There are some pretty sick kids working over at News Corp. They’re the ones behind the O.J. Simpson freakshow that will air on Fox over the thanksgiving holiday, Nov. 26 & 27. There is supposedly a book as well.
I refuse to waste many more heartbeats thinking about it so I’ll be brief. At some point, a genius at Rupert Murdoch’s shop decided it would be a good idea to get OJ Simpson to, in lieu of a confession, fabricate some morbid story describing how he would have (hypothetically) committed the infamous double homicide.
There is almost nothing new to say about OJ Simpson so we’ll leave that alone. The really twisted part is that somebody at Fox committed resources to put together this “show” to air over the holiday. OJ’s sickness speaks for itself. And so does the pathological state that exists in the “newsroom” at Fox. Some cynical producer imagined that among their viewers there is enough prurient, gawking, morbid interest in this that the market share in viewers would bring a handsome profit to them.
Fox will make some lame-ass statement that the pubic demands this crap and that they are just giving us what they want. Fox and News Corp have just shown us who they really are and what they think of us.

The sad thing is that there actually is enough prurient, gawking and morbid interest in this sort of thing (at least the media seems to thing so, and not just News Corp unfortunately). How else can you explain the public’s interest in ‘Britney and K-Fed’ or ‘Brangelina’ or ‘TomKat’ or the runaway bride, the list goes on and on…
Yeah, you’re probably right. I suppose that I do not want to believe it. I think that we misplace our scorn on the “Networks”. We blame the faceless, vitreous mass we call “Television” when instead we should hold producers and writers accountable for the awful content we see. Afterall, we collectively own the electromagnetic sprectrum. We should be more jealous in allocating it to these imbeciles.
