I was aware OJ was suicidal, but I guess it escaped my ken that at one point he was going to kill himself in Kim Kardashian's (childhood) bedroom.
To be fair, how many other irrational men have left stains on Kardashian's bed?

She was a little girl then, OJ blowing his brains out in her bedroom would have been pretty graphically disturbed.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos, Senior Editor at Breitbart News, announced his resignation from the conservative blog amid backlash over controversial comments he made about Jews, sexual consent, statutory rape, child abuse and homosexuality.
Yiannopolous said in a statement Tuesday he did not want his "poor choice of words" to take away from his colleagues' reporting, adding that the decision to step down is "mine alone."

I'd crack a joke along the lines of "wouldn't want the advocation of paedophilia to raise the tone around Breitbart", but sadly I think it'd be more truthful than sarcastic.

The left's war on free speech takes another casualty. You can't even make a good joke about pedophilia these days without them jumping down your throat.
I love the irony of how conservatives were cheering this guy on as a champion of free speech when he was saying shit that people on the other side found offensive, laughing at everyone's cries by calling them cry-baby pussy snowflakes, but the moment he says something they personally find objectionable, they can't distance themselves fast enough. I guess it's only about free speech as long as it's someone else getting upset by it.

Maybe the POE/troll thing was meant to make the conservatives look bad all along ?
I also note, Milo wouldn't be making offensive remarks to/about anyone if he was otherwise engaged slurping hot male sperms from my delectable tooshie.

It should also be noted that his book deal was canceled.
You have to wonder who thought that was a good idea in the first place, though. I doubt there's much overlapping between the demographics of "Milo followers" and "people that read books."

Well to be fair it was #2 on Amazon, and the printing got pushed out note than once because they solid through advanced copies.
He was pretty popular.
He also probably gets to keep his quarter million dollar advance too.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
