Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
At this exact time 22 years ago, OJ Simpson was being escorted chased by the LAPD. It's the event that changed the news media into what it is today. There's an excellent "30 for 30" documentary highlighting a lot of what went down on that day. There's also a 7+ hour "30 for 30" dedicated to OJ Simpson currently airing on ESPN.

So for those that remember, where were you during the chase? What are your memories of the trial? What were you doing when the verdict was announced.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

I was in a MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station) waiting room in Dallas, awaiting the results of the tests the Army made me go through. As usual I hadn't paid much attention to current events and it took me a few minutes to figure out why so many people were celebrating. Later I realized that it was because a lot of people are idiots.
