Now that the Zimmerman trial is concluded, we just have sit back and wait for the verdict’s inevitable impact on society.  Here are some of the things I expect to see take place in the near future.

• In the tradition of Fred Astaire and other departed celebrities, UFC promo commercials will use a digitized Trayvon Martin.
• Rolling Stone will have a cover story about the sexiest acquitted killers. Zimmerman won’t make the list.
• NBC will selectively edit the audio recordings from the court to make Zimmerman seem to plead guilty and admit to loathing all races.
• During this national crisis, Obama will suspend habeas corpus and put Zimmerman in the stocks for display and ridicule during a national telethon.  The proceeds will go toward NBC’s legal defense fund.
• There will be an inevitable made for TV movie ‘inspired by the events’ in which Zimmerman will be played by Michael Shannon and Trayvon will be played by Willow Smith.
• The next time a black guy kills a white kid, the media will tout it as a racist hate crime.  No wait.  No they won’t. 
• The prosecution will blame the outcome of the trial on funding cuts due to the sequester.
• Michael Bloomberg will ban hoodies in NYC as being bad for one’s health. 
• Zimmerman will be the unwitting star of BET’s new reality show, The Hunted.  The reward is $50,000.
• MSNBC will offer Zimmerman his own talk show just so they can slowly asphyxiate him on live TV during the premiere.
• Fashion reporters on Entertainment Television will start promoting Hispanic as the new white.
