Was the OJ thing a hoax?

[oberliner]

How could there have actually been a book and tv interview where OJ would talk about how he would have committed the murders?

Doesn't the entire concept just seem a tad too far fetched to be believed?

How about this scenario:

Fox floats this ridiculous concept of such an interview.

Later, after a public outcry and lots of media attention, Fox does "the right thing" and "refuses to air" the interview and "cancels the publication of the book"

Fox is then promoted as a network of sanity and decency.

Any takers on that theory?

1. There should be a warehouse full of books right now if not a hoax.

The thing was due in 10 days.

3. Right, and you'd think some copies of those books would get out

If there actually ever WAS a book.

2. The plug has been

pulled on it. I personally think that OJ is losing what little mind he has left and is torn up with guilt. If there is any justice maybe he'll do away with himself.

4. I agree although I doubt he is losing his mind I think he is a narcissist.n/t

5. Most of what is going on in this country must be a joke

clear skies initiative
no child left behind
ABC special on the road to 911
people getting 55 year sentences for pot
6 year olds getting tasered
the war on christmas.........

I think it is planned to drive us all to medication so we won't have to deal with the insanity of reality.

7. I liken it to living in a Monty Pythonesque reality show.

Except I doubt they could have kept it going for 5 years.

6. I think it was legit and part of a larger scheme

It seems the media, in the aftermath of the "thumping," is trying to push the envelope to see how far they can go. Besides this OJ fiasco, there was the Glen Beck hate fest, saying to an elected member of congress that he was an enemy of the state. There have been other recent examples of sheer lunacy, even by today's standards as low as they are.

8. Kinda like

appointing a right wing nut case whacko who adamantly opposes birth control to oversee family planning (birth control for poor women) in this country?

9. I kinda figured Faux News propped it up so its RW poster boys could tear it down

OhReally and Hannity have been complaining about it, saying how wrong it is.
