A new low in crassness?

I just saw that too. Turned my stomache.

 

and speaking of Fox:

Be On The Lookout For Any Statements From The Iraqi Insurgents...Thrilled At The Prospect Of A Dem Controlled Congress

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2006/11/14/f...o-_n_34128.html

Huffington Post has obtained an internal Fox News memo written by the network's Vice President of news. The memo details Fox's game plan the day Democrats won control of both the Senate and the House.

 

I'm surprised he had time to write a book. Isn't he still looking for the killers? :huh:

 

My first thought was ... why did OJ write a book and do a show?

Doesn't all the money go to goldberg's dad?

Then, the topic of the book appears to lessen the public opinnion of himself. Everyone who didn't already settle on it being OJ as the killer probably will by the time he's done explaining himself.

Weird.. Does anyone understand the angle for OJ on this?

Interesting stuff, for anybody with doubts that faux news is a propaganda outlet. Who was the message sent to ? Editorial writers, or journalists in charge of 'news' stories ?

 

Book and TV program cancelled:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15818960/

NEW YORK - 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.â€

“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.â€

 

You KNOW something is sleazy when Geraldo Rivera complains how tasteless and crass it is.

 

I'll give OJ's driver credit for being the most watched hypermiler ever.

It's been canceled.

Blast! I hustled over to Amazon and the book is now unavailable. Not to read - as an investment. I had hoped to stash a few copies of this book as it is an historical curiosity, destined to become a REAL collectors' items in a few years. The cancellation now vastly increases the book's investment value overnight! It has been made a truly rare 1st edition. I envy the lucky ones who got signed copies (!!!) - those tawdry volumes ought to fetch hundreds or even thousands a few years from now. And when OJ dies - their value will increase yet again.

Oh well.

It's this kind of thinking that keeps sleeze alive and kicking. Is money the only true value anymore? Is there anything that one wouldn't touch with rubber gloves on? I read one time of a man who had a fingernail clipping of Hitler. I bet that's really worth something!

 

If the book had been published, and if I were a bookstore clerk, I would have had a stack of books by the front door with a sign on it saying "shoplifters welcome".
