And so it begins: Bobby Cutts is our new OJ Simpson

[CatWoman]

I normally change the channel after Keith, but was prevented from doing so.

All Bobby all the time. :puke:

I really, truly feel sorry for Jessie Davis, her child, her unborn child, and her family.

Having said that, I don't relish having this story rammed down my throat the rest of the summer.

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home

But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

1. Amen

Its an awful story, but i am not looking forward to a Lacy Peterson story. People can stand this crap but they can't stand Darth Cheney taking over the gov't. If We don't fix that then there will be no trial and innocent till proven guilty (like there is now? :sarcasm) There is much more important news out there and the media will not cover it.

[tularetom]

15. Oh no, this will be worse than lacy peterson

Bobby Cutts = scary black guy vs. Scott Peterson = all amurkin boy next door

I plan on totally avoiding all cable news for the next 6 months except Countdown. That ghoul Dan Abrams already started up with an hour (a fuckin hour) devoted to this.

This is really a non story. An asshole with kids all over the place with a shitload of different women, freaks out over the possibility of yet another kid and offs one of his girlfriends. He was suspected immediately, arrested as soon as the body was discovered and has reportedly confessed. Nothin to see here folks, move along.

[CatWoman]

17. bingo!!!!

gotta play up that race angel, ya know!!

2. ewww, they just showed his ex-girlfriend on MSNBC

She's coming up next. I guess we saw that coming. She was interviewed before they found that poor woman's body and she was getting face time on the cameras. She'll get a lot of it now. :eyes:

[CatWoman]

11. it appears that these women didn't waste any time in getting

pregnant with his children, especially the first girlfriend :shrug:

[HughBeaumont]

31. Apparently, more than a few imdb'ers caught her lying about her age on her entry . . .

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1650085/

Before, her birth year was listed as 1984, yet she has a 10 year old daughter. OK, so we're supposed to believe you were knocked up by Shawn Kemp at age 13??? Shawn Kemp is a lot of things, but a child molester he isn't.

So they corrected it to 1977, which makes a little more sense. And I'm guessing the Shawn Kemp child support paid for those . . . things.

Why do these D-listers feel they need to lie about their ages in the internet era? People, you're GONNA get caught. Simple as that.

Kind of makes me wonder about that "genius IQ" thing . . .

[slj0101]

34. Yeah, I noticed that the other day.

This'll really generate some hits on her website. :sarcasm:

[rocktivity]

3. I don't think so

The media may try to push it, but the difference is that the court of public opinion didn't WANT to convict OJ.

:headbang:

[Jackpine Radical]

7. Jeez, Rocknation. You always come up with the WEIRDEST graphics.

That winking skull creeps me out

[rocktivity]

27. "Winky, the Friendly Skull" is the mascot for my hard rock/metal website

I loved the idea of taking the symbol of every negative stereotype about heavy metal--and completely obliterating them in the wink of an eye! It's meant to be fun, not creepy! And it's why I've gotten into trouble with some online advertisers about my adbanners--sorry, but "No one's head shall stand taller than Winky's!"

:headbang:

[Jackpine Radical]

39. Wel, I WAS being a bit overdramatic with that "creeps me out" bit.

And I've had a look at your website now & again. Haven't for a while, though. I'll have to get back to it soon.

[TheWraith]

35. Huh? The court of public opinion DID convict OJ. NT

[Bucky]

45. Shhhh. You keep your accurate recollections to yourself.

The people love OJ. They even named a drink after him.

[spanone]

4. Didn't a couple of hundred people get blown up in Iraq today? so it goes.

[Jackpine Radical]

5. From out of the bug-infested muskeg bogs of the far north comes

the plaintive cry,

"Hoodafuk is Bobby Cutts?

Who is this Jessie person? Or, as seems to be the case, who WAS this Jessie person?"

[CatWoman]

8. take your pick

[Canuckistanian]

12. Hey! I grew up in a bug-infested northern muskeg bog

Don't you be dissin' muskeg bogs....

[Jackpine Radical]

20. I probably grew up on the southern end of that same bog, eh?

[Canuckistanian]

22. I thought I recognized you

Ah, the good old days - leaches, mosquitoes, the mud between my toes. I think I've got something in my eye....

[Jackpine Radical]

43. The questionable phrase above, of course, is

"probably grew up." Mostly, my wife questions whether I ever did that.

Leeches, mosquitoes, mud, things in your eye--until you put it that way, I never really appreciated how much home was like the rice paddies in Vietnam. Except for the ice, of course.

[Canuckistanian]

6. What's the story on Cutts?

Never mind. If this is the new OJ or a pregnant blonde is involved - forget it.

[CatWoman]

9. link(s)_at post 8.

[Canuckistanian]

16. Thanks

Well, not really. I could care less.

No, really.

Ok, I'll look, just to satisfy you.

[CatWoman]

18. *smooch*

:hi:

[Canuckistanian]

23. .

:blush:

[Catherine Vincent]

10. His girlfriend had a child from this guy also?

[CatWoman]

yup

and she was only with him a few months before getting pregnant. :shrug:

[Zomby Woof]

13. As long as he isn't the new Cindy Sheehan

:evilgrin:

[CatWoman]

14. ZOMBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:hi:

:loveya:

[Zomby Woof]

19. I hijacked your bicycle thread!

Just like old times with the Three Assholes! :loveya:

[alcibiades_mystery]

21. You just know, that in some newsroom, just as the news of the disappearance

came over the wires, the scene went something like this:

SCENE: Newsroom, Atlanta, Patterson, or New York. WHITE FORTY-SOMETHING NEWS PRODUCER sits at conference table, eating out of a bowl of goldfish crackers and checking out the tits of his college intern, MELANIE. Ten youngish news writers lounge around the table in various states of disinterest. ASSISTANT GO GETTER enters with a print-out from an affiliate in Ohio.

ASSISTANT GO GETTER: Big Man, you're gonna wanna see this.

(Slides over paper. WHITE FORTY-SOMETHING NEWS PRODUCER reads over it with slitted eyes, a smile growing widers as his eyes move down the page)

WHITE FORTY-SOMETHING NEWS PRODUCER: Holy shit, guys. You're gonna love this! We got a missing PREGNANT woman in Ohio! Missing, and pregnant. And WHITE. And kinda hot.

YOUNGISH NEWS WRITER #1: Do we have pics? I can check Flickr...

YOUNGISH NEWS WRITER #2: That Kansas City killing last week kinda fizzled, didn't it? With the way they found her so fast and arrested that creepo? (Aside: I went to Bard College for THIS?)

WHITE FORTY-SOMETHING NEWS PRODUCER: But this is gonna be the gift that just keeps on giving....You ready for this, guys? You ready? The boyfriend - Yeah Jimmy, you know I'm gonna say IT! - the boyfriend is....alright, drumroll here...

(ASSISTANT GO GETTER assists with pencil drumroll)

WHITE FORTY-SOMETHING NEWS PRODUCER: The boyfriend is...BUUUUUUH----LLLLLLLLACK! Boo-yah, bitches!

ASSISTANT GO GETTER: Boo-fuckin'-yah, dizzawg!

WHITE FORTY-SOMETHING NEWS PRODUCER: This baby's gonna keep 'em glued to the set for the whole summ-ahhhh, gnawm sayin'? gnaw mean? And you know this, MAAAAAN. Where my dawgs at?

YOUNGISH NEWS WRITERS: Woof Woof.

WHITE FORTY-SOMETHING NEWS PRODUCER: The boyfriend is black, son. You feel me? Oh, it gets bettah. He's also a fucking COP. Watch me now.

(All dance...fade to black)

[Bucky]

50. Did you have this all written up before hand?

How long have you been waiting for a crime like this just to post this thing? And why the hell aren't you working in Hollywood?

[alcibiades_mystery]

56. Nahhh

Took three minutes.

Hollywood has Paris in it...

;-)

[Pirate Smile]

24. Message to Dan Abrahms - you tried a crime show after Olberman with

Rita Cosby and it tanked.

Scarborough actually did decent because they talked about politics and the War, etc. right after Keith ended. Going back to your crime crap will kill that time slot. Can't he hear the TV stations flipping off? He is losing the viewers from his lead in - the most popular show on MSNBC. :eyes:

[H2O Man]

25. Even better!

He's OJ and Mark Fuhrman combined!

[CatWoman]

26. he's one b-a-a-a-a-d mother

SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!!

But I'm talkin bout Cutts!!

Can you dig it???

:hi:

[trumad]

28. D'oh...

[CatWoman]

30. LOL -- Black Homer

a "Bomer", or is that "Ho-J"?

:rofl:

[H2O Man]

40. Can you

answer the question before I even ask it? I have full confidence that you can.

[trumad]

42. Ornethal..(sp)

[Bucky]

46. So you're saying he framed himself for a crime he'd already committed?

Coming up next: a DU discussion thread on whether cops should be allowed to carry guns.
.

[H2O Man]

54. No.

I didn't say that. You did.

[Bucky]

55. I was making a joke.

I may not have made it well. But for me, if play off your original observation, that usually means I'm agreeing with it.

In this case, I am.

[kurth]

29. He'll plead guilty and it'll be all over

[Bucky]

47. Man, that would suck.

What'll we obsess about next summer instead of his trial if he does that?

[rurallib]

32. Must be something that Bushco needs a diversion from

bad news coming? CIA history perhaps?

[rasputin1952]

33. The way it should go....Man accused of murder, charges ...

brought, jury decides guilt/innocence, man convicted/exonerated, life in prison w/o parole if convicted of 1st degree murder.

This, however will be dragged out forever...you can follow the slime trail Nancy Grace will leave, and she'll help to keep this going throughout the Summer. If Cutt's farts, Grace will be there w/the details, type of fart, length of odor in air, how many people noticed...we all know the drill...and for those not already sick of this case, there will be commentaries at 5 minute intervals...:(

To be sure, this was a heinous crime, and if guilty, Cutt's needs to be tossed into prison until he rots...but the sensationalism will drive this like a circus wagon...enought o make one wonder just what the media is thinking...x(

On PBS tonight, Lehrer had 20 soldiers that died recently, but no one seemed to notice...:cry:

:patriot:

[TheWraith]

36. Indeed. Well spoken. NT

[Bucky]

49. Probably the trial won't even start until next summer

The made for TV movie about this case ("Stalked by my Baby Daddy" staring Blair Underwood and Mare Winningham) will be out before he stands trial.

[rasputin1952]

52. Well...he's not going anywhere, and waiting for the trial can...

be as devasting as the trial itself.

He might not even make it to trial...depends on who is in jail w/him, and how well he is protected.

[JI7]

37. the same media that gives more attention to missing white women

are the ones that will really get off on this. in this case suspect is a black man so they will be all over this for sure.

i didn't hear much on that conviction of the KKK guy that killed some black men some decades ago.

remember New Orleans and Katrina ? this media made the story into those "coloreds" looting rather than on the failure by the govt to prevent it.

[ariesgem]

41. I'll NEVER forget how MSM covered Katrina. Remember Wolf Blitzer's - "THEY'RE SOOO BLACK!!! "

comment, or the black people looting vs white people finding stories.

The MSM will always find an excuse to portray us (black folks) as violent, sex-crazed animals.

[DemReadingDU]

38. Paris Hilton is out of jail

a diversion from Bobby Cutts

[ComerPerro]

44. so I take it Bobby Cutts is some guy who killed his wife. Probably the next Scott Peterson

Not so much OJ, because the thing about his case is that we actually knew who he was *before* the crime

[brentspeak]

48. He's already confessed to the murders.

With Simpson, there was a long, convoluted trial.

[Bucky]

53. Gypped!

Murdering his girlfriend is one thing. But why has he gotta go and ruin Nancy Grace's fun like that? Man, CNN just lost millions in ad revenues with this creep's one little "Guilty, your honor."

Selfish bastard.

[knight_of_the_star]

51. Please let this end in a plea bargain

Then the whole mess will be cut short
