In the News

OJ Simpson.

OK, it's not that often that I talk about something completely unrelated to my life, but I'm going to take a stab at it, just because I feel like not talking about me.

Juice is a thug. Somehow because he's famous, he played in the NFL, and he was in Capricorn One and the Naked Gun trilogy...we think he's exempt from being classified a thug. Nope...sorry. The dude killed his wife--or had her killed (who knows). He's had all sorts of run-ins with domestic disputes and whatnot. Now he's kidnapped someone and stolen crap. Yippee ki yay muthafucka. Just put the scumbag in jail for disturbing the peace by taking up so much of our valuable time in the media by being a douchenozzle. Case closed. That brings up an interesting point.

Back in the day when I used to be more politically/religiously-charged, I'd find it ridiculous how atheists would complain about suffering religious persecution and personal damage because religious monuments would be erected (I said it) in government buildings. For one thing, the 'monuments' were just sitting there like a rock--mainly because they were a rock. Two, the monuments usually were out of the way and didn't obstruct the flow of people walking through the building. Yet these asswhiners usually won. So my thing is I wonder if I could sue various media outlets for personal and psychological damage and distress for being bombarded by crap like OJ, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and Lindsay Lohan. Stuff that's absolutely pointless, has no effect on my life, and really isn't news. Would I win? I should. My brain is under serious duress here! I mean, yeah, I could sue my employer for airing it since I work in the TV industry, but I like my employer. Aside from occasionally getting blamed for something I didn't do--like airing a bad take for a commercial in which I ran into my foot with the camera. But that's another story.
