O.J. Simpson Says Media Convicted Him
Simpson reveals he's "angry" at slain ex-wife
Fox, NBC to air O.J. Simpson interviews: June 12 marks 10 years since wife's murder
Well, it started on June 23, 2003 with one man (me) and a dream, a dream of somehow chronicling human stupidity in whatever form it manifested itself. Who could ever forget the immortal Chante Jawan Mallard, the woman who impaled a homeless man on the windshield of her car, and left him to die in her garage while still impaled on the same windshield?
What I started with then still holds true today:
....as the name implies, it's intended as a recognition of an inDUHvidual, who, through acts of monumentally stupid, willful ignorance, or merely subhuman criminal neglect created a result that no one in their wildest dreams could have imagined. This award may be bestowed daily, weekly, or in any other time increments that seem appropriate. I will be constantly on the lookout for those worthy of being held up to public ridicule, but I'm always in the market for nominations. You can send the to me at yuppieskum-at-yahoo-dot-com.
As the DUMB@$$ AWARD celebrates it's 100th "honoree", I'm not certainly I've really accomplished anything useful, but I've certainly had fun doing it. And so...onward and upward, for human stupidity is our one truly inexhaustible resource.
Today, we "celebrate" O.J. Simpson, who apparently is still angry at his ex-wife for allowing him to murder her and her companion on that infamous June night in 1994.
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Ten years after the double murder for which he was acquitted but left a virtual pariah, O.J. Simpson says in a television interview that he is angry at his slain ex-wife and hopes to star in a new TV reality show.
"There are times I am angry at her," the former football star said in comments Fox News Channel planned to air Thursday night from his recent interview with Greta Van Susteren, who covered Simpson's 1994-95 trial on charges of murdering ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman....
"There are things that she could be doing with the kids better than I, you know? When, it's emotional stuff, especially with my daughter, I am angry with her," Simpson, 56, said of his former wife. "I am angry that she found herself hanging out with the group of -- who are these people?"
My God, man, what WAS Nicole Brown Simpson thinking that night? How could she have been so thoughtless as to allow O.J. to murder her and Ronald Goldman, thereby ruining O.J.'s life? Now O.J. is reduced to lurking around golf courses in Miami looking for a game while he tirelessly continues his "never-ending search" for his ex-wife's killer (yeah, right....)
Asked by Van Susteren about reports of his involvement in an upcoming reality show, Simpson said, "it's a takeoff on something called 'Punk'd,' " an MTV hidden-camera show featuring Ashton Kutcher pranks on celebrities. "It's me doing gags as Juice ... what they call 'juicing' people." Simpson earned the nickname Juice during his legendary career as a running back in the National Football League.
No more will we see Juice sprinting through airports in an Armani suit. No more will Simpson be the unofficial spokesperson for Bruno Magli shoes or Isotoner gloves. He will always be known as the 100th winner of the (often imitated, never duplicated) prestigious and elusive DUMB@$$ AWARD, and few deserve it more than he does. Remember, if it fits, you cannot acquit....
