Announcer: New court… New rules (slightly modified)… Game over.
[sound of gunshots: two quick ones, then four more]
Announcer: Coming soon to a theater near you. White Men Can’t Jump Part II: Stand Your Ground
[sound of police siren and tires followed by fourteen more gunshots]
Woody Harrelson: That’s right officer, I definitely felt threatened. He was coming at me fast with a large orange sphere which really could have been anything.
Cop: And did he look like Hulk Hogan?

Time for the Academy to re-watch, “Hollywood Shuffle.”
It would be awesome if Chris Rock would turn down the gig, not like he needs the money, and stand up (pun totally intended) for what’s right. But hey Chris, ya big sell out…I’m sure whitey will enjoy your very funny “n” word jokes.
Next year I’m sure there will be no rigging whatsoever to clear the academy’s already smeared name.

I suppose the Academy—for lack a better idea—will always have a place for someone capable of speaking the unspeakable “n” and getting away with it.
Maybe cuts of Spike Lee’s Bamboozled, staring Jada Pinkett Smith could be worked into the evenings festivities since these two won’t be there in person.
A “Stephen Colbert at the 2006 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner” style routine by Chris Rock would be appropriate.
Does Rock have the Colbert stuff? I bet he does if he put his mind to it.

Of course he does, he’s just not paid to be “that” comic.
NBA is a pure meritocracy.
White men can’t jump.
It’s called “standing your ground” Remus.
