Here's some math: Slow news day plus badly worded comments about Adolf Hitler equals drama with the Anti-Defamation League. Fortunately, Will Smith took honors P.R. Math, and knows that quickly released statements plus blaming others equals salvaged reputation.
In a statement, Smith said,
It speaks to the dangerous power of an ignorant person with a pen. I am incensed and infuriated to have to respond to such ludicrous misinterpretation. … Adolf Hitler was a vile, heinous vicious killer responsible for one of the greatest acts of evil committed on this planet.
Phew, this guy is against the Holocaust. Maybe it is time to see I Am Legend.
P.S. How did Adolf Hitler come up in an interview with Will Smith anyway?
Whats amazing is how it's all just badly worded or misunderstood. I have to wonder what he'd be thinking if someone took a quote from a Jewish guy talking about slavery or segregation. I'm sure a quickie PR statement wouldn't have been enough.
