OJ Shows Us All What's What

This simply defies all logic, common sense, and decency:
From MSNBC.com: Fox plans to broadcast an interview with O.J. Simpson in which the former football star discusses “how he would have committed” the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, for which he was acquitted, the network said.

The two-part interview, titled “O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened,” will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29, the TV network said.

Why? I mean...why? It's impossible to imagine his thought process. He must have some kind of undiagnosed mental illness or delusion. There can be no other explanation why an acquitted murderer would go on national TV and discuss how he would have killed his ex-wife and her friend if he did it.

Here's a funny way to describe this madness:

Hypothetically, let’s say you murdered two people in the early 90’s. Then, hypothetically, a jury of your peers found you Not Guilty despite damning DNA evidence and an alibi with more holes in it than an old pair of gym socks. Hypothetically, let’s say that regardless of the verdict, everybody still suspects you did it (oh, side note: hypothetically, you were one hell of a running back in the NFL, but that’s besides the point.) Wouldn’t you, hypothetically, write a book about how you would’ve done it (if you did it), and appear in a TV special titled If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened. You would, right? Hypothetically.

Well, O.J. would. And he is, during a two-part interview scheduled to air on Fox. Their website already has a killer sneak peek, with O.J. declaring “I don’t think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood,” before breaking down in tears. Hypothetical tears, I think.

So set your TIVO’s for November 27 & 29. Fox has dubbed it “the interview that will shake the nation.” Because “the interview that will sneak up on the nation and stab them numerous times” would be just a little too much. Hypothetically.

Didn't OJ at one point say that he would devote all his time and money to finding the real killer? Maybe this is his way of saying he found the guy--hypothetically.
