well then you should stop complaining cus with with your comments here we added a 5 and a Z

“[A]t least one journalist started checking under the hood of his megastar persona, and now the chickens have come home to roost.”

and with that, Kinja gets one step closer to the experience of sitting on a CB radio in the Flying J parking lot.

Oh, also, The Rock apparently pees in water bottles to save time and possibly hands his urine bottles off to assistants or PAs to deal with, but that was already sort of public knowledge?

Capitalism isn’t any more inherently rational than any other economic system or any less likely to fall prey to regular human foibles like greed, stupidity and outright narcissism. Hell, it has a penchant for rewarding them. I mean, currently Elon Musk is the poster-boy for that, but there’s endless examples of…

I’m going to continue getting confused when people refer to Coop in this show and don’t mean Kyle Maclachlan.

Ditto. Why?

There have been a few good essays lately on this site since the sale. I’m hoping it a sign of things to come.  

It was one of those things where, if the case was purely on the DNA evidence, he would absolutely have been convicted. It was so damning and somewhat understandably, part of Clark’s hubris came from that, thinking she had an ironclad case and thinking she essentially had it won before the first gavel.

I love a personal essay, especially about pop culture.

Great article. I grew up in Buffalo as well; I believe the apartments you refer to were in Amherst near Maple Rd/Ridge Lea. I played baseball there at the Mel Ott fields. Met OJ twice; once on my 9th birthday at Suburban Lanes; he was actually bowling with AC Cowlings and they both signed autographs for us. Next was…

The scene in The People V. O. J. Simpson where Clark walks into the courtroom so proud of her new hair, and then realizes people are laughing at her, was devastating. I’ve had more sympathy for her since, but yeah, she still screwed up.

This was rather good, so I expect AVC to fire Todd within the next few weeks.

Marcia Clark has always struck me as essentially well-meaning and who tried her best at times during the trial but who was arrogant and full of hubris early on in the case before making a series of key errors throughout it which only compounded the snowballing the disaster.

The weirdest part was that all the bungling prosecutors and cops who hopelessly fucked up everything about the case were later hailed as experts and became cable news darlings.

The trial happened when I was in primary school and I followed along with it from Australia where we’d get the first updates each day on the morning radio while having breakfast or going to school.

I would 100% like more articles like this, please.

Great essay! I live in Buffalo right now and get it. I nearly hung up on someone from the bank when they asked if I felt the earthquake after seeing my state address. Nothing good happens to this city. Even the eclipse was a bust due to clouds. I’m a little younger, but I remember when grandma died, my eight-year-old…

This is the best thing I have read from the AV Club in a long, long time. Beautiful, heartbreaking essay!

hey, we can't ALL be Tim Curry.
