O.J. Simpson Dead From Cancer at 76


Recommended Posts

This post on ResetERA really captures the significance of this case:

The arguable beginnings of reality tv and bringing 'true crime' into the modern era

 

The socioeconomic and race aspect; the no matter how poor and marginalized you are if you're successful enough you can also get away with murder…the real American dream.

 

OJ was a murderer in a system that enables fucked up cases of domestic violence to escalate to this level.

 

Its like, I wish I could be like rest in piss and be done with it, but man…OJ Simpson was really a portrait of the inner core of American darkness that the tv show and documentary made really good arguments on.

 

 

This one too:

That trial was basically a nexus of everything the American Justice system is poor at handling: celebrity, race, social status, corrupt cops, domestic abuse, scientific reasoning, you name it.

My experience serving on a jury last year confirms this. All of this.

One to your local Ford dealer, the other to that great dealer in the sky

Bronco Sport owners are having some trouble today, as Ford recalled 22,270 of the compact crossovers (alongside 20,382 Escapes) for possible cracked fuel injectors. One famed Bronco owner, however, has things even worse: The family of OJ Simpson confirmed his death at age 76 this morning, following a battle with cancer.

 

Simpson was known for his skill as a running back for the Buffalo Bills, and also for not fitting into a glove back in 1995. Perhaps his biggest contribution to car culture, however, came from his slow-speed chase in a white Ford Bronco the year prior — a chase that contributed to the death of Bronco line, and established a close link between the two household names. The Bronco and the Juice go hand in hand.

 

It’s fitting, then that the day of OJ’s death should also be a dark day for the Bronco line. No matter how much Ford has tried to separate the two, you can’t really divorce the SUV from the Isotoner not-owner. If you don’t believe me, go out and buy yourself a white Bronco. See how long it takes the comments to start rolling in.
