No respect for the deceased

[resqgeek]

I so want to rant about O.J. Simpson's new book (and the corresponding show on FOX). I'm terribly disturbed by the idea that he's (somehow) going to profit from this, while the families of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman have yet to receive any of the money awarded to them in their civil suit against Simpson. I'm worried that this book is going to sell well and that lots of people will watch the show.

I don't care how curious you are about Simpson and his story, supporting this guy is disrespectful to Brown and Goldman. While Simpson might be legally not guilty of their murder, I don't believe there are many reasonable people who have much doubt as to who the killer was. I can only hope and pray that the public suddenly develops a sudden epidemic of sanity and stays away from this book and show en masse.

He's going to profit, alright. Word today is that the contract for the book isn't signed by him...so no doubt it was structured so that the money wouldn't be paid directly to him. That's a great way to get around paying the Browns and the Goldmans.
This might, actually, be the lowest depth our culture has sunk to.
