What’s worse than O. J. Simpson’s now-canceled TV interview and book deal? Actually these would be hard to beat. The idea was for an interview and book, both titled If I Did It, in which O. J. would describe how he WOULD have killed Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman in 1994 - IF he had in fact done it. Simpson apparently maintains his innocence, but Judith Regan (who wrote the book) said that she considers it his confession. Due to widespread anger at this concept (even Geraldo Rivera found it disgusting), the book and the interview are both trashed. However, the book was completed and printed and so (I believe) was the interview so I’m sure they’ll “leak out”. Only The Onion can adequately cover this story.
But worse than the Simpson story is the camera-phone video of “Kramer” (Michael Richards) screaming obscenities and racial insults at hecklers in a recent “comedy” act. (The video contains bleeped obscenities and the unbleeped n-word). Kosmo, what were you thinking?
