who’s been worried about whether, in this post-9/11 world, what with the war, and the economy, and health care, and the general state of things, the cable news channels still had it in them to babble on and on (and on) about painful but not really very important OJ-type celebrity uglinesses?
You can imagine what a relief the last few days have been….

Nah, I can’t get enough of the O.J. story. As someone said recently on the radio, “The Packers and 49ers are 2-0 and O.J. is in jail…it’s 1994 all over again!”
Oh, and thanks for finally posting about something that’s low-brow enough for me to comment on… -
Dude. Raleigh’s!
(last one. thank you and good night.) -
I for one am starting to believe that the whole O.J. saga is really performance art. I think that 13 years ago, O.J. decided to devote the rest of his life to an ongoing commentary on race relations, the legal system, the role of sports in society, and celebrity culture.
Viewed in this context, the Bronco chase was a piece of guerrilla street theatre, “If I Did It” is a bold multilevel mindfuck on par with the best of Andy Kaufman, and this memorabilia-stealing bit is an insouciant little twist that would have amused Warhol or Duchamp.
Can you prove it’s not so? -
How can I prove it’s not so if I can’t even understand your big-brained post?!!
How?!!

Don’t play dumb with me, Vortex. I demand proof!

I was once insouciant. The carpet was breathing. It was crazy.
Also, I’m fighting the urge to say “don’t be a Duchamp bag” (even though you’ve done nothing wrong), and I’m losing that fight.

i agree, although you can say such about each neverending national news story that ‘captures’ our great nation’s conscious (see white girl disappears volume 67, chapter 2, para 8; or black athlete commits crime, same volume, chapter 6, para 21). not to belittle felony impacts, but the day our national news consistently covers/analyzes the most important issues of our time, i’ll, i’ll, i’ll, oh wait, wow, cnn is reporting that brittany did something crazy again. is her career really over? i have to know!
