There is also option 5). As suggested in an earlier post, it's very likely Oscar will become a regular and highly-paid speaker on the evangelical circuit. Here's my reasoning:
-- his most vociferous and loyal followers are Christians (seemingly of the hardcore, born again variety)
-- Robert Tillman Kendall, Chrisitian mininster and author of 50 books (including one called Total Forgiveness), was an early supporter and prayer buddy
-- several hundred million Christians in the world identify as Pentecostal, Charismatic or Evangelical
-- many of them are members of highly cashed-up, marketing-savvy assemblies with global television reach
-- much like his corporate sponsors, these organizations understand the power of a global icon when it comes to extracting cash from adoring fans
-- Oscar is the living embodiment of inescapable original sin and the path to redemption through a heavenly savior
-- his personal history of hardship, struggle and sacrifice is tailor-made (pun unintended)
-- like a prize show dog, he has pedigree, coming from a family of ostentatious faith
-- the Olympics, the trial and the Pistorius PR juggernaut have made him a household name worldwide
-- he already has the necessary skills and experience for the job (frequent traveler, attending sponsored functions, high-pitched tearful rhetoric, story telling)
-- he already has managers, handlers and hangers-on who won't want to get off the gravy train just yet
It's almost as though he was predestined to be the ultimate global ambassador for a particularly cynical brand of Christ.
Footnote: As a convicted criminal (particularly one with a five-years sentence for multiple crimes), would Oscar be allowed to travel to the US where his largest and most profitable audience lives? Logic says: "No". The Hranaka Waiver says: "Possibly". The Christian lobby and Uncle Arnie say: "Looks like a sure thing". Unless you're going to the US to commit espionage, overthrow the government, or have an untidy history of genocide "...immigration authorities can....easily approve a Hranka waiver application on discretionary grounds. Foreign nationals burdened with an inadmissibility bar still have a chance to make an argument to immigration officials." If you can get your legless nephew to run in the Olympics it can't be too difficult to get the anointed golden-boy of gospel into the USA.
