If I stole it...OJ takes another stab at celebrity

by David Holtzman

Q: What does OJ Simpson have in common with Richard Nixon?
A: They both tape themselves

Sorry that wasn't funny, but it is kind of bizarre, isn't it? Two people, beleaguered, besieged and more or less hated by a lot of people who allow, no--encourage, tapes around themselves. Why would they do this? (funnier answer: They're both Dicks)

I can only assume that unpopular, yet famous people long for vindication more than anything (other than not being in jail maybe). I knew that politicians often take refuge in the idea of historical reputation wiping, but I guess all celebrities must console themselves that way sometimes.

It's interesting that as sensors pop up everywhere, people willingly invade their own privacy and tape themselves (or allow themselves to be taped). I suppose that it's similar to the invasion of the reality shows. If OJ goes to jail for real on these theft charges and the main evidence is that tape, how ironic (and stupid) will that have been? You can hear OJ here.

Okay , here are my favorite OJ jokes:


How do you find O.J. on the Internet?
Type : slash...backslash...backslash...backslash...escape

What did St. Peter say to Nicole Simpson when she got to heaven?
Your waiter will be along in a minute.

Q: What did O.J. ask after acquittal?
A: To be moved to Arkansas.
Why?
Because he heard that everyone has the same DNA there.

Q. What's the difference between John F. Kennedy and Nicole Simpson?
A. We're not 100% sure who killed JFK.
