Crime Does Pay → Oh, Oprah… not you too
Let’s look a little at the origin of smut TV.
Lorena Bobbit, she who cut off her husband’s penis.
Sure, this was a newsworthy story, but entertainment news show (of which there were few at the time) jumped all over this story like maggots on a rotting carcass. She became a celebrity overnight and was instantly famous. Why? Because she broke the law? Mutilated her husband? Committed a heinous assault? Yup. That’s why.
Her punishment? A few days in a mental ward followed by decades of interviews on shows like “The Insider”
She was rewarded with fame and fortune for viciously attacking her sleeping husband thanks to tabloid TV.
OK, maybe she was in a bad marriage, maybe her husband cheated on her and was generally not nice to her, but hey… that’s what divorce court and the police are for.
Last year, she hit the Oprah show. It was quite the spectacle. Lorena recounted the tale as Oprah’s gaggle of cackling hags laughed uncontrollably.
Nice.
Were it not for smut TV and yes, even Oprah, this crazy, law breaking, Latina would be just another lawbreaker who no-one cared about and struggled to re-adjust to society. Not a folk hero profiting from her crime.
Next post, we’ll talk about her husband and maybe some other famous lawbreakers who have polluted out airwaves and got rich from their hideous behaviour such as Tonya Harding and Joey Buttafuoco.

I am to a great extent impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the author of http://www.offmytv.com can continue to provide so much worthwhile information and unforgettable experience to http://www.offmytv.com readers. There is not much to tell except the following universal truth: Simplicity is the highest form of complexity, as we cannot explain it any further. I will be back.
