TIL of a strange coincidence between an episode of Seinfeld and the OJ Simpson muders.

Senfeld S5E9: Because Elaine is dating a man with the same name as New York serial killer Joel Rifkin, she wants him to change his name to a less embarrassing one and suggests O.J.; about six months after this episode aired, O.J. Simpson was arrested and charged with the murder of his ex-wife and her friend.

Other names for him were “The Denogginizer”, “Headso” and Kramer’s “Son of dad”

I’m too young to realize this wasn’t intentional. I always thought that was the joke

There was also an episode of Buffy that was held from airing because the subject was a potential school shooting and it was planned to air like the day after Columbine.

You know I have no idea what OJ stands for. It’s Orenthal James.

Huh it’s a TIL inception

He makes watching the old Naked Gun movies even more interesting. If OJ had just stuck to making movies instead of stabbing.

neptune ,

Is this why in Arrested Development they keep renaming George Michael after sex criminals?

SatyrSack ,

Can you list them?

neptune ,

Boy George, George Maharis

SatyrSack ,

When did he go by Boy George?

neptune ,

He didn’t. It was discussed though.

theharber ,

Just realized “George Maharis” is a real person who also cruised bathrooms looking for sex.

This show is just a fucking masterclass of writing.

And IIRC, one of those people was called Perfecto Telles - who is also a character in AD S4

Wut? I only knew about the obvious George Michaels one!
