Concentrated OJ

The Dukes may have tried to corner the Frozen Concentrated OJ market, but OJ Simpson himself has officially cornered the market of bad PR and now he has stooped to Mike Tyson-like levels with the announcement that he will be in a two part interview titled "OJ Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened". Are you kidding me? Is this really happening? The only thing that is NOT astonishing about this is that FOX is the network that will air this interview. And the only thing that's worse than this TV show, is that he has a book coming out about the same thing.

I know, I know....everyone in this country thinks OJ killed his wife and Ron Goldman. It's become such an assumed truth, that we only really joke about it anymore. It truly has become humorous in an overly sarcastic way. I was too young to see OJ as a great running back. I remember him first and foremost as Detective Nordberg and remember him in the back of AC's white Bronco on every channel of television at the time. I remember how crazy this country got even in my suburban midwestern school at the time of his acquittal.

And now after all of this he's giving us the finger again with his upcoming TV interview and book. Here's how it happened, IF I did it? What type of concept is this? Who came up with this idea and how broke is he to do this? I have expected a book deal to make money for him. I expected, however, a book more along the lines of "Why I Didn't Do It" or some other reflection on these past several years and how difficult they have been. But now...he's going to shock us just like we were when we heard he was originally charged with the murders. I'm normally about the most cynical person I know...normally not surprised by the constant stream of man's stupidity that floods our news channels, but even I was amazed at this idea being given the proverbial green light. He's seriously going to break down and analyze for us how he WOULD have killed his ex-wife and Ron Goldman. Why? So we can stop and think to ourselves how he obviously didn't kill them since he would have done it differently....he told us so in his book! Bravo Juice....you and Iron Mike must have put your heads together on this one!

So thanks OJ....thank you for making me feel better about hating you. Because I definitely do hate you now for this book. All sarcasm and jokes aside, you are a truly sick person. I don't know what I was possibly thinking during those brief moments of obvious insanity in which I gave consideration to your innocence. I'm back to reality now and better than ever. You deserve every bit of hatred that people feel towards you. I can't say I've ever wanted to burn a book, but yours would be the top of my list now. Thank you also to FOX for reminding me that if it wasn't for The Family Guy and the NFL in HD, I would really never watch your broadcasting since it is riddled with trash like this.
