A picture is more than thousand words:

Thanks to the Wizard of Odds for sharing with us the latest example of Trojan class.

I don't need to add anything more to this.

This is all yours.

GO BRUINS.

I think it was a joke...

But a joke in poor taste perhaps.

A joke in 'poor taste'?

What's your problem with OJ?

He was acquitted! Just like all those other USC players...

For the record

Winston Justice, and Rey Mauluga were charged and convicted. Reggie Bush is a slime ball, but technically didn't break the law. As far as the rapists are concerned, they were never charged so technically they can't be aquitted. But they all still got off after raping someone so that sucks.

Totally tasteless, classless, vulgar...

Of all the causes out there for these idiots to advocate, they chose this one. They have absolutely no concept of the significance of their statement.

Explain again

why you're surprised at something classless coming from justsc?

Bummer

That wasn't the full video. I saw it last night. It was very funny.

I was watching Daily Show

and they were talking about OJ.

They said since the first one was a murder, and it was

"If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit."

and this one is a robbery, the defense should say

"If it really was his shit, you must acquit."

haha what a joke oj

Looks like a photoshop to me

looks like they are on the side of a basketball court and their size relative to the people right behind is not even close.

Hmmm

Could be, but I don't think so.

Look, kids in college do dumb things. They probably think this is a very funny, ha-ha joke. But the guy is a double murderer and just about cut his wife's head clean-off. It wasn't funny when they were getting killed and it won't ever be funny to the families.

Even though we all do stupid things (and perhaps do even dumber things while in college), I find it hard to joke about an unremorseless, sociopathic double murderer. If this is real, it is beyond tasteless.

i don't disagree....

that it is stupid, and something that SC students would do. I too have been stunned how many fans at the Mosileum still wear OJ jerseys.

Not to legitimize these kids, but it was 13 years ago that he killed the two and 11 years since the acquittal. Kids in college don't remember the chase and trial and evidence (pictures of two people nearly decapitated). I'm sure I have made some Son of Sam jokes that would be offensive to residents of Manhattan in 77.

Regardless, if you look at the picture, it looks like a fake to me. It looks like the kids are cropped. The lighting and focus are not consistent between the idiots and background. Also it looks like they are sitting on the end of a scorers table from a basketball court rather than the sideline of the Coliseum.

Fair points

And it does, indeed, look like a scorers table.

by Barnes2JJ on Sep 27, 2007 9:52 PM PDT up reply actions

As much as I would like...

to think that this was a Photoshop job, and that these kids couldn't possibly be that idiotic, I don't think this is a doctored image. The lighting and reflections around their heads correspond perfectly with the stadium lighting. Also the proportions seem to be about right relative to the other people.

Perhaps they thought they were being funny. Such is life at $C though. Pretty much anything goes... Sad.

Hmmm

It could be padding on the wall. A few years ago a receiver was injured running into the wall at the Rose Bowl, and the next week there was padding up there. Perhaps they did the same thing at the Coliseum.

I don't think their size is unrealistic, though the light on them is odd.
