First of all, it takes some big hairy man-balls to be gutsy enough to donate the suit you wore when you were acquitted of your former wife’s murder. It’s surprising that O.J. didn’t have the snappy “if it does not fit, you must acquit” catchphrase embroidered onto the back. Some may venture to say that O.J. didn’t really give a toss that Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman are dead. But that’s just wild speculation based on their bloody murders and the series of court cases following said murders.
The Smithsonian Institution rejected the attempted donation – and that’s saying something. The Smithsonian will take a 100 year-old piece of dirt if they think it has historical significance. But the institution won’t accept memorabilia from one of the most televised and watched court cases of the past 20 years? It must not mean much to the Smithsonian that a brutha chopped up his wife and homey, only to get away with it. Not like that ever happens anywhere.
According to the New York Times, the decision to donate the suit was announced Tuesday. It was the day after a judge approved the donation as the solution to a battle over the suit. O.J. Simpson was most likely in a hard battle to keep the suit so he could get it dipped in gold and have “HA HA, I DID IT A**HOLES!” carved across it. That fella is classy.
