- Hulk Hogan feels OJ Simpson's pain, and wants the world to know via a controversial interview with Rolling Stone:
"I could have turned everything into a crime scene like O.J., cutting everybody's throat. You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater [Florida] and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife ... I totally understand OJ. I get it."
The remarks are already causing backlash, as both Linda Hogan and the sister of Ronald Goldman are speaking out against the wrestler. ... Read full article »

I can understand the jealousy thing of seeing his wife with a younger man, but openly comparing his thoughts to wife murderer OJ Simpson tells me he's losing all perspective and capable of snapping. Hulk needs therapy.. he is capable of harming himself or his ex wife.View thread

That said ... how long are we going to hang on to sound bytes from ANYONE, and pound them with it? It was a "stupid" thing to say, yes. And who here has never said something stupid? It's not against the law to be stupid, or say stupid things, although I'm sure Marge Shott and Dennis Rodman would beg to disagree.
This is the kind of petty stuff that really bugs me, this latching on to one stupid slip of the tongue from ANYONE, and then basically attempting to destroy them as a human being because of that one utterance.
The difference between civilized people and those NOT civilized is that the civilized people acknowledge their feelings, but don't act upon them and the uncivilized ones go ahead and act on them.
Mostly, I'm ticked because I now find myself in the position of defending someone about whom I have ambivalent feelings, who said something which suggests (because its taken pretty much out of context) something which I abhor, but right is right, and to endlessly use something like this against a person who clearly doesn't have any INTENTION of either condoning OJ's actions or copying them is just wrong IMO.
