The Oj Simpson verdict makes it into a video game. Really.
Submitted by Mr. Michael Vass a contributing author.
Call me naive, but I just had no idea how much obsession is tied to OJ Simpson. Yes there can’t be a murder (involving a Black male) that makes the news and not have a reference to OJ. Yes there isn’t a murder of wives that goes by without a comment involving him. I don’t expect better form the media.
But I would never have guessed that a video game would jump on that band wagon. Obviously I am wrong. Larry Brown Sports has found a connection and it’s in a football video game. The game is All-Pro Football 2K8, featuring several greats of the game from yesteryear. OJ Simpson is one of the players featured.
The key is the Grim reaper figure with a knife, and the knife featured on the team screen for OJ. Isn’t that cute?
It’s official, OJ has surpassed Lizzie Borden and become the Jack the Ripper of modern America.
Moral commentary in a video game. Who knew.
Of course I’m just waiting for the Scott Peterson Poker tournament, the Son of Sam FPS, and L.A. police department action game (a la Rodney King).
