It would be easier if you weren't on telly, mate

What the hell is OJ Simpson up to now? Not content with getting away with the most obvious murder since Hear'Say picked up microphones, he's now been arrested on suspicion of armed robbery.

Where the hell do you start with that one?

First and foremost, I can't believe a man who is that recognisable would do something so stupid. He's one of the most known faces in the world, let alone the US after his court case, so where's the logic in sticking a gun up someone's nose to nick their sports memorabilia? They're not exactly gonna say "Now where I have I seen him before?". The cops would be onto old OJ before he was in the foyer, the silly sod.

Then there's the act itself. Is he that much on the bones of his arse that he needs to start robbing now? I know his unbelievably distasteful book (where he describes in detail how he would have killed his wife and lover if he had done it) was pulled at the 11th hour, but surely he's still got a few quid knocking around? I'm not sure how popular he still is in the States, but I'm sure he could make a few bob on the after-dinner circuit, talking about his glittering football career if nothing else. The whole thing smacks of desperation and documents another downturn in the car crash that is OJ's life these days. Pillock.
