This is ghastly and sheer horror.
This is right up there with Steven Spielberg's fabricated/horror stories.
Why oh why..he hasn't been fated with a horrible death, is beyond me.
I cannot believe what he is doing??????????
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of Christ, rest in peace Amen. Please hear our prayers Our Lord, for Nicole and Ron.

I bought extra channels a few monyhs ago just so I could get fox news
and have enjoyed it very much up until now, but the O J Simpson interview
and the book sale has disappointed me very much. I think his face needs to
stay off T V.
You can't touch The Juice man!!!!! He's The Juice!!!
There is no way I could watch this man or read anything by him. He doesn't deserve that much attention, much less any monies he might make from this. I'm appalled at Fox for even considering it.
I feel terribly sorry for his children.
Its always been open season on white wummin for Afrikan football players
...boycott his interviews, books, and any articles that feature his point of view in any way, shape or form, etc. Do as the victims' families ask, and turn your backs on this monster...
Let's not even waste our time watching, reading, or talking about this idiot who gives black America a bad name. How about those Chicago Bears?
so, what's the deal? does he just need money? Not enough left in the coffers to support his golfing?
Of course, the more people try to whip up a frenzy about this, the more attention this will get, and the more people will hear about it and buy his book just to see what it's all about. More money for him.
If your object is to minimize his return from this, your best bet is to ignore this, ignore him, and move on with life. And hope he is the oh so unfortunate victim of an accident involving a very slow unattended steamroller rolling north on a concrete cart path, and a stumble on the course that leaves him paralyzed but sensate on the cart path with his feet to the south. Make that a very very slow steamroller.
Who would want to watch a nauseating psychopath make further mockery of justice and decency. Boycotting his book and show is the least we can do. May he live alone in his own private hell.
why do you all care what he is doing. surely you have better things to do with your time than watch or read this sick punk. He is one old, sad example of what most black males teach their children....... nothing.
What is the story with the $$ not being able to be taken by the Goldman family in partial payment of a terribly large outstanding $33mil bill?? While I understand the goal of boycotting, I'm more curious to hear how he will be able to legally pigwrestle this money away from the Goldman family.
Guess again. There's another billion dollars out there that will be generated by this new chapter in the OJ saga.
In case y'all didn't notice, Clark, Darden and about a hundred other incompetent lowlifes got rich off the murders. Newpapers, magazines, and every other kind of news outlet in the universe increased their circulation by tenfold.
Now it's time for this generation of professional gossips and leaches to make their money. And they will.
I truly believe that he will be punished in the next life. He will one day have to answer to God and everybody knows you can't lie to God.
from the beginning of the slave trade and up to today black folks have been hanged,shot,exploited and trod upon so what if he killed her and her lover .get over it and move on as we have.
just cuz we had slaves 200 freakin years ago don't mean you get to kill her and her boy. Get over it? I think OJ can get over it as he slowly burns in hell. Move on?? You move on over here and kiss my fat azz
Dear OJ,
We all understand that you need attention. You thrive on the fact that everyone is talking about you again! But is Negative the attention you desire? Think of your kids who have to claim you as a father. Even if there was a slight chance that you didn't do this 'slight' why would you even THINK of a way to 'MAYBE HAVE DONE IT ' . Leave your childrens mother in peace and let her Soul Rest. She has been though even in this life . The Family of both Nicole and Ron have also had enough grief. Money will never bring them back but why give such a horrible man more of it ?
I myself am sorry to the families for having to bring up such a horrible past again . It's a shame that we live a society that thrives on peoples misery.
You may live a good life now but believe me when I say this . YOu will rot in Hell for all that you have done on this earth. So enjoy it now because your soul will be in agony forever.
oj is the 'N' word. Fox news is disgusting to say the least.
I could not believe my ears when I read about this book and T.V. deal. I for one,would never consider watching this program or reading this book.When I was growing up, I and all of my friends idolized O.J. I was in a state of shock and disbelief at the news of the murders. I reserved my personel opinion until the trial was over. While I had come to the decision that he had indeed commited this crime,a jury of his peers had found otherwise.In this country that means we must accept it and get on with our lives and let him get on with his.That's his right under the constitution of the United States of America. I am so sad.
The guy is shameless and psychopathic. So is FOX (surprise). Skip the show and the book too.
But, another important action is a boycott of the corporations who are going to advertise during the show! It's the right thing to do.
Can someone find out who the sponsors are?
He's a coward. Worthless... shameless
FOX News has sunk to a new low... the interview is to be conducted by the very Book Publisher who is paying OJ for book rights !!
HANNITY & HOLMES interviewed ( or should I say 'interrogated') Mark Furman (LA detective) tonight & he OUTFOXED them, so they 'cut to a commercial' and regrouped, then these arrogant commentators tried to 'assasinate his charachter' (their favorite ploy when they are are on defensive )
SIDEBAR: anyone else see the transparency in this FOX TV show concept ?
Pit the good looking Conservative against homely Liberal
Anyway, I hope all America 'tunes out' FOX interview with OJ & no one buys book
The juice is crazy ,the man is so confused he dosen't know if he is going left or right,the women around him is crazy as he is,
Someone needs to watch the show and then post a list of program sponsors. I couldn't do it, but maybe someoone with a stronger stomach.
The juice skin is black ,but he think he is white,
Don't buy or read the book! DO NOT WATCH THE SHOW ON FOX-TV! Unfortunately freedom of speech in America even applies to disgusting human beings like O.J. Simpson! What's really shocking - NOT ONLY has he pretty much admitted to killing his ex-wife Nicole & her friend BUT his lack of concern for his two kids with Nicole?
My God you would think O.J would have a conscious about putting his children through this all over again. He's beyond selfish! I hope God teaches him a lesson very soon...it's long overdue. Damn where's the Taliban when you need them!!!
It makes me sick that FOX NEWS wood have an interview with him
this the lowest of lows
I think they want ratings no matter how they do it
I think everyone should boycot FOX and book
Bev
I think all of America should've a book burning. This one will be all the support of America. The publisher should take the proceeds and donate the money to a charity. How about America? Can we start a letter writing campaign to the publisher and get this done?
First of all, no book burning. That would mean purchasing the book in the first place. I think we should wait until its figured out w
It is generally believed that most of the Black community supported O.J. I am a black woman who always believed him guilty of mudering two people. I urge everyone with a ounce of decency not to buy his book. It is unthinkable that this man who has put so many through so much, would continue to bring up something that is so heinous and upsetting to so many. I can't imagine anyone who would still call this man a friend.
Murdoch. You are responsible for this. Fox is rotten to it's republican core. Did Dick Cheney know you were going to do this? Usually rich white republicans don't like seeing white women murdered by brothers. Anything for a buck. How will Rush 'Limberger' Limbaugh put a positive spin on this? The revolution will not be televised!
There's got to be a sharp lawyer or IRS agent out there that can get this bottom feeder on a technicality. I would love to see OJ in an Orange suit walking down the chain link lined corridor into the place where he belongs.
actually, I am not sure hell has such an entryway.
It would have been nice if some good-hearted American would have taken care of this A-hole out on the golf course or in some crowded shopping center.
maybe this recent shot in the spotlight will land him in hell - that's about all I can hope for.
I urge everyone to write Fox TV and tell them that they will no longer watch their network if this show airs, but only after tuning to the network today, making a note of all the companies advertising on the network, and notifying them that you will make a point not to use their products ever again.
Hit em where it hurts
Rot in Hell OJ - Milow
When it's OJ's time to ride the train Hell, the executives at Fox will be steering the engine. It is unbelievable that air time is going to be given to this idiotic wind bag. I have written to my Fox station about my intention to boycott their programming if this interview is actually allowed to air. I have also contacted all of the advertisers on their local website and let them know of my decision to boycott them as well. There are petitions on ipetitions.com that I urge everyone to sign. Ten years later, and the victims' families still have to worry about where this idiot will pop up next. We all know where he won't be...at the bank withdrawing the money he owes the victims' families. As for how he will get away with keeping the money from the sales of this book? All he needs is a good lawyer to muck up the paper trail of where the money goes, and it will take years for the courts to prove it went to him. Of course, in another decade, I'm sure he will have a new book titled 'How I spent the money I didn't make off of the How I did it book'.
Shame on Fox News. I will boycott any advertisers and have already expressed my outrage to Fox. This alleged human being deserves death, not publicity. My continued sympathy to the victim's families. May they finally find peace from this psycho.
How could anyone who has lost someone they claimed to love in such a gruesome manner think in these sort of terms? That alone is so revealing as to where this man's head is at!
And to even be willing to listen and read,never mind pay and publish this demented tome,that's just as sick or even sicker.No explanation could even remotely excuse this deal.
Fox has proven it has the ability to totally reduce itself to complete self debasement.They have publicly and shamelessly sold their souls to the devil.
The one thing I don't understand is how the Brown and Goldman family believe that money can somehow ease their pain. I definitely don't want O J to benefit from this 'confession'. I think the money should go to some organization that helps battered woman.
I'm not a person with a political leaning one way or the other,but I have to agree with Fred. It starts at the top. The people in power have to be responsible and put the thumb down. This is bad business...and bad human judgement.
I went on to Mr Goldmans Web site and added my name in support. There was a list of some of the thousands and thousands of supporters. I went down the list and couldn't believe my eyes.one of the names was OJ Simpson. Either someone is playing a very stupid joke and is as bad as he is, or the real..... did it..Another way of getting attention.
I can't believe any of this is actually happening.It's the most SHOCKING thing I've ever heard of.
The truth is most people will say they will not watch it, its like saying they dont watch porn. Alot of people are going to watch it.
I followed the case back in 94 and im curious as to what hes going to say. I think everyone who followed the case will watch it.
It should not be shown on Tv in the first place. Its amazing that we live in a soceity where NBC will not air Madonna singing on a cross because its too offending but FOX is airing 2 hours of a murderer talking about how he would have killed his wife.. Madonna is more distasetful-lol
Everyone should boycott everything FOX does from now on and burn everything they have that has the FOX label and that includes DVD's and merchandise from shows and movie like '24', 'House', 'The Simpsons', 'Star Wars', etc. This is truly the end of FOX as a network and as a motion picture company.
The Goldman family has created a website to boycott the Simpson book and interview. Go to dontpayoj.com Also contact your local FOX
To even think of having thought the idea of publishing a book or any kind of interview with this murder is what I call 'Pond Scum' or the white crap that gathers at the corners of your mouth. Fox did this to see what the reaction would be and they found out.
Why would you support anything to do with this murderer who is in the same catagory as Saddam and Hitler. one, two or a million, the same as far as I am concerned.
Why the Goldmans and Browns ca'nt get this guys money is behind me. Is our juditial system that fowled up? You can win a million in the courts but try to collect, that is like being on earth and they say there is a trilion dollars, tax free for you on the planet Saturn, It is your's, just go and get it!
Hello has anyone forgotten, this man was acquitted. Move on - are there two sets of verdicts here in America - one for afro-americans on trial for a crime against whites and another for whites on trial for a crime against afro-americans. If we are going to go back in history and rewrite the vertict of the OJ trial - let us begin with slavery and how it was wrong but made right by white america and let us not forget about the profits that were made. If the families of this tradegy needs to be paid, where is my 40 acres and a mule?? What is good for one is also good for another. How is it that we should have faith in the vertict that was given by an all white jury - yet disregard a jury of an all black jury that acquitted OJ. If OJ committed this crime it is not for any man to judge again; there is an almighty- power that will judge him like he will also judge us.
Let's be clear here. The first insult to the Brown and Goldman families came when a group of morally bankrupt black jurors refused to see the truth and willfully engaged in jury nullification which allowed OJ Simpson to walk free. These wrongheaded advocates for 'black justice' pinned their dreams on the wrong horse. Simpson may have been a black sports icon, but there his involvement in the black community ended. To my knowledge Simpson spent little or no time or effort promoting the black community. He was no leader for black justice, black education, black equality. He didn't speak at black functions, donate to black causes. His lifestyle wasn't driven by a need to help raise black people up. It was driven by wealth, fame and a massive ego, not the color of his skin. By being a part of this sleazy venture he indeed showed his true colors. The pain to the Brown and Goldman families would have been compounded had this indefensible project gone forward. It's true, he had the right under the law to write the book, and to appear in the FOX television special, but thank God the FOX bean counters saw the light and pulled the plug. That said - never feel we have won anything here, folks. This was no moral victory for the citizens of America. This was just business as usual for FOX. You and I know no matter what spin the FOX damage control experts from FOX will put on it they axed this project because of a quaking bottom line, NOT because it was tasteless, horrific and morally reprehensible. Morality was never a consideration here, boys and girls, you can bet on it. Anyone with a couple of brain cells to rub together knows OJ Simpson is a murderer. That's a given. Anything he did of note during his sports career and his paltry and pathetic movie 'career' was washed away when he murdered Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. Sadly, to give this piece of human scum a public forum whereby he could massage his aching conscience may be despicable, but it isn't illegal - he can write and say pretty much anything he likes. It's not the legality that's at issue here, it morality. This mental lightweight either decided on his own, or was talked into revealing how he 'would have done it'. Not having read the book or seen the program I have no gauge by which to measure his motives - so I'll use a time honored process and guess. Perhaps he's been too long plagued by a guilty conscience and wanted to unload his burden. Or was he still beating that tired old drum of innocence. Or was he trying to have it both ways - to confess without actually saying the words? That he was even willing to go forward with this travesty illustrates his guilt. What person of conscience who was innocent of a gut-wrenching crime such as this would be willing to do a 'let's pretend' book about how he would have murdered the mother of his children and an innocent bystander had he had the opportunity? Well, folks, we all know how he would have done it because we know how he DID it. We saw the photos, heard the testimony. I've seen some reprehensible things in my life, but this one beats them all. Perhaps the most disgusting thing of all is that Simpson benefitted financially even though the project won't go forward. He was paid $3.5 million dollars - non-refundable, apparently. Since he's so 'moral' these days I wonder if he's going to live up to his legal obligations and give that money to the court for disbursement to the families under the civil case decision that awarded the families a $33 million dollar settlement - not a penny of which has been paid to date? All that said, there's one thing about this that is very troubling. Having this project - no matter how despicable - pulled on moral grounds sets a bad precedent for book publishers and television producers all over the country. I'm surprised some Republican senator hasn't yet jumped on the moral bandwagon and authored a bill on controlling the written word. So, here's a thought. How could we hope to avoid being polluted by this tasteless, morally bankrupt type of trash? Simple - by exercising the right to choose - turn to another channel, and don't buy the book.
OJ Simpson is the most arrogant and dispicable person on this planet. He needs to be living in a cardboard box for all he has done. He took a bunch of ignorant black females on his jury and snow balled them all the way. He would never have given any of those black females the time of day in his normal life. Look at the females he is involved with now. A bunch of teeny bopper blond white females that are young enough to be his grandchildren. He is a murderer and a pervert. It is still difficult to see how he was acquitted. What kind of people were on that jury? The most pathetic people in this world with their heads buried in the sand?? I wonder how many of them at this time wish they had looked at the truth instead of the football player??? He has never showed anything but the real person he is!!! A murderer and a total loser. His day is coming in the next life. I admire the Goldman and Brown families that the ' killer' has been able to walk around all of these years and live his life. I am not sure if I could have taken all he has done to these families. One thing we can always count on. All things end here on earth. OJ will die like the rest of us, and then it will be his time to face Ron and Nicole and then his forever punishment will begin.
For all of you who tell these families 'to move on' have never been in their situation. Talk is cheap, but if this was a family member of yours, your talk would be different. Their loss is still hurtful and will be until the day that they die themselves. Their loved ones were taken from them by O J Simpson, and then the jury of his 'peers' refused to punish him accordingly. They were dumb, and starstruck. As for your talk of color, the color of a man does not make a him commit a murder such as this. So don't try to make this a racial issue. He murdered because he is a horrible, horrible person, and should have gotten the death penalty himself. If I had been on this jury and let this person go free, I would still be having nightmares. What a travisty of justice!!! To the families of these victims, the Goldmans and the Brown's--my heart breaks for you everytime I see you on TV. Ron Goldman's father, Fred, has never failed to show how much he loved his son. I signed your petition on line, and please know by how many people did, that you have our support in this.
A pathetic fooball hero... America's # one religion is football...armed with a promise crusading salvation fairy tail scriptures tattoed on their bones...
I feel sorry for both families but, what is a sin is that Ron Goldman's family is making money off of OJ. OJ was found not guilty for the murders yet, the Goldman family is reaping the benefits off OJ's money and any future profits including the sale of his book. Where is the justice in the Goldman's collecting money from OJ? Please explain that since I do not feel there is no justice in that. How can he be found not quilty of the murders yet, have to pay money to the Goldman's and not be able to support himself and family? Nicole Brown's family has not been interviewed or get any money. Please express your opinion.
