Well, this would be funny if it wasn’t so horrible.
O.J. Simpson created an uproar Wednesday with plans for a TV interview and book titled “If I Did It” - an account the publisher pronounced “his confession” and media executives condemned as revolting and exploitive.
Fox, which plans to air an interview with Simpson Nov. 27 and 29, said Simpson describes how he would have committed the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman, “if he were the one responsible.”
If. Alrighty then.
Nearly seven years after a dormitory fire killed three students at Seton Hall University, two former roommates pleaded guilty Wednesday to arson, admitting for the first time that they set a banner ablaze in a prank that tragically got out of hand.
A prank. Purposely setting fire to a banner draped over a couch, alerting no one to the blaze, running from the law for years, living life as if nothing had happened, while 3 kids are dead, a bunch more are burned and still suffering, and others live with the memory of that night and the horror of it daily. (I take this one a bit personally- one of the kids that died is from our town.)
I won’t be going to the book club tonight. Something really sucky has come up.
I’m trying to visit as many of the NaBloPoMo blogs as I can and I thought I’d say hi, I liked your blog.. :) Yeah I think both of these are pretty disgraceful. I bet those roommates are quite relieved, it must have been a heck of a secret to carry around. I can’t imagine it. :(
Something sucky on TOP of those two stories? What a day–I hope today is going better.
I heard about the OJ thing….give me a break! Oh my….the fire/confession story is something else. And there’s something else that’s sucky going on today?? Hope things get better.
