Celebrity Justice
FOX Cuts and Runs on OJ

OJ SimpsonCommon sense and good taste seem to have prevailed: FOX has decided to pull the plug on both its planned OJ Simpson book and television interview special, "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened."

Good.

News Corporation Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said today, "I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project. We are sorry for any pain this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown-Simpson."

47. Just got off a great website that shows the trial and all evidence!

OJ KILLED THEM FOR SURE! Ah hello. There was so much evidence what happened at the trial to make the jury give such a bull shit verdict.

OJ will have his day in God's court! ROT IN HELL OJ!

48. Even though he is walking around this earth a free man, he appears guilty. It's nice to know he will walk around with a scalet "M" on his chest forever. It is sad to see what this does to his victims families and his own children.

49. I hear that Webster Dictionary is updating it's publication to include the word NIGGER, and next to the definition will be a picture of O.J. Simpson. He's a worthless piece of crap, and for those of you who are thinking that I am a racist, hold your horses, because I am not. I think people like Ted Kaczinksi and Jeff Dahlmer are scumbags as well.....but I think that O.J. is the only man in America that I can truly say is Nigger. I hate that horse's ass.....he deserves to be shunned by society. If you think he is innocent, just because you are Black as well, then you are a very stupid person who doesn't even have a clue. That piece-o-crap did it.....don't forget that Christopher Darden is Black, and he knew O.J. did it.

51. "9. Why do you put picture of a black-man and make him look crazy. OJ was found innocent and because of the racist media they have denied him of his rights. It doesn't matter, his book will sell very well , in-spite of your racist campaign."

Shakeem, you are probably the only person still around who believes OJ is innocent.

And we have the one issue black/white/red/yellow can finally agree on: the guy did it and he's guilty.

52. OMG. The world may implode! I guess I have to say the words I never ever thought I would say. Thanks Rupert, you did the right thing.

53. It great to see that some people still haven't figured it out, 2 people killed by one man with a knife. So one waited to be killed watching the other be knifed to death and then stepped up to be killed next by OJ, By the way I would wait to be killed while watching someone being knifed. Some of you people just don't get it, there is no way 1 man killed 2 people and neither could run to get away....this is shameful to see this level of racist comments......Do you think one person could kill two people at the same time......they we killed by more than one person, maybe OJ hired killers....that is a possibility, but him being able to kill me and someone else at the same time without a gun, forget it.....I could never happen!!! Some of you need to get a clue, badly.

54. They shouldn't have ever even thought about doing it, sad that it took public outrage to make them step back and reconsider, but good that they're doing the right thing finally.

Of course, anything that has ever been written or taped will end up on the Internet eventually (right, Britney?) but at least that sleaze won't profit (right, Fed-Ex?)

55. Gen-X, uh I doubt the book will sale. I heard they've cancel that as well. Any one else hear this?

56. Hey MrPoet.....go back and read the trial transcripts....DUH

57. Yeah no killer has ever killed two people at once....or wait no that's like a really dumb statement to make. Sorry. Never mind!

58. One other thing MrPoet.....you need spellcheck, badly.

59. Shakeem - Quit jumping to conclusions. TMZ isn't being racist by showing that picture of OJ. OJ is a crazy SOB killer and everyone, black, white, purple, and orange knows it. It wouldn't matter if he was white, everyone would still think he is a POS.

Quit trying to make it a racial isue.

60. Bill O'Reilly and OJ are the same. Well sort of. They both tell lies so huge that they cannot be confused with facts. I would love to see a luffa battle between OJ and Bill over Ann (I love to make stuff up) Colture. Okay, maybe not the TMZ video, I that is better left to the print media... Yeck!
