NEW YORK (AP) -- 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 publication of the book. It was being published by ReganBooks, 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.
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.

Oh, he's still alive then? I thought "cancelled" was like ghetto slang for "got a cap in his ass"...

I wonder if Jesse Jackass is going to get involved this time to get the book published to help OJ?

A man is stopped in heavy traffic in Los Angeles and thinks, "Wow, this traffic seems worse than usual. We’re not even moving."
Noticing a police officer walking down the highway between the cars, the man rolls down his window and says, "Excuse me, officer...what’s the holdup?"
"It’s O.J. Simpson," says the cop. "He’s all depressed. He’s lying down in the middle of the highway and threatening to douse himself in gasoline and light himself on fire, because he doesn’t have $8.5 million dollars for the Goldmans. I’m walking around taking up a collection for him."
The man says, "A collection, huh? How much have you got so far?"
"So far...ten gallons."
:O
