Chris Rock is psychic

The payoff comes at the end but damn it’s uncanny isn’t it?

P.S. Chris Rock is a genius.

OJ’s book and TV special cancelled



Back to selling cars

In a rare showing of decency (or was it the negative backlash?) Fox has decided to pull the OJ Simpson special and book titled “I killed them and this is how I did it you suckers. Now I’m going to go play golf” … or something like that. Rupert Murdoch, head of Fox pulled the plug on Monday.


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

Nicole Brown Simpson’s sister (god, we thought we’d seen the last of her) said that News Copr offered them all the proceeds of the television special and book as “hush money” but the family rejected it. Meanwhile, some copies of the book were already shipped to retailers but will be recalled and destroyed… so, uh, look for it on ebay any day now.

What do you mean IF, OJ?



And then I’d poke em in the eye…

After 74 consecutive weeks at the top of the “Will Do Anything for a Buck” charts, the Black Eyed Peas have finally been knocked off by O.J. Simpson. O.J. is pimping a book titled “O.J. Simpson: If I Did It, Here’s How It Happened”. The original rejected title was “Hell Yeah I Did It, You Suckers”.

Here’s the promo copy from Fox:

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. In the two-part event, Simpson describes how he would have carried out the murders he has vehemently denied committing for over a decade.

In a case of corporate synergy that would make Disney/ESPN stand up and applaud, Simpson will also be doing a two-part interview on Fox (owned by News Corp which also owns the publisher of the book) to be aired Nov 27 and 29.
