Censorship

[Blaise (imported)]

Frankly, I don't care whether O. J. Simpson gets to say anything.

Murder...

The ULTIMATE Censorship...

...he has enough balls to give a pair to each on the archive, women, too.

Was he found GUILTY by our court, then things are different, but was he not he should be treated with respect and courtesy and be allowed to write his story and those that want to read it they can also in peace.

I know the arguments went on and on and became more and more confusing.

Again if I recall there were things that happened that could have been investigate further and somehow no more details showed up in the media about it. So I say don't go for the lynching mob methods but get the book out. The money made on a book is not that much and should not be the issue. N3RF

n3rf - there is a difference between the law and justice. Also, when sued in a civil court he was found guilty. I disagree tha

t he should be treated with respect and

allowed to write his memoirs in peace. He should be shunned in the severest way.

You can't honestly look at the OJ trial and say there wasn't a grave miscarriage of justice. The wife beating bastard murdered two people. Just because 12 morons were offended by some cop's use of the word "nigger" while he was trying to talk his way into some girls pants doesn't mean OJ is innocent. I wonder where they can find 12 people stupid enough and not have enough of a life to sit as a jury for a trial that long. Sadly, the people chosen were the ones least capable of serving in the capacity.

So what does the BOOK say, and I don't mean the TITLE which I am sure was invented to gaul people. ?? Who actually wrote it and did it summarize all the court papers, the evidence, and stories and so forth ??

By the way which was the BEST movie OJ made and what did it do for his career, did he get an OSCAR or anything ?? N3RF

This spell-checker -really works - N3RF

Defense lawyers want stupid prejudiced folks on juries. My opinion of OJ is that he did it. How those jurors manage to sleep at night knowing that they let a murderer run loose is beyond me....

As a matter of principle, I agree. However, I believe he killed his wife and Mr. Goldman.

O.J. can write whatever he wishes. I object to the money hungry slime-balls that hope to profit from such shit. Fuck Fox TV and ReganBooks, the publisher of this crap; but then, I don't watch Fox anyway; and I'll certainly never buy this piece of crap book. I hope they both lose money on it. I applaud the Fox affiliates that refuse to air the interview.

Editorial: Crime shouldn't pay; don't buy the O.J. book

Editorial, THE BOSTON GLOBE

Monday, November 20, 2006

Normally, we do not comment on books we haven't read, but in the case of O.J. Simpson's "If I Did It," we'll make an exception. This supposed tell-all degrades the publishing business and calls into question the integrity of everyone responsible for putting it into print or arranging the TV interviews to publicize its release. No one should buy it, or watch the two-part interview that will precede its release Nov. 30. And advertisers should shun the programs as well.

According to Simpson's attorney, only one chapter will focus on the murder of Simpson's former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in 1994. The account will be accompanied by a disclaimer that it is fiction, the lawyer said.

But Judith Regan, publisher of the book, told the Associated Press: "I consider this his confession." She hopes to profit from the widespread belief that Simpson, despite his acquittal in the killings, really was the murderer and is now offering a first-person account of how he stabbed two people to death.

In a civil case, a jury found Simpson responsible for the deaths, but the families of the victims have collected only a couple of thousand dollars of the $33.5 million judgment. They would be right to try to seize whatever Simpson is making from the book, but it is likely he will try to hide the money in some foreign account or other shadowy vehicle. Anyone who buys "If I Did It" should assume that he or she is funneling money directly to Simpson.

Much of the profit also will go to Regan's ReganBooks, part of the Rupert Murdoch media empire. Murdoch's Fox network will air Simpson's two-part interview with Regan that will precede publication. Murdoch properties are known for their edgy offerings, but this one goes too far. NBC is to be commended for turning down an offer to televise a Simpson interview. It didn't want to be an accomplice in Simpson's attempt to profit from crime. Any company tempted to buy advertising on the Fox programs should be aware that it would be abetting this repugnant act by Simpson and the network.

But readers will be tempted by what promises to be a lurid tale, and on Thursday, the book was already No. 33 on the Amazon.com sales list. Its presence there provoked a lively discussion, with comments ranging from "disgusting" to "Glad Amazon is staying out of the book censoring business."

No one is saying ReganBooks should be prevented from publishing "If I Did It." U.S. Supreme Court rulings protect the rights of murderers, convicted or not, to write and profit from books about their crimes. Only the moral sensibility of readers, viewers and advertisers will prevent publishers from putting out more first-person accounts of murders. "If I Did It" should be left to molder unbought in the remainder bins.

I intend to boycott the book, Fox TV, and any advertisers that I hear sponsor the show.

Looks like the book won't be published Look (http://www.dontpayoj.com/)

WE WON!

Thanks to you, the killer’s book will never see the light of day. His narcissistic and self-serving two-hour TV “special” won’t pollute the nation’s airwaves. America took a hard look at the filth Fox, Harper Collins, and Regan Publishing wanted to spread around and said NO! No more celebration of evil! No more exploitation of the deaths of two wonderful people! America said NO!

And you did it! 58,000 of you (and still counting) signed the petition in just 4 days. Thousands of you flooded phone lines and e-mail boxes and let the nation’s media elite know how you felt. You stood up to them. And, like any other bully, they turned tail and ran. Your voices were heard! Thank you for helping to spare our families, other Victims of Crime and the American public, from the additional and unnecessary pain these callous companies inflicted upon us.

We can not express enough the heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to each and every one of you, who has continued to support the efforts of our family for the last 12 years. But truthfully this last week … we were ALL victimized by this horrific and insensitive situation – and to know that we fought this battle together is truly remarkable. We are humbled and inspired by your ongoing commitment to justice on behalf of Ron and Nicole. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

QUIZ....

Name the number of movies that O.J. has made since the trial and the 30 mph publicity chase to get sympathy...

ZERO NONE ZIP! NADA niets aucun keine κανένας nessun nenhuns никакие ningunos ....

So don't blame us alone. Hollywood apparently thinks that he is GUILTY...

"If I did it, here's how it happened."

That's the original title, I read, but they shortened it.

Semantically, that's a confession.

He should have called it, "IF I did it, here's how I WOULD have done it."

Personally, I think he's as guilty as the calorie count in a double-fudge layer cake with 1" thick frosting!
