It Slices, It Dices … Now, What Would You Pay?
We already know what we want for next Christmas - the new O.J. Simpson video.
Simpson spent some time around the holiday filming the two-hour tape, in which he again declares his innocence in his ex-wife’s murder.
During one segment outside his Brentwood estate, Simpson told the camera there was so little blood found on his Bronco’s dashboard that “I can literally sneeze in my hand and rub it around that console, and you would probably have more DNA.”
According to the television show Day & Date, the video will include an interview conducted by a Los Angeles television personality, done without any coaching from Simpson’s attorneys.
Word is Simpson will push the final product in an infomercial, for the amazing low price of $29.95.
