O.J. In Demand
Filed under: O.J. Simpson
Though Barnes & Noble had previously stated that they would not be carrying O.J.Simpson's new "fictionalized" memoir, If I Did It, the book retailers are now saying that they will sell it in their stores.
But they won't be promoting it, as if that's supposed to make things better.
Barnes & Noble spokeswoman Mary Ellen Keating said: "We've been monitoring the pre-orders and customer requests and have concluded that enough customers have expressed interest in buying the book to warrant stocking it in our stores. We do not intend to promote the book but we will stock it in our stores because our customers are asking for it."
For days Simpson's book has been in the top 100 on Barnes & Noble.com and at one point even topped the best-seller list. If I Did It has also entered the top 100 on Amazon.com.
O.J. won't be making any money off the book, though.
Over the summer, a federal bankruptcy judge awarded rights to the book to the family of victim Ronald Goldman to help satisfy a $38 million wrongful death judgment against Simpson.
If I Did It will be published September 13th by Beaufort Books on behalf of the Goldman family, which considers the book Simpson's confession.
The family of Nicole Brown, the other victim, objects to its publishing.

What a creep!
First
THAT GUILTY SOB!
I hate this guy.
Boycott!
what a douche
If the Goldman's are going to make money on the book, then I think EVERYONE should go out and buy it. They deserve to get paid and the murderer will go ballistic having to see his book being a best seller and not make a dime!
first
OJ's gonna burn for this one… as if murdering his wife and another man weren't bad enough.
ah, so the devil has won over barnes and nobles…nice.
2nd??? wassap!
HANG THE BASTARD!
HE DESERVES TO FRY FOR WHAT HE DID!!
I CALL A BOYCOTT OF THE BOOK!!!
Die Juice DIE - someone needs to take a machete and carve up this waste of human skin the same way he so viciously butchered Nicole and Ron.
Scumbag!
I know I'll be reading that book! I want to know what his motive was! It's hard for me to believe that you would drive over to your ex wife's house and slit hers and her lovers throat for snubbing you earlier that day!
Ewww, this guy is a totaly creep bag! May he rot in hell for the things he's done!!!
so the goldman's were outraged about the book coming out? NOOOOOO. they were outraged about OJ making money. now that it's their turn to cash in on the "tragedy", they can't wait for it to hit the shelves. they probably are planning on other merchandise like mousepads and visors. just like a bunch of jews.
He did it… waxy bastard.

So buy it to support the Goldmans. I'm ok with that. This book only makes people hate him more. Maybe someone will off him after reading it. HE DID IT.
Who can say he is innocent now?
I LOVE OJ!! HE KILLED A JEW!!
woo!
he is worse than scum of the earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! absolutely horrible. i hope what goes around comes around for him.
although if the proceeds benefit the goldman family, buy it and then throw it away without reading it. the whole idea sickens me. PUKE!!!
Gotta LOVE the AMERICAN JUSTICE SYSTEM!!!!
SERIOUSLY
I think B&N should promote it. The money is going to the family of the victim and they are right… it IS a confession.
I agree with Kitten. I just wish Nicole Brown's family would benefit financially too.

THE AMERICAN JUSTICE SYSTEM IS ANYTHING BUT JUST….
Americans are responsible for so many wonderful things that actually contribute to society but you will only ever be remembered for:
CELEBRITY JUSTICE
VIETNAM WAR
IRAQ
ASSASSINATION OF JFK
#28…..so you advocate filling our landfills with unread books? if you want to support the goldman's, send them a check. it's easier on mother earth and it won't encourage people to do this exploitative crap in the future. the goldmans should be ashamed of themselves.
I hope OJ Simpson rots in Hell!!!
#32…..the Brown family DOESN'T WANT MONEY OR THE BOOK PUBLISHED. they aren't money hungry jews like the goldmans. they were satisfied that the book wasn't coming out. but the goldmans could't wait to try to get rich quick. sick fuckers are just as bad as OJ.
i'm conflicted with this because i feel as if the goldman family is cashing in on the murder. however, they deserve some sort of restitution for the fact that the scum bag killed their son. either way, i think people will hate him even more, which is a good thing.
all the oj shit aside i just dont agree with the courts handing over the rights to the to another person. it just sets a scary precedent for future battles over intellectual rights
F*ck Him And His Dead Mother !
This is so fucked up!!!!
Can't wait till we elect a new PM here in OZ so I don't have to be embarrassed by John Howard SUCKING AND LICKING DUBYA"S ASSHOLE.
Love my american friends, but on mass "y'all" really need LOTS AND LOTS of HARD CORE THERAPY. Come to sydney for a couple of weeks, see how the real people live.
Mario, te quero mucho hermano…. besitos. !!!
Why are the familys getting mad .thats what they sued for .it was for the rights and to get paid .its part of the judgement so shut the fuck up
OJ isn't getting publicity. the goldman's are. it's their book. i wonder what GOOD they will do with the proceeds. i'm guessing it's not going to charity.
I will buy it to support the families of the victims.
I'll buy the book now that I know OJ isn't going to get a dime from it.
You know, I will say if the money is going to the Goldman family I certainly WILL buy it. Not to read it, but so they can make SOME of the money they won in the civil trial. If OJ was to make a PENNY off it no one should buy it. But as long as the money is going to a good cause, I say everyone should buy it. It would drive him insane knowing the book's title is "confessions of a double murder" and it's in his writing with additions by the Goldman family… I give major props to the Goldman family.
…does oj look baked to anyone else?
