Do you all remember where you were/ what you were doing when 'the chase' started?

I was watching the NBA finals with my sister and her family in Tyler, Texas.

I was watching the NBA finals with my sister and her family in Tyler, Texas.

I was a groomsman in a wedding party in Chillicothe, Ohio, eating dinner at the bride's mama's house. I was also watching Rockets/Knicks 94 Finals.

The guys were taking bets on whether OJ was going to "off himself" in the bronco. I was just hoping it would be done by the games' 4th quarter.

Where was I - - -

I was in DC watching the NBA finals with my boyfriend and drinking some beer. We were totally tripping because OJ's daughter Arnelle went to Howard also, and she used to drive that dang white bronco when she was in DC.

Was living in Charlotte, N.C. and watching the NBA finals when Ohhhjjenthal and his trek took over the TV.

Again, because I have a fascination with bad taste, I think I will watch this.

I was at my aunt's house visiting with relatives who came in for my hs graduation. THE ENTIRE TRIP THEY WERE OBSESSED WITH OJ!!

i was at work in Dallas when i heard about it. i thought he killed his only, ie. first wife. i didn't realize there was a second wife and a new set of kids. as a result, i didn't expect all of the ensuing media frenzy. in my mind, i had he had killed the first wife, it wouldn't have been AS BIG a deal...

I was in middle school (8th grade) and all of my teachers were talking about it. It got to be such a huge deal that all of the 8th graders got to hear the verdict. They stopped class for an hour and let us crowd into two rooms.

Unfortunately the class was racially divided on the issue. The Minorities cheered but the Whites hissed. In our immaturity we felt like we won something that day.

OJ plugs reality show on wife's death anniversary
04/06/2004 - 14:46:39

OJ Simpson marked the forthcoming anniversary of his ex-wife’s killing by saying he was “angry” with her.

Simpson was found not guilty of Nicole Brown Simpson’s murder but was later deemed responsible for her death by a civil jury.

He said he was angered by her choice of friends and the way she dealt with their children.

“There are times I am angry at her. … There are things that she could [have been] doing with the kids,” he said in an interview.

The disgraced actor and former American football star also said Fred Goldman, whose son Ronald died next to Nicole, “got such opportunity from this with TV exposure”.

Simpson said he believed Michael Jackson would be found not guilty of the child abuse charges brought against him.

“I just have never seen that in him. I think Michael is just an affectionate guy toward kids,” he said.

Simpson, who used to take his children, Sydney and Justin, to Jackson’s Neverland Ranch in the 1990s, said the pop star was “asexual”.

During the interview on Fox, he also made inflammatory comments about rape, saying: “In my opinion, ‘date rape’ and ‘stranger rape’ are two different things entirely.”

“And when I was a kid growing up, just about every girl said ‘no’, once,” he said with a laugh.

“You know they had to because you’d think they were a slut or something.”

Simpson used the interview to plug a new reality TV show, which will see unsuspecting targets subjected to practical jokes.

He betta PRAY that his daughters never become victims of sexual assault or rape, whether it be by a stranger or a 'friend'. I bet his whole frigging attitude would change.

Dumb BASTID!!!!!

[mccoyred]

When did he have his nose job?

[Dionysus]

Wow! He has really aged!

I never knew he talked that "proper".

He gave me that "strange guy vibe" for the first time tonight.

Ohhhjjjj's talking proper came from years of diction and elocution lessons, taken while he was actively involved in TV. But that stuff eluded him, I remember reading, during the wildness...he was heard saying po-lice and stuh like that.
