This is sorta icky but I guess it's for a good cause. Remember how O.J. had that book and television deal where he was going to tell us how he killed two people but couch it in "hypothetical" terms? I think the guy who molested me in fifth grade behind the Tedeschi's dumpster had more redeeming qualities than a guy who decapitated a couple of people, beat the rap, and then tried to make money off it. Initially there was an uproar over this, and it got shot down. It looks like it's being used for kind of a good cause and to collect on the debt O.J. owes the Goldmans.
The controversial O.J. book, "If I Did It," will be repackaged and published, a New York literary agent announced today. In a statement, a rep for the agent proclaimed, "The family and publisher have pledged to leave Simpson's manuscript entirely intact, but they will also add key commentary."So will they just write "he's telling us how he killed our son" and "this guy is one evil, delusional motherf*cker" as chapter headings? It's kinda eerie, but all the rights to the book go to the 33.5 million in damages the Juice owes Ron Goldman's family. Seriously though, O.J.? The worst.

Creepy. Imagine the dedication at the start of the book.
'To Nicole, who made this book possible'.
Seriously, there is something deeply wrong with this book being published.
green cardigan says:
Publishing a book will probably mean a promotional tour, interviews, book signings.
Good Luck with that America.
Zekers says:
Yes there is green. I'm a little surprised the Goldman's went for this. I understand they want him to pay but do they think the attention he'll get is worth it? I don't understand why they can't just clean him out (financially) and call it a day...you know this guy has money.

Cosina says:
This book should never see print. It is distasteful even if he doesn't get the benefits.

I take serious issue with calling this tool "Anti-christ." Our true Dark Lord would never be so washed up, hamfisted, and broke. THE SITH DEMAND A RETRACTION!

OMG - Is this a serious post!? Hilarious!
Eyes of Green says:
I want to know who is going to BUY this piece of trash book! They may have the rights to it, but I don't think the Goldmans will reap many rewards from sales. Who would want to read it? We all know what happened already - oh, pardon me - hypothetically...

Too bad the entire Brown family is entirely against the publishing of this book. So much so, that they have drafted a petition to stop it's release. I feel horrible for all of the families involved in the tragedy, but the real victims are always going to be the children of this monster, and it is disgusting to think that there will be a "hypothetical" book written by their dad, about killing their mother and it will be available in bookstores everywhere. For what? Money?
