OJ Simpson is releasing a book on how he hypothetically could have killed his ex-wife and her friend... if he had done it... which of course he didnt.

Sometimes I wish there actually is a hell, so that guys like OJ can burn in it.

The world sometimes looks like a better place when you put it all in context. Will this guy still be around in, say, 50 years? What about 80? The book might live longer. Maybe few thousand years, if enough copies are preserved in optimum conditions. If new copies are constantly made, bits will eventually lost in translating it into what the language has changed to. And if it was made with second-quality pigment on second-quality paper, and none really care about it, the author might even outlive it.

In a hundred years he will be rembered by very few. In five hundred, none. In twenty thousand, glacier cover large parts of the globe and it will have made absolutely no difference whatsoever whether he lived or not and everything he ever accomplished in life will be dust.

You don't really need a hell.


Also, for the record, I would like to say I have no idea what I'm talking about.

God, doesn't he know that he's so over?

To paraphrase George Carlin, he doesn't need a hell. He has to hang out with golfers for the rest of his life.

Ah good...i was running low on toiletpaper, and was looking for cheaper alternatives. I just hope it doesn't give my ass a rash like what happened when i used the koran.

I dont know about that, his mockery of a trial is something I doubt will ever be forgotten. Hell I did speeches on it for many of my legal courses and people are always interested in it.

Just when I think my opinion of the Fox network can't get any worse...

If they don't make sure that all the money they are paying for this interview goes to the family, then I may remove Fox from my channel lineup.

I won't make a point to boycott the book publisher...based on the examples the article cites of what they publish, I don't think I'll ever be tempted to buy anything from them anyway.

Whether or not OJ actually did the crimes, this book and interview are in extremely poor taste.

How could you doubt that face? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color=plum>I wouldn't be surprised if the book contains far more fact than fiction. The desire to brag about our accomplishments is a fairly consistent human trait. This was one of the most infamous crimes of the previous century and - deep inside - the murderer would have a strong desire to tell people "I DID IT!"

By hypothetically confessing, he can get the gratification of saying "I DID IT (but not really)" without risking becoming even more of a pariah than he already has.</font>

Ideally the government should rush in at a book signing and haul him off saying "If you did it, you're going to jail". Later, on being asked by the public where he was the officials would respond "If we arrested him he'd be rotting in a cell" and then the world would think he just packed up and went to Bali or something. That'll do it.

What if someone killed him? I mean, that would be horrible, but think of the trial. The murderer could take the stand, and say, "I didn't kill him. You must release me so I can track down the real killer," and no jury in the world could convict him.

It worked for Chopper Read

<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#009999">We as a public need to send a message that one should not be able to make money off of the pain and suffering of others, and that a criminal (murderer) should not be able to profit and make money of the crime (murders) he committed. Despite my curiosity I WILL NOT purchase this book. I am even planning to go so far as to avoid buying books published by Regan Books.

I think this book shows his true colours. How could anyone motivated by anything but money power and ego write and publish a book like this. OJ and Nicole have children, so not only does the still grieving families of Nicloe Smith and Ron Goldman have to suffer through the publishing of the book, but so do his own kids!!!!! What a bastard!!! Perhaps he will give autographed copies of “How I “hypothetically” killed your mother” to his kids for Christmas. This book is absolute sick and the man who wrote it and the publisher who decided to publish it are as well.</font>

<font color=skyblue>If you have not heard by now...
"Ill-considered book and TV show cancelled"</font>

HAHAHAH good. I'm sure murderer still gets paid though. :(

I wanna see the book called "*IF* I killed OJ".

;)

If you write it we will buy it Z :D

Yep. 3.5 million unreturnable advance.

Goodman is looking into it though, as he's still owed 35 million or so.

Appears that the Publishing company tried to pay the families of the victims "millions" if they'd be quiet and let the book get released. They refused it, and that is what appears to have helped cancel the sell and the TV show. </font>
