[oj squeezed] we’ll never know how he would have done it

It’s been dropped – the plan to publish the book and do a string of interviews with O.J. Simpson.

As the International Herald Tribune said: The decision to cancel the twin Simpson projects was greeted with widespread expressions of relief. Michael Angelos, a vice president of Pappas Telecasting Companies, which told the network Friday that its four Fox-affiliated stations did not intend to broadcast the interview, released a statement calling the network's decision "a victory for the people who spoke out." The statement concluded, "This special would have benefited only O. J. Simpson, who deserves nothing but contempt, and certainly no benefit."

Right. Yes. It would have benefited only him and maybe he was a bit cash-strapped and maybe his taste is kinda low. But … but … isn’t that what anyone would do if he had a story, an angle, which would sell? Wouldn’t anyone sell his memoirs if they’d make a killing? Imagine the T-shirts you'd sell. You'd be famous again. And as someone once said, 'I don't care what you say about me as long as you spell my name right.'
