Both O.J. Simpson's book and TV special have been cancelled

Just another scheme of his to make some type of "profit" from something so tragic. If he really didnt do it, how could you come up with different type senario's you would come up with for yourself if your not guilty.

oh what a horrible man i would like to see him get him get convicted...I hate his smugness.

Whether he did it or not, people should not profit from a crime. Especially if the crime involved someone he was supposed to have cared about.

While I'm glad they are cancelled, I hadn't heard that. Are you sure they have been cancelled? I figured the book would already be at the publishers.

yes. I don't think anyone will ever forget, at least I hope not.

Good idea to cancel them both. I don't think a major publishing house will want to touch that book after the furor it created, but maybe someone could put up the money for it privately. Maybe the TV show will be done on some cable network that doesn't have to worry about ratings as much as Fox TV.

Public furor should never calm down on this issue. It is disgraceful for him to benefit from such an heinous crime. Does the man have no shame? He should have more respect for his children, if nothing else. FOX has reached a new low in my opinion.

I am thrilled that the deal has been cancelled. I couldn't believe he would have the audacity to do that to begin with. Some people will do anything to make a buck and I think he was stooping pretty low to try to make money on that.

The whole thing makes me sick... whether or not he is guilty of those murders, to make a display of the situation is inhuman. And this man has children! I shudder to think of how all of this has affected them.

I am glad that they have cancelled both and hope that they do not resurrect it when things calm down... How dare he say and promote something saying.. this is how it happened if i would have done it. The creap!! What about Jessica and Ron's families.. I can't even imagine how they feel.

Yes I do think it's right. He should never have been encouraged to write the book in the first place! "How I would have killed my wife if I had done it"! A very bad and wrong and sensationalist idea. It does nothing to further justice. I have no interest in OJ Simpson - I don't think he's a good or admirable person - and I don't think he should be encouraged to make money out of sensationalist supposition. It's another case of media sewer-scraping and I'm glad someone saw sense and killed the idea.

I thought it was a horrible idea, so glad its been cancelled!

Well I can understand why a network or a publicist wouldn't want to be responsible for the TV special or the book. However I don't believe in censorship, of any kind, so IMO if O.J. could find a publicist to publish his book he should be allowed to do so.

I agree that they should have been cancelled because all this does is open up old wounds for the families of the victims and O.J. gets to tell the world that he got away with murder and isn't sorry about it, but he hopes you help him profit by it.

I'm happy they were cancelled. I still think he did it, and it was dumb for him to write a book about how he would have done it..... come on... who does that when they are innocent?

I did't think that was a good idea either. who want to hear about that I still think is is inocent though.

I am very Glad these were cancelled. If they would have given OJ this fame, who knows what they would have allowed next? I am so Glad Fox listened to the American people this time instead of going ahead and doing things their way.

Now that a decision to stop the publication has gone ahead, it will not be so easy to alter it. There has been far too much benefit of this kind for people in the past and it certainly needs to be controlled. The same situation existed with what was termed "Cheque book journalism" whereby newspapers were paying large sums of money to friends and families of infamous criminals for their private stories.

Yes, I do. I think both were in horrible taste and I think it is high time that we stop obsessing on the whole issue. I think that O.J. was just trying to capitalize on the crimes - strictly for money - and I think that was appalling.

I'm surprised no black market copies have turned up yet. I highly doubt that every copy was destroyed. I would like to see someone post it on the internet so that his "confession" is out there without him profiting one cent. As for the TV special, I'm stunned that anyone thought this was a good idea and that they would be able to get sponsors and avoid totally turning off viewers. Cancelling both was the right thing to do, not because anyone should be censored but because sometimes self-censorship is correct and moral.
