Chris wins. He wins for having the balls to say stuff like this:
"When a woman gets pregnant, it's a choice between the woman"—here Rock pauses, a mischievous grin barely restrained—"and her girlfriends." From there: "One girlfriend goes, 'Child, you should have that baby—that man got some good hair…' And the other girlfriend says, 'Child, why we even talking about this—ain't we supposed to go to Cancun next week? Get rid of that baby!' " And that, Rock says, "is how life is decided in America."
"If a kid calls his grandma 'mama' and his mama 'Pam,' he's going to jail," Rock explains. To all the women who leave their kids at home so they can pop some bubbly at the club, Rock has this advice: "Go take care of those kids before they rob me in 10 years."
I can hear the uproar of abortion enthusiasts and liberals who've never set foot in the hood. To them I say: 1. It's just a joke. 2. It's funny because it's partly true (not all true).
I live in the hood and know these kids he's talking about -- have even been robbed by some of them. They are not all like that, but the hood is full of issues because no one wants to take care of them, just as the world is full of women who are ill-equipped to be mothers because no one wants to take care of them.
Oh, I can't wait for the Oscars...

Did you see the 60 minutes bit on Chris Rock? Good stuff.
Best Chris Rock movie moment:
P.A.: "You're the man."
Rock: "No, you're the man and that's the problem."
from "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back"
I got a giggle from it. :-)
