Unfortunately it would appear OJ didn't get the shit beat out of him

[Big Pimpin]

There's a story spreading like wildfire on the Internet today, saying that O.J. Simpson was beaten at the Nevada prison where he's jailed, in a racially motivated attack. The original source is the National Enquirer, and a prison official says the report is "Totally bogus.""We're getting inundated" with calls from news media said Steve Suwe, the public information officer for the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada. Suwe pointed out that the same story circulated in 2009 and was as false then as it is now. Another Enquirer report on Simpson last summer said the fallen football great was going to be married in prison to a "pen pal" he had never met.

The latest story contended O.J. had been beaten unconscious and spent three weeks in the prison infirmary.

"We laughed over that one pretty good," Suwe said in a phone interview with Game On!

Suwe added that Simpson has been in the prison's general population since he began serving at least a 9-year sentence for numerous felonies, including armed robbery and kidnapping. Suwe said prison officials checked in with O.J. today and were he's fine.
