I've been thinking about this since I first learned of it. And, I have been furious since then.
Consider: this is a man who murdered the mother of his children and another human being, in cold blood. Brutally, calculatedly and seemingly without remorse. And now, he would like to earn money from the sale of his description of "how he would have done it" if "he had done the murders".
The interview has already been completed---it just won't air as planned. But, you know it WILL be seen. And his children and the families of the victims will see it or hear of it from others who will see it.
The book is bound to be a bestseller. People are morbidly curious. Actually, people are just damn cold these days. Moral boundaries have blurred, and many will read it and denounce it. They should NOT have bought it in the first place.
I say NO. Don't buy it, don't read it. The thing is a symptom of a serious problem in our society. Are we so desperate for entertainment that we will allow a man such as this to profit from these murders?

Quote:n 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.
