The O.j. Simpson Sideshow Is Back

Sep 28 2007

A man in a chicken suit. A Nicole Brown Simpson look-alike. A judge with a goatee and a long ponytail.
These are just some of the characters of "O.J. TV", a reality show on all the news channels this past week.
It followed every twist, turn and lane change as a former football star appeared in court, posted bail and was driven away. The circus surrounding O.J. Simpson, charged with committing armed robbery of sports memorabilia at a casino hotel, was reminiscent of the media frenzy when he was accused and later acquitted of murdering his ex-wife and her friend. This time around, though, his part sometimes becomes secondary in a colorful, confusing story that includes new characters and some familiar old ones.
