It seems to be the day for Will Smith news. In Saturday’s Daily Record, Smith discussed his feelings about the good in people, but stirred up some controversy with his thoughts on Hitler.

“Even Hitler didn’t wake up going, ‘let me do the most evil thing I can do today’,” said Smith. “I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good’.Stuff like that just needs reprogramming.”

What developed after that was that World Entertainment News Network released a story over their wire feed with the headline SMITH: ‘HITLER WAS A GOOD PERSON,’.

Then in response to Smith’s comment, Jan Winter of Page Six wrote:

“Will, you’ve broken our hearts. It’s you that needs reprogramming.”

Talk about taking something out of context and being irresponsible. He never said that Hitler was a good person. Poptherapy is on your side Will. We know what you meant.

Will Smith is the flavor of the month and as typically happens, some will use a name and twist a story in order to milk the current Hollywood Golden boy or girl for all they are worth.

How about this? When he actually says that “Hitler is a good person”, you know, when the words actually come out of his mouth, then you can accuse him of it. Sound good?
