It's important to remember the whole freedom of speech thing, no? Especially when you don't agree with the speaker.

And I think I need a lear jet.

Money, its a crime.

Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie.

Money, so they say

But if you ask for a raise its no surprise that theyre

Giving none away.

Huhuh! I was in the right!

Yes, absolutely in the right!

I certainly was in the right!

You was definitely in the right. that geezer was cruising for a

Bruising!

I dont know, I was really drunk at the time!

I was just telling him, he couldnt get into number 2. he was asking

Why he wasnt coming up on freely, after I was yelling and

Screaming and telling him why he wasnt coming up on freely.

It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out

OJ SIMPSON BOOK, TV SPECIAL CANCELED

[from: Yahoo! News]

NEW YORK - After a firestorm of criticism, News. Corp. said Monday that it has canceled the

O.J. Simpson book and television special "If I Did It."

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

A dozen Fox affiliates had already said they would not air the two-part sweeps month special, planned for next week before the Nov. 30 publication of the book by ReganBooks. The publishing house is a HarperCollins imprint owned — like the Fox network — by News Corp.

In the projects, Simpson speaks in hypothetical terms about how he would have committed the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Goldman.

Relatives of the victims have lashed out at the now scuttled publication and broadcast plans.

"He destroyed my son and took from my family Ron's future and life. And for that I'll hate him always and find him despicable," Fred Goldman told ABC last week.

The industry trade publication Broadcasting & Cable editorialized against the show Monday, saying "Fox should cancel this evil sweeps stunt."

One of the nation's largest superstore chains, Borders Group Inc., said last week it would donate any profits on the book to charity.

Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of murder in a case that became its own television drama. The former football star and announcer was later found liable for the deaths in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Goldman family.

Judith Regan, publisher of "If I Did It," said she considered the book to be Simpson's confession.

The television special was to air on two of the final three nights of the November sweeps, when ratings are watched closely to set local advertising rates. It has been a particularly tough fall for Fox, which has seen none of its new shows catch on and is waiting for the January bows of "American Idol" and "24."

Has anyone seen 'Dead Man' (Johnny Depp movie) The character (a shy accountant) ends up killing a man in a crazy situation and spends the rest of the movie on the run. His essence of being changes from meek accountant to murderer (which is the underlying theme of the movie) so his interior identity goes through a fundamental shift. OJ could easily be this character - he's gone through the whole shift from personable football/movie star to shameless murderer, so this book fits perfectly with his new identity. He's probably saying "what's all the fuss about?"

regardless, he should never have been allowed to financially benfit from their deaths. Claiming the book is hypothetical is obviously ridiculous, but it probably got him through a loophole. Every cent made should go directly to the victims' families.
