HOLLYWOOD, CA—After seeing Will Smith received a standing ovation for physical violence in response to a joke, Twitter immediately hired the actor to dole out slaps to comedians they don't like.
"Here at Twitter, jokes are no laughing matter," said Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal. "We hate our precious ideology being made fun of more than we hate terrorists and concentration camps combined. We tried simple censorship, but last night we discovered what appears to be a much more fun and popular way to deal with offensive jokes—literal violence! Who knew you could be applauded for assault and battery, so long as it was in response to a tasteless joke? We are proud to bring Mr. Smith on board to begin a slapping rampage against our foes."
Twitter will add a button for users to tag offensive jokes as 'Reported To Will Smith'. A hand-selected team chosen from a pool of flaming San Francisco liberals will then determine if the joke is indeed slap-worthy. If so, Mr. Smith will be air-dropped within the hour to deliver a vicious, open-handed slap.
"I just do all of this out of love," said a teary-eyed Mr. Smith as he slapped random strangers in preparation for his new job. "Love leads you to destroy your marriage, dump the mess on your children, and assault people. It's all very healthy and life-affirming, which is why people clap for me so much."
At publishing time, comedians across the country had reportedly gone underground to avoid being man-slapped. The editors of the Babylon Bee, however, thought Mr. Smith hit like a sissy little girl and will go about their day as usual.
