The controversy surrounding the host of the 2014 Oscars won't stop humming. 5% of twitter users using 95% of the bandwidth of the site have decried "openly racist and sexist moments" committed by the brick wall.
Twitter user KHater says "I just found it really sexist that it said absolutely nothing before announcing best actress." Another user decried the moment a single brick fell off the wall as intentionally disrupting Jennifer Anniston's acceptance speech as "highly offensive to women everywhere."
On top of that the moment where Jamie Foxx addressed the wall to a huge moment of silence was decried by some as intentionally racist.
"This was a truly disappointing performance" says a source close with the show. "After last year's uproar over the 'boob song' in which some viewers were actually dumb enough to believe Charleze Theron was really offended (then took to the stage to dance with Tatum and MacFarlene - Yeah I'm sure she had NO idea about the song beforehand), the production company felt that it was time to take the safe road. It was a bold idea. No dialogue, singing or dancing. Nothing at all but a brick wall occasionally rolled out. The ratings were terrible and STILL there were a ton of viewers what thought the host was racist and sexist. I mean we cant win. Its like some of these people have nothing better to do than find racism and sexism in everything."
The International Home for People without a Sense of humor declined to comment, aside from saying that maybe next year they can "try that guy from Full House. He was Hilarious and that show was a laugh riot." Upon hearing the suggestion, Bob Sagat let out a string of obscenities that are still circling around the planet. "Did they hear my bit about Kimmy Gibler's boobs?"
