Ever since the OJ saga almost 2 decades ago - refer to my very first blog reminiscing this event - there has not been reality television to put the oomph in the viewership. So these days we have to deal with a series of very wealthy people being arrested for everything from rape (of any sex) to doping or overdosing with chemical cocktails to molestation to financial fraud to dog fighting (I beleive there were few incidents of non human species being molested according to the prosecution).
But merely getting arrested or implicated, or whatever the PC term for alleged but not convicted is these days, the plaintiff has to also have certain key traits to make the drama last a full season.
1. Ability to plead NOT GUILTY using many variants of 'Depends on What IT Is'.
2. Ensure that when raping an individual their ability to describe events in English is limited causing undue stress on the judicial system and blaming everything on an interpretation issue.
3. Ensure that there is a Wire Tap involved because that can always take the case two ways..it was legit or it was not
4. Ensure wonderfully crafted prenups are crafted using the best of attorneys - that read something along the lines of - if either partner finds themselves lacking the visibility and high profile readership, said partner is allowed to file for an immediate divorce thereby allowing for some front page status and moronic viewership spike as proclaimed by a moronic rating agency that tracks the activities of these slobs
5. Always have good education credentials or news worthy lineage or a job at an agency no one knows of but has heard of and has some acronyms in its name before being summoned by the special panel for ethics or some such.
If all this does not get you in the limelight its time for a career change.
So I too 'Plead Not Guilty' of polluting the minds of my miniscule readership of this blog and hope for instant stardom.
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
