Are they photoshoped?

Did he bleach himself a la Michael Jackson?

What's the point?

Remember the classic OJ Simpson magazine cover ( could be found on the net, but I'm too lazy ) where the publishers "darkened his picture to make him appear more "evil". That was wrong, but I don't think that would happen today.

I believe he said the difference isn't as stark as it appears in the picture. Green contacts and bleached skin, I wonder why he'd make such a dramatic change.

I do wonder how much of the difference is unintentional. I'm a photographer, and there are a lot of things (mostly flash, type/quality/amount of lighting, and exposure time) that can change skin tone -- among other colors -- dramatically. I once bought a pair of shoes off eBay, thinking they were an ugly purple color (Halloween). I mean, they looked PURPLE. When they came, they were burgundy (and cheap shoes, to boot!).

When Sammy said he wanted to be "like Mike", I guess he got his Mikes mixed up.

Maybe it was the roids for Sammy S.!


Here are the famous magazine covers with OJ:

Shameful BS on Time magazine's part. But it was about 14 years ago!

BTW: I hope OJ is enjoying his stay at the state hotel and watching his Tuches
