that humanity was just an unintentional (and entirely unfortunate) side effect of the evolution of mammals: "I consider this his confession." -- publisher Judith Regan, on O.J.'s forthcoming book If I Did It, which explains how he would have murdered his ex-wife and her friend "if he were the one responsible"
SHouldn't this be under the thread why I hate mankind? Or at least one man kind in particular... This is so wrong its hard to know where to start.
Is this like sort of admitting that he did do it after all, but it's okay because he was found to be innocent in court - only now he wants to sell the story about how he did it. Or is it saying, if I did murder my wife this is how [i:dae348e7dd]I[/i:dae348e7dd] would have done it, not how it was actually done by some other murderer?
I heard this morning that Fox decided to cancel the interview and the book. I guess the fact that most of this country has long been convinced that O.J. was the killer finally sank in. I couldn't believe he got custody of those kids.

And cry a bit.
The sad thing is customers have been coming in and complaining about Fox cancelling it. One woman told me she was really looking forward to reading it. ....
so, the book is NOT being published? or is it just the interview that has been cancelled? whichever, it's a sick thing.

Today I set up a few more official Holiday displays (the lists are sent from the corporate office and woe be to you if you do not follow them!) and one table entitled "Happy Holidays" had two photography books that I refused to put on there. One was titled "Aftermath" and was a bunch of pictures of 9/11. The other was a collection of photos from Katrina. Happy Holidays..... :roll:

I'm sad . Not that I ought to even waste my nerve cells on the man, but I'm still sad because I remember thinking him thoroughly innocent back in 1996. I was happy when he was set free. Not only that, but I have a definite recollection of my friends and classmates cheering for him as well. But they won't admit it now!
it was that cultural train wreck of a trial that i think really convinced me that american culture was a cancer upon the earth.
I read an article about the cancellation. Harper/Collins was the publisher. O.J. said he was doing it only to make money for his kids. He said it was definitely "blood money" but he denied that it was any kind of admission of guilt. He felt the cancellation was like having a great weight lifted off of his shoulders. He felt the people doing the book didn't believe he didn't do it, that he hadn't been able to make them hear him.
And the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was... While I believe this book concept (I'll leave it a that for now, whether it gets published or not) is disturbing, the idea is very sly. More something I would consider to be in a work of fiction by Stephen King (actually 'Secret Window' comes close in its disturbing nature). This just gave me the idea for a thread.
