Fox Interview Special:
Quote:
LOS ANGELES -- Fox plans to broadcast an interview with O.J. Simpson in which the former football star discusses "how he would have committed" the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, for which he was acquitted, the network said.
The two-part interview, titled "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29, the TV network said.
Simpson has agreed to an "unrestricted" interview with book publisher Judith Regan, Fox said.
"O.J. Simpson, in his own words, tells for the first time how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible for the crimes," the network said in a statement. "In the two-part event, Simpson describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade."
The interview will air days before Simpson's new book, "If I Did It,'' goes on sale Nov. 30. The book, published by Regan, "hypothetically describes how the murders would have been committed."
In a video clip on the network's Web site, an off-screen interviewer says to Simpson, "You wrote, 'I have never seen so much blood in my life.' "
"I don't think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood," Simpson responds.
Simpson, who now lives in Florida, was acquitted in a criminal trial of the 1994 killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was later found liable in 1997 in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family.
Messages left with Simpson and his attorney Yale Galanter were not immediately returned.

Even for Fox, this is pretty ridiculous. I'd say this was a joke of some kind, but it would be in such poor taste, it almost has to be real.
Is this the worst thing network TV has ever done?

That's fucking disgusting. The worst part is that a lot people will watch it, and of course he'll get a huge fucking cheque... basically for murdering his wife.

Hopefully, the Goldman family has already filed a lien on it.

I read that off Yahoo. There's gonna be a fucking book? That's sick. I'll be eager to see how many copies are sold. Since I work at a book store, I should treat people like shit if/when they buy it.

Anyone here ever read "Lamb To The Slaughter?" A housewife murders her husband with a frozen leg of lamb, calls the cops, and serves them the lamb for dinner. I think they adapted it for "Alfred Hitchcock Presents."
This made me think of that.

O'Reilly rips Murdoch, book, showFox News firebrand Bill O'Reilly threatened yesterday to whack Rupert Murdoch in the wallet for promoting O.J. Simpson's how-I-murdered-my-wife book.
Vowing to boycott any company that advertises on Fox's two-part special hyping O.J.'s "If I Did It," O'Reilly declared: "If every American walked away from the O.J. garbage, it wouldn't happen."
"I'm not going to watch the Simpson show or even look at the book," he added. "If any company sponsors the TV program, I will not buy anything that company sells - ever."
Geraldo Rivera, another Fox News star, piled on and called the book "appalling."
Simpson's book is being published Nov. 30 by ReganBooks, which is named after its head, Judith Regan, and is an imprint in Murdoch's News Corp. - which also owns Fox broadcasting.
appalled advertisers were already running away in droves from the TV tie-in Regan is scheduled to host on Nov. 27 and 29 on Fox Broadcasting. And some Fox affiliates told the network they would not carry the special at all.

No, I mean the OJ figures with knife and bloody gloves and the right arm with special stabbing action. Sorta like Kung Fu grip, but different!

Washington Post: O.J. Simpson's forthcoming book, "If I Did It," could launch a profitable new series for publisher Judith Regan and her parent company, Rupert Murdoch's media empire. Let me suggest that she follow up with another snuff book, maybe "If I Shot My Wife in the Head," by Robert Blake, and then diversify into non-capital crimes with "If I Molested All Those Kids," by Michael Jackson. How about "If I Had Drowned Her," by Ted Kennedy?

how about we don't fucking care by the RKMBs?
And, to be fair, one of my favorite friends there is blind and I take every opportunity available to make fun of that and we're still friends. That guy never fit there. He never got the spirit of the RKMBs. We're gonna keep an eye on the obits, see if he finally left or if he really did have a heart attack.

But you notice he signed it "OJ Dingo," so I guess that's part of his efforts at going undercover to "catch the real killers."

NY Daily NewsPressure grew yesterday on Rupert Murdoch's media empire to drop its appalling multimillion-dollar promotion of O.J. Simpson's memoir of hypothetically murdering his ex-wife.
Advertisers ran from buying time on the Fox TV special, and some stations said they wouldn't show it.
Tens of thousands of people signed an online petition started by the family of one of Simpson's alleged victims that accuses Murdoch's empire of funneling O.J. money.

Okay, I just got back from my all store Borders meeting. One of the things discussed was what we're doing with the book. We are NOT discounting it, or putting a lot of promotion behind it. Usually we discount new releases, so this is interesting to hear. Borders (as a company) is donating all the money they make off the book to an unnamed (as of now) charity to help people that are victims of domestic violence. I asked if other chains are doing anything similar and got "I don't know, I don't care".

If they don't wanna profit from it why sell it in the first place? The donations are a great idea, but I doubt that's what motivates them to stock the book.

Unfortunately the only way to solve that problem is to stop him from releasing the book.

I don't think O.J. can make money from the book. I think any of the money made on the book is/or should be going to the payment of his civil suit.

Does he still owe for that?
The release of this book makes me wonder what the guy has been doing for...what...10 years? He must be putting his kids out to make money cause there ain't no way he's getting a job.

Yes. Of course he hasn't been working so he won't have to pay it.
He is living off his NFL pension which the Goldman's aren't allowed to touch.

AOL is reporting this evening that the book and TV interview have both been canceled and labeled "ill-considered" in retrospect.
