[QUOTE=pool] This has got to be the stupidest thing I’ve ever fucking heard. He brutally murdered two people, Nicole Simpson’s head was almost severed from her head, but because you believe he won’t kill again that means no harm, no foul? [/QUOTE] There’s lots of people who go to prison for crimes they didn’t commit. That’s way worse than having a murderer who isn’t going to do it again walking around. Furthermore, there’s tons of murderers who get away with it every year who don’t get anyone’s dander up like OJ does. The fact that a black guy got away with killing two white people drives a lot of people crazy. I think the hypocrisy of it, and the _subconscious_ racism of it is funny. ---

I don’t get the race angle anymore. He’s blantantly rubbing our collective noses in the fact that he killed someone. Frankly, he’s so white-bread for a black guy that I usually don’t even internally recognize that he’s a black guy until someone points it out. ---

[QUOTE=you with the face] If folks would stop pissing blood everytime Orenthal trolled for attention, then maybe, just maybe, he’d go away and die penniless in a hovel somewhere. Every thread that is started about him only serves the media machine keeping food in his fridge. This thread and others like it act as free advertising for him. [/QUOTE] You didn’t really think this through before posting did you? OJ Simpson is not a poster on this messageboard. I’m not sure if you understand the concept of “free advertising” but OJ also is not a product and talking about him on a messageboard he’s never heard of benefits him, how? And even if so, who cares? Should we not discuss the antics of any humungous prick for fear that they might be able to play it up for cash? Were you hoping to make a lucrative career being a dick? Because if so, I’ll be sure to start a pit thread about you as well. ---

[QUOTE=Apos] I’m not sure if you understand the concept of “free advertising” but OJ also is not a product and talking about him on a messageboard he’s never heard of benefits him, how? [/quote] I’ll walk you through my logic. Please pay attention. OJ attempts to release a stupid book to make a whole bunch of money. This book is supposedly about how he’d commit murder. The success of this book (and other endeavors) depends on a buying public who considers him relevant and interesting. He is neither. You start a thread that is about this stupid book. The OP reads like a back cover summary of his book. You express outrage!, surprise!, and amazement! Which is exactly the reactions that OJ and his handlers were shooting for when they tried to foist this abomination on us. Why? Because it gets people talking and specifically, it gets them talking about him. Such talks gives the impression that OJ is relevant and interesting. But he is neither. BTW, OJ is very much a product. He sells himself every time he gets paid to do an interview or make an appearance. But unlike other celebrities, he produces absolutely nothing. > [@](#): > > And even if so, who cares?

Yeah sometimes innocent people go to prison for crimes they didn’t commit, that is completely irrelevant to the fact that murderer is walking free. Who gives a rat’s ass if he doesn’t kill anybody else? Are you saying that any murderer who kills someone but won’t kill again should not do prison time? Besides you can’t really know for sure he won’t or hasn’t killed again. Maybe if he killed one person you could argue that point , but he killed two people. Yeah people who wish this slimeball who murdered two people went to prison are real racists. You are officially the dumbest fuck I have ever conversed with.
