Ok, I don't know what others think about actors making a joke out of domestic violence but I personally found it to be distasteful. Not to mention it is sending out the wrong message to the audience. Domestic violence and abuse is no laughing matter, and I think it is a real shame to see intelligent actors mocking it and turning it into something trivial.
I have nothing against the actors, so I hope their fans do not take this the wrong way. But I do think that celebrities should be a bit more careful about what they do and say, especially in public. Perhaps the actors themselves did not realise what they were doing. Perhaps their intention was not to mock. But it's still wrong. The incident that Telly Buzz refers to was onstage in Durban and apparently, it got a few laughs out of the audience. I really wonder what's so amusing about it...
