That probably should be qualified with North America. On the other side of the pond, I had no idea of this event or even who Simpson was. "He was in the Naked gun movies? Hmm, ok yeah I kinda remember that guy" I can't imagine this made more than a paragraph in a newspaper when it happened.
Reading this thread now I'm surprised that it appears to be one of those moments where everyone can remember where they were following the news.
