whadduya make of this OJ Simpson story?

Post by 7WetCigarettes »

LOS ANGELES -- Fox plans to broadcast an interview with O.J. Simpson in which the former football star discusses "how he would have committed" the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, for which he was acquitted, the network said.

The two-part interview, titled "O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here's How It Happened," will air Nov. 27 and Nov. 29, the TV network said.

Simpson has agreed to an "unrestricted" interview with book publisher Judith Regan, Fox said.

"O.J. Simpson, in his own words, tells for the first time how he would have committed the murders if he were the one responsible for the crimes," the network said in a statement. "In the two-part event, Simpson describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade."

The interview will air days before Simpson's new book, "If I Did It,'' goes on sale Nov. 30. The book, published by Regan, "hypothetically describes how the murders would have been committed."

In a video clip on the network's Web site, an off-screen interviewer says to Simpson, "You wrote, 'I have never seen so much blood in my life.' "

"I don't think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood," Simpson responds.

Simpson, who now lives in Florida, was acquitted in a criminal trial of the 1994 killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was later found liable in 1997 in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family.

Messages left with Simpson and his attorney Yale Galanter were not immediately returned.

It's pretty amoral but someone will watch. Hell, it'll be all the talk on the Glen Bill Grace Nancy O'Reily Beck Hannaty show.

Dude, wtf? Why do you have to somehow make excuses for people to be and make racist remarks? Just with that little sentence you say so much. Wasn't Fuhrmann quoted as saying several racist statements while at the scene of the crime? That dude was an ass, and was a proven racist by testimony of others at the scene, regardless if OJ did it or not.......which he did.

People b*tch about EVERYTHING.

It's sad, really.

It seems that in broadcasting the 'people' think they own you and we MUST bend to their demands.

"WHY ARE YOU PLAYING THIS GAME AND NOT XXX?

"I JUST BOUGHT A $XXX DIGITAL TV AND YOURE NOT HIGH DEF. FIX IT."

"OUR ORGANIZATION IS HAVING AN XXX, GET OUT HERE AN COVER IT"

"I WANT TO DO A SHOW"

"GIVE ME FREE STUFF"

"YOU SUCK"



OJ hate mail would liven things up.

This one is actually a viable gripe to me. Is there a projected time frame for 55 to get a high def feed?

End of 2007?

Since we are not a news channel, it is not a high priority.

Sports, on the other hand....

It costs a sh*t-ton of money to convert and its slow coming.

Bottom line. Stations don't "owe" anyone a digital signal for quite a while.

Unless of course everyone wants to pitch in for the conversion, or we could piss away the tax money on (the local) PBS station.

It wasn't the (network) programming that was in question.

Is there a national PBS station, say, that wouldn't be locally affiliated? Or a major metropolitan broadcaster available over satellite and such? I'm beginning to understand your petulance towards our local provider, but I can't survive without the programming.
