Am I the only person sick of hearing about OJ?

Question

I am sick I mean sick of hearing about OJ he is in jail and it looks like he going to be there for a long time.
Can we talk about something else for God's sake.
What I want to see is the media cover the Jena six as much as they do OJ.
There will be a peacful rally in Jena Thurdsay the day one of the Jena 6 Michael Bell will be sentenced.
If you cannot go per one radio show host

Please wear black that day in support of the Jena 6.
If you have not seen it here before or if you have no idea what I am ranting about here is another link:

The Jena 6 deserves the media attention we are wasting on OJ.

Answer 1

I've been sick of OJ since the day of that idiotic car chase ten years back.

Answer 2

OJ got away with murder..the Jena 6 are being unfairly persecuted

Answer 3

Most of the media, has already convicted him. Innocent until proven guility. They don't want to talk about anything else, but OJ.

Answer 4

O.J. is a diversion from McCann

I'm not sick of it, I just ignore it.

There are things that are far more important

Like our country and children's future. As we scream about lead in their toys, we are doing a bang up job ignoring their future and most importantly, our countries future as places like China, that plan, are beating the holy crap out of us in the market place.

Time to get your heads out of the tabloids and start demanding action from your reps, instead of worrying about things that do not affect the vast majority of us. Like flag burning, abortion, immigration, prayer in school ----------- and O.J..

When the crap finally falls, you will only have yourselves to blame.

Peace

Answer 5

Well OJ is behind bars for good then justice will finally be served

Answer 6

I am not sick of it, I'm glad that he is finally paying for those 2 people he murdered (even though the charges have nothing to do with that). He may get life :)

Answer 7

don't you remember? the blacks believed for years that oj didn't do it. mark these words, the same with the six. they did it! but, not for the reasons they are giving the world.
please bring plenty of money!

Answer 8

I'm glad someone finally put it down in writing!!
