If the glove doesn't fit...

Fans of the River City Rascals (of the independent Frontier League) shed a collective tear when a "Sports Criminals Night" promotion scheduled to take place on June 2nd got shut down less than two days after it was announced. You say: shockingly poor taste. I say: genius marketing. Broadcast announcer Phil Giubileo, who came up with the idea as part of the team's "Wacky Wednesdays" decided to mark the 10th anniversary of OJ Simpson's arrest on double-homicide charges with a special $1 "jailhouse" meal consisting of bread and water. Mmmm, sounds tasty! Though a bit overpriced, since I recall reading a statistic that suggested it only cost around $0.40 each day to feed an inmate. But that's pretty close to the meal (add a glass of milk and a rotten lemon, and you're right there) that prompted a group of Arizona inmates to stage a jail-wide hunger strike in 2001. Apparently, prisoners in Indiana don't get to eat anything that isn't made with a cornmeal base, so gimme the bread and water any day. There was a trivia contest and a grand prize trip to Jamaica (with Al Cowlings at the wheel and 100 lbs of marijuana in the car trunk) planned, too, but the upstanding citizens of O'Fallon, Missouri will now have to go elsewhere to find their fun.
