OJ Simpson Gets Canceled

O.J. Simpson will have to find a new way to make a few extra bucks and get another 15 minutes of fame. The book and television special, "If I Did It" have both been cancelled. At least a dozen Fox affiliates have refused to air the two-part special, calling it an "ill-considered project." The publisher that was planning on printing the book is owned by News Corp, the same company that owns Fox network.

"If I Did It" was allegedly a hypothetical rendering of how O.J. Simpson murdered Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown-Simpson, IF he would have done it. Even though Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of the double homicide, Judith Regan, publisher of "If I Did It" said the book appeared to be a confession.

The families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown-Simpson, along with countless other angry citizens, had their say when they lashed out about the television special and book deals.

Amazon.com listed "If I Did It" in their top 20 last weekend, but by Monday, the book dropped all the way to 51. Perhaps that in itself should have served as a sign that this idea was a stinker straight from the crappy ideas department, in the first place.

O.J. Simpson still has yet to pay the $33.5 million dollars owed to victims' families, from the civil suit, and had this book and television special not been nixed, he wouldn't have made anything from it to begin with.
