Good Taste Is Timeless (Mr. Simpson and Planned FOX Interview)

Hard to believe, but it's being reported many places -- ABC, NBC, etc. Here's an ABC story:

Gah, this is disgusting.

Apparently the interviewer is the publisher of the book so this is nothing more than an hour of advertising for it. What kind of balls do you have to have to say "I didn't do it, but here's how I would have done it. It's all based on the evidence that points to me doing it, even though I didn't do it"

It's pretty simple:

1. Broke ->
2. Write obscenely sensational book explaining murder, but in hypothetical so as to not 'accidently' introduce new information and evacuate double jeopardy protection ->
3. Promote ->
4. Lose nothing from (completely awful) public perception ->
5. Buy yacht

Yeah, clearly - but the vaguaries of this kind of law could result in liability for future family etc . . . it most likely behooves him to eliminate that debt, for serious.

Especially if he can do it in a completely insulting and awful fashion, maybe?

just the thought of it is disturbing...you would have to be a really disturbing person to "recreate" a muder scene and descibe all those little details.. (assuming that he "didn't" do it)

Nope, apparently if he a) spends it fast enough or b) does some other tricky lawyery loophole thing, he doesn't pay a dime.

I don't think the family has collected much if anything from him and I read somewhere that he pulls in 2-3 million a year. The guy charges $125 for an autograph... and people pay it!

So is he looking back and telling people how he should have killed ron & nicole. maybe try to cover up some of the overwhelming evidence that pointed straight to him? He shouldn't have worn his bruno mali shoes and he shouldn't have dropped his glove. what is he trying to prove? anybody with any kind of sense knows he killed those two. And what about his kids? I feel so bad for them, it's bad enough their father killed their mom, but know dad has to write a book about it...come on.

Well, apparently both the book and the TV special have been pulled.

The publisher (who was going to interview him) said she considers this book his confession.


Oh really? Ya think?
