It would have been better if he had been shot multiple times, banged his head against a pipe, burnt his hand on a hot stove, got paint on his jacket, get his hand smashed by a window slamming shut, fall face first into a wedding cake, step into a bear trap, and fall into the ocean and drowned. ---

I liked him as an actor. But I _believe_ he murdered his wife and Ronald Goldman. Hence, Curly Bill Brocius. ---

> [@Q.Q.Switcheroo](#): > > Cancer: “If I did it…” …then Fox will air a one-hour interview with Cancer about it, and air it against ABC’s _9-1-1_. (“Huh?” Fox did an interview with Simpson that dealt mainly with his book, but didn’t air it until something like 10 years later - "coincidentally’ on the same night that ABC aired its first episode of the long-running Fox series _American Idol_. By coincidence, _9-1-1_ has also moved from Fox to ABC.) ---

> [@Pleonast](#): > > That said, OJ wasn’t wrong about racism among the police. OJ was a shitty poster boy for that cause. I recall reporting at the time that OJ was lionized by the police, and was treated with kid gloves during the multiple domestic disturbance calls by his fanboys in blue. “OMG, it’s OJ!” Racism among the police was well-established. OJ suffered none of it. ---

> [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > I saw a several hours long documentary about his life (can’t remember what it was called, but it was extensive), now I despise him and don’t have any tears to shed over his death, but damn, I liked him in Naked Gun.
