Why is America so fascinated with OJ Simpson? People form an opinion about you based on whether or not you think OJ did it. What if you don't give damn (insert the F word or S word for more dramatic effect)? I personally don't really care all that much. 14 years ago when OJ killed those people. . . . I mean 14 years ago when the OJ trial was happening, I remember being a teenager and happy that he got off. But that was only because he was the only black person I ever saw in court not go to jail. Is that so wrong?
When I grew up a little bit I learned that famous people generally don't go to jail because the have money and fans. But after Marion Jones and Michael Vick went to jail I had to reassess that view (Watch your back Barry, they are coming for your steroid enhanced ass next). They both had excess money and fans and ended up in the pokey. I think this may be backlash from OJ getting off all those years ago. OJ messed up the free ride for famous black athletes in the justice system. Thanks OJ.
I must admit though, I am surprised that there hasn't been more backlash towards other groups of people. like say White movie directors.
Roman Polanski raped a teenager and jumped bail and no one seems to care. Actors in Hollywood today actively say the government should leave Roman Polanski alone and allow him to enter the country again. So he can get to the important task of making movies in a Hollywood studio again (don't invite him over Jack Nicholson, nothing good can happen). I have a sneaking suspicion that if Polanski's movies sucked no one would care if he went to jail. Too bad for OJ he couldn't carry the pigskin anymore when he did his dirt (allegedly).
Woody Allen married his daughter and he gets to make movie after movie with Scarlett Johansen. That ain't right. He sits court side at Knick games with his wife/daughter and people act like he isn't some deviant child molester. I guess its okay if you put a ring on it. When are we going to start holding movie directors accountable. White movie directors need to be held to the same standard as black athletes. I bet John singleton couldn't get away with that BS.
And don't get me started on the Kennedys. . . .

That is some funny shit..i will have to do a lil digging to get some other examples of ppl who should be messed with just as much as mike vick if not more for things they are doing. One that i can think of off top is fuckin Matt Jones. Receiver for Jacksonville who was found chopping up coke with a visa on Arkansas campus and allowed to continue to play, no drug test and then after the season was over he was suspended. Coke or dogs..both are illegal right? And why did no one say nothing bout that during the season incident, but Santonio Holmes makes headlines with weed smell in his car..!! wow.
