Almost worse than murder
On a brighter note, let’s discuss the latest news about Orenthal James Simpson. You may remember form an eternity ago that he was accused and acquitted in the murders of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.
Later, Goldman’s family sued Simpson and gained a civil judgment against the former NFL star. Of course, the juice has hardly paid a dime, and has always claimed he is searching for the “real killers.” If it were not such a barbaric crime, all of this would be funny. Simpson has written a book titled, “If I really did it.”
The publisher says the work amounts to a confession, but something tells me to doubt that. Amazon.com says that it has already reached 54 on the top sellers list, even before the publication date. Fred Goldman, father of the murdered young man, is calling for a boycott. Fox TV is planning a big special just in time for sweeps.
O. J. has been found not guilty and may not be tried again, even if he should confess. He and the publishers are entitled to make a dime, and so is Fox. America is a great county, and I am proud to live in a land where I can chose not to read or watch things that tear down society. Simpson’s opportunistic stunt is almost as harmful and odious as the murders.
