OJ Spills His Guts
Or, more accurately, had spilled the guts of two people (one his wife and the other, her lover) all over the driveway of a pretty nice house in Brentwood, CA.So in case you haven’t heard, OJ Simpson is going on FOX television in a two night special entitled “If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened”. Interviewed by Judith Reagan, the special coincides, of course, with a tell-all (or in this case tell-all under the guise of not telling) book published under Mrs. Reagan’s namesake publishing imprint.
I will ignore the annoyingly simplistic title of the book and TV special. This rant is for Mr. Simpson, a cretin whose barbarity, callousness and plain stupidity knows no bounds. I thought we were done with OJ. I thought I might see him playing golf in a random magazine and hope for a lightening storm. But here he is again, basically confessing and I ask, what’s the point? We all know he did it. There is no mystery. He can confess in the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue and under the Constitution, he is not allowed to be retried under Double Jeopardy (for a reference point, see the movie with the same name starring Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman). Mr. Simpson is reportedly being paid $3.5 million for this and every cent should go to the litigants who won the civil trial to whom Simpson has not paid one dime. Sure, most people would love to see Simpson broke and suffering, but unfortunately this isn’t the case.
So who is going to watch this drivel? Johnnie Cochran- no he is dead. Judge Ito? Perhaps, but who has heard from him in more than a decade. Marcia Clark and Chris Darden? I don’t know, maybe they are gluttons for punishment. Speaking of punishment…a special kick in the throat should be reserved for Ms. Reagan. Why do you feel necessary to do this? Are you that soulless, that starved for attention and money that you feel the need to try to make people feel anything but contempt for a creature, a vile example of humanity like OJ?
OJ states in this interview "I can't do no more of this”. Actually, OJ, you can and you will. Because if you are going to put yourself out there, and I’m not even going to harp on his mangling of the English language, you will be the puppet that Ms. Reagan needs you to be. The viewers, which I hope will number less than those who purchased Kevin Federline’s album, should expect nothing but feelings of contempt and I feel nothing but rage at those who have vaulted him back into the forefront of media attention. Congratulations FOX and Ms. Reagan, you have outdone yourself.
