    New York Times: Simpson and Fox News buckle under the pressure of media powerhouse Dr. Blogstein.

  3. Dr. Blogstein Says:

    That’s right! I will take full and complete credit for the end of the OJ Project.

  4. "My Point" Says:

    Dr. Blogstein….I met Vince this weekend, he so cool…hahahaha

    Off topic I now…I’ll email you and tell you how cool he is, and I mentioned your suggestion to him

  5. rtlsnke Says:

    Chalk up one for the silent majority..

  6. Dr. Blogstein Says:

    Very cool, Mr. Point! Did you talk Vince into running for president? Or at least he could be Rudy’s running mate!

    RTL: We weren’t so silent!

  7. Serena Says:

    Egad! The media has finally found a story that they are unwilling to exploit due to “bad taste??!!”

    What is this world coming to?! (Apparently something positive for a change.)

  8. Dr. Blogstein Says:

    Not quite, Serena. The media was all set to exploit it during sweeps week. Luckily, America finally had the sense to say “Enough is enough”

  9. Jeremy Barker Says:

    I too am shocked that there is something that Fox finds in bad taste, no matter what the reason. Perhaps they just want to save it for MySpace.

  10. slaghammer Says:

    I think Murdoch has something up his sleave. I predict OJ’s book will pop up through some small-time overseas publisher.

  11. choochoo Says:

    Wouldn’t surprise me if the sick freak manages to sell his book to someone else, though. There’s always somebody low enough to find that kinda thing thrilling.

  12. Starrlight Says:

    CNN is report OJ already was compensated, “an undisclosed amount for his children’s education.”

    Like they will see a penny of it.

  13. Jaime Says:

    wait . . . how am i going to find out how to kill people and get away with it!!

    i can’t afford private OJ tutoring classes.

    *sobs*

    all i want to do is kill people!!!

    Finally, common sense prevails.
