiny will accept no other outcome. 

The tintinnabulations of this Slap will ring throughout all of human history and histrionics.

 During this season of Lent, I recommend that each of us found in the crowd pause, reflect and see, no, not "the greatest night in the history of television,” but the greatest moment in the history of mankind.

 The true Slap heard around the world.
