Will Smith's Oscar Slap Is Now A Bizarre Browser Game
Following on from Will Smith's now-infamous Oscars altercation with Chris Rock, a player has created Slap Chris, a PC browser game in which players are able to slap Rock. The incident has led to countless memes spread across the internet, and Smith's slap has even spawned video game memes.
