O.J. Simpson: Society's Scorpion
As long as there's blood money to be made, the former Hall of Fame running back and acquitted murderer O.J. Simpson will continue to callously exploit the memories of his victims, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
Mr. White Ford Bronco himself.
So, what's the ex-football player, Leslie Nielson's Naked Gun sidekick, and homicidal sociopath doing lately?
Why, he's working hard, making money from the murders of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, of course. In a book he wrote entitled If I Did It, an unrepentant O.J. fantasizes in gory detail how he murdered his wife. "It's all blood money, and unfortunately I had to join the jackals," The author said . "It helped me get out of debt and secure my homestead." Only In America, folks.
O.J.'s callous words reminds me of that old joke about how a young man accused of killing his parents pleads for clemency because, as he explains to an incredulous judge, "I'm an orphan".
Anyway, as P.T. Barnum was right when he said "You'll never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public", If I Did It was going to be aggressively promoted by Mr. Barnum's sleazy 21st century counterpart, Rubert Murdoch. His network has dumped garbage like When Animals Attack, Who Wants To Marry A Multimillionaire, Temptation Island, and Who's Your Daddy? into people's living rooms for years. Why should Judith Regan interviewing O.J. on a Fox TV special be any different?
Oops.
This time, people remembered they had a gag reflex. Bookstores across the country refused to carry If I Did It, Fox couldn't find advertisers greedy or crazy enough to buy time on the TV show, and even Bill O'Reilly, one of Rubert Murdoch's favorite sock puppets, was outraged. The embarrassed media mogul reluctantly realized that the If I Did It project was as dead as Ron and Nicole.
Now, before we get hurt patting ourselves on the back, let's not forget the punch line of this sick tabloid joke: O.J. is still an acquitted murderer, and a free man. There's no uplifting Happy Ending here.
If we lived in a world that made sense, O.J. would either be strapped on a gurney waiting for a fatal injection from a hypodermic needle with his name on it, or in jail. Instead, we can see him getting drunk in a nightclub somewhere with his arm around a half-naked Nicole look-alike.
As a child, I heard a fable about a scorpion and a water buffalo. The scorpion wanted to cross a river and said to the water buffalo: "This river is too wide and too deep for me. Can I ride across on your back?"
"No," the water buffalo replied. "If I let you get on my back, you will sting me and I will die."
"But that would be a stupid thing for me to do," the scorpion said. "If I sting you and you drown, I will drown as well."
Conceding to the scorpion's logic, the water buffalo allowed him to mount his back. Halfway across the river, the scorpion did sting him. Dying, the water buffalo said to the scorpion: "I don't understand. Now both of us will die. Why did you sting me?"
"I am a scorpion," he replied. "it is my nature to sting."
Sounds like O.J., doesn't it?
However, unlike the scorpion in the fable, O.J. won't die.
He'll calmly walk on water watching his victims drown. O.J. is a cruel predator who really doesn't care how much pain the vulgar circus tricks he does in public brings to his children, Nicole's sister, or the Goldman family. He's done it before and, as long as people keep paying him, he'll do it again. It's his nature.
