It's been a while since we've heard news of Harvey the sweaty bog toad. And by "a while" I mean it's been a whole week. One tends to lay low after one's penile deviancy sparks national outrage. Can't say I blame him for slithering under the swamp which birthed him. Especially since, when he does venture out into public, he's met with five fingers and a backhand.

It's not every day we see Harv slapped around like a little girl refusing to eat her greens. Observe.

Harvey Weinstein was on the receiving end of 2 backhanded slaps to the face ... that's what the newly-obtained video shows.

[He] was dining Tuesday night at Elements restaurant in Scottsdale when a guy named Steve approached him and asked for a photo. Steve tells TMZ Weinstein was belligerent and said no, while a restaurant manager says Weinstein was "sweet" and politely declined.

Big mistake buckeroo. I believe you ordered the back of this hand for dessert?

Steve and Weinstein shook hands and sat down, but this video shows what happened when they were both leaving the restaurant around 9 PM. Although the restaurant manager says Steve's hands never landed on Weinstein's face, you clearly see and hear Steve make contact twice, as he calls Weinstein "a piece of s***."

Steve told us he'd had "quite a bit to drink," and instructed his friend to record video as he walked up to Weinstein. As we reported, Weinstein declined to call police and left the restaurant.

Okay, Steve kind of sounds like a dingleberry himself. But it's still a nice change of pace to see a story where Weinstein is the unwilling recipient of touchies.

So a dude who's slapped the butts of plenty of ladies got a little face spanking. Doubt anyone is shedding any tears here. Also, who doesn't love some good slappage? I'm certainly not above it.

Yes yes, due process and trials are still important and all that. But sometimes life gives you a nice face patty-cake to enjoy. You're not a bad person for giggling. Tis good for the soul.

One last gif for the road:

Slap boxing. It's what's for dinner.
