Mr. Heartbreak Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 My dos pesos (from my blog) : I suppose the blogosphere is full of OJ today, and no surprise there. Who wouldn't want to comment on the crass public relations debacle surrounding the release of Mr. Simpson's tauntingly titled If I Did It, and the flurry of articles condemning him and it? It just goes to show that we have descended to an all time low point in our culture, even as we righteously flog the dead horse of OJ's guilt or innocence. Still, I can't help feeling that discussing the book, watching the inevitable trainwreck of an interview, or even talking about it, is all sort of like adding gasoline to a fire. Before long, something worth little to no attention becomes a huge conflagration, a chance for angry people to get angrier, another excuse to hammer away at the topic of race relations or the cult of celebrity. I'm not suggesting that if we don't watch him, he'll go away. I'm suggesting that he's been rightfully shunned for 12 years, and there's no reason to stop now ... regardless of what his publicist might think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Surely the book will still find its way out? I still keep thinking this whole episode was something I read in the Onion or somesuch. Hard to believe... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JUDE Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm sure the 'stolen' DVD of the interview will sell more than Tommy and Pamela's honeymoon video. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
