Darren Rovell is the worst. Oops, I forgot to change my name on that to become anonymous.

With the news trickling out late last night that Oscar Pistorius had shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, and then this morning that he had been arrested and charged with murder, you knew that it would be Rovell who would give us the proper level of perspective.

Pistorius was wearing a sweatshirt made by Oakley, his sponsor, when he was taken by police twitpic.com/c3p324

Boom. Product placement. If I am ever charged with a heinous crime, it will be a banner day for the makers of Zubaz.

Oakley is also the world leader in polarized lenses.

does rovell think he did this because he was contractually obligated? because the more likely explanation is that the dude has a metric fuckton of free oakley gear lying around.

@darrenovell: The poor victim was bathed in crimson, not unlike the Alabama National Championship Commemorative T-Shirts available from the Nike Store. #reallymakesyoustopandthinkaboutwhoyourereallysupportingamiright?

That has to be the most Rovell tweet ever.

I love my pair of Oakley glasses. The lenses are beat the fuck up though.

Too bad Twitter wasn’t around in ’94 to let Rovell tell us how much free advertising Bruno Magli was getting

I expected more from Rovell, like Oscar was mad because he couldn’t land a shoe deal

TMZ is reporting that noted Snooki stalker, Tim Ryan, arrived at the courthouse with his legal team, but chose not to comment.

maybe he was trying to make a point of how this could negatively affect the Oakley brand?

That is some finely plucked chest hair.

Or are you a debilitating cream sort of guy, Tim?

I had never heard of Smiths before. Checked out their site and like the look of some of them. I’ve been rocking these for a couple of years now.

All joking aside, Rovell has totally lost perspective. If twitter was around during 9/11, I guarantee he would be giving a shout out to the company that provided the steel beam as the towers were collapsing.

I was rocking a white t-shirt and basketball shorts when I got cuffed and stuffed. Good thing it was warm outside when I was released.

So true. While I’m not sure I buy Oscar’s story, if it is true this is just a terrible, terrible tragedy.

I think he truly needs help. His job consumes every one of his thoughts.
