O.J.Simpson book and TV series cancelled

NEW YORK (AP) -- After a firestorm of criticism, News. Corp. said Monday that it has canceled the O.J. Simpson book and television special "If I Did It."

"I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project," said Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. chairman. "We are sorry for any pain that his has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson."

A dozen Fox affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps month special, planned for next week before the Nov. 30 publication of the book by ReganBooks. The publishing house is a HarperCollins imprint owned -- like the Fox network -- by News Corp.

In the projects, Simpson speaks in hypothetical terms about how he would have committed the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Goldman.

Relatives of the victims have lashed out at the now scuttled publication and broadcast plans.

"He destroyed my son and took from my family Ron's future and life. And for that I'll hate him always and find him despicable," Fred Goldman told ABC last week.

The industry trade publication Broadcasting & Cable editorialized against the show Monday, saying "Fox should cancel this evil sweeps stunt."

it's in his best interest at the end of the day...

i think this was a good move, ethically. i don't know if it was a good business move tho, because the book would have sold and made tons of money. the publishers would be looked down on, but they would have made money. it would have become a case of reputation versus finances

He wanted to be in the public eye again...personally I think OJ shd STFU and lay low...any dumb ass knows he's guilty..Cochrane is dead...so if he fucks up now...he's screwed...and btw, he has voiced his own part of the story...that's why he's a free man in the 1st place...he shd just be quiet.
