Essay 4285


Gaming in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• O.J. Simpson was ordered to give the family of murder victim Ron Goldman any loot he receives from a video game featuring his image. The video game is called “All-Pro Football 2K8,” in case you presumed it was a game glorifying murder and mayhem.

• New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas could be called for a flagrant foul, as a federal judge decided that the sexual-harassment suit against Thomas is solid. “It is strongly arguable that an employee subjected to Thomas’ admitted actions could reasonably consider them harassing,” wrote the judge. At this point, Thomas probably hopes to fare better in a court of law than a basketball court.

• Jay-Z is firing back at an ex-employee suing him for alleged offenses that took place at the trendy 40/40 Club. The rap mogul is now claiming the worker walked off the job, after taking passwords for the club’s YouTube and MySpace accounts and deleting promotional videos. Wow, that sounds positively heinous.
