High-level comedy: Chris Rock counterpunches, and wins

For the past year, Rock received heaps of attention for being involved in an infamous public moment. But he didn’t choose to be infamous.

He could have headed to Oprah’s couch and whipped up more attention for himself, but he refused to be a victim.

He says he doesn’t even take his shirt off on camera, so it’s unlikely he’ll be showing his ass for attention.

That leaves only one option. Chris Rock will continue to attract attention by being excellent.
