Pass (on) the OJ, please.

I remember watching the Low Speed Chase in 1994. It took up more of my day than it really should have.

I remember Kato Kaelin, Judge Ito, Robert Shapiro and even that Simpson was seeing a Playboy model when he was accused of the double murder. Why do we remember these names and faces so many years after the fact? Why did we all become media zombies, tuning in to watch OJ coverage day after day after day?

Even now, more than a decade after the trial, we're still trying to cash in on this guys media-worthiness. A story in the Review Journal is trying hard to get me to care that OJ Simpson is trying to get released on an appeal bond.

Simpson was convicted of stealing sports memorabilia last year and is serving time in Northern Nevada. It just doesn't have the sex appeal of a murder case, sorry RJ.

I think(hope) Simpson has lost that certain something that captured the nation just a few short years ago, but, if you insist on trying to milk the poor guy for ratings, you're going to need Mark Furhman and Johnnie Cochran. It wouldn't hurt to thrown some racial tension in the mix guys.

I mean, Simpson wasn't the only factor of that circus that made for good viewing. If you're going to assault us with mind candy, make sure you include all the ingredients.
