O.J. Simpson: The Worst Human Being Ever
November 16th, 2006 by Michael Stephens
It’s one thing to commit a pair of brutal, premeditated killings, mercilessly ending the lives of your ex-wife and her friend.
It’s another thing to deny it, buy your way out of it with a high-priced team of defense lawyers, and show absolutely no remorse.
And it’s another thing altogether to decide, 12 years later, that getting away with murder isn’t enough, and that you should really rub it in the faces of the victims and America as a whole while making money off it to boot.
We reported this before, back when it was first announced that O.J. Simpson is coming out with a book entitled If I Did It, in which he gives adoring fans a “hypothetical” account of how he “would have” slain Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Now he’s promoting it with TV interviews!
In order to hype this remarkable literary work, Fox Broadcasting, class acts that they are, announced yesterday that they have scheduled not one but two hourlong programs later this month in which O.J. will appear and talk about the book and all the speculative murder in it.
Mike Darnell, Executive V.P. of Alternative Programming for Fox, said in a statement that the network’s “O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened” interview is one that no one thought would ever happen.
That’s undoubtedly true for many reasons. Namely the fact that this is probably the most tasteless, degrading and unnecessary “news story” in history.
What’s O.J. Simpson going to say? That he hypothetically slit the throat of his children’s mother and left her drowning in a pool of blood? That, come to think of it, he should have poisoned her, to make it less messy? That Goldman was asking for it when he showed up unannounced and caught him in the act?
No idea, but one thing’s for sure: O.J. is headed straight to hell, and the people helping him make money (while profiting along with him) by agreeing to publish and air this garbage can’t be far behind.

Evidently the trail of the “real killer” that O.J. was following (apparently leading to golf courses all over South Florida) has gone cold. I imagine the only thing worth hearing in this latest charade will be O.J. admitting that if he DID kill Nicole and Ron Goldman that he’d “damn sure not wear those easily traced size 12 Bruno Magli shoes, you know….like the real killer did”.
